Persecution

" We made secret compartments under or floor boards and hid Jews" Her crystal blue eyes testified of and experience that could not be understood totally in words. Our precious polish sister went on to share how God blinded the eyes of the German invaders and the Jews were kept safe. "The blood of the Martyrs are the seed bed of the church" - said one aged Chinese believer. Volumes couldn't be enough to comprehend that phrase. We see the history of persecution leads to multiplication of growth because NOTHING can stop the work of God - the work of truth. Hebrews 13:3 "Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body". Thankfully in our country we have not faced persecution to the levels that we see in the 10/40 window. In these days of preparation we equip ourselves with Gods mindset with simplicity knowing that Gods purposes will be fulfilled despite us. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Corrie ten boom, Richard Wurmbrand, Frankel and many others pointed to Jesus and they didn't value their body over their soul. Self preservation loves its life more than God. See your life today from this perspective and don't sweat the small stuff! You are being prepared for an Eternal Display of Gods Faith fullness.
