Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse Persecutors
-
People who don't want our light showing on their evil deeds.
2 Timothy 3:12
In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will
be persecuted John
15:20
Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his
master.'[ 15:20 John 13:16] If they persecuted me, they will persecute
you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also' When
I am weak, I am strong (through Christ) REJOICE
- We are all partakers of Christ's sufferings TURN
PERSECUTION INTO POWER
1. Learn
to thank God for persecution (in everything give thanks)
We are all robbed from God's purpose by not
giving thanks.
All things come from the hand of the Lord.
Romans 8
28And we know that in all things God
works for the good of those who
love him, who have
been called according to his purpose
All things come from the hand of the Lord.
The joy of the Lord is our strength 2.

Philippians 4
4Rejoice in the Lord
always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your
gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be
anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with
thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of
God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your
minds in Christ Jesus. 1
Peter 4
12Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you
are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. 13But
rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that
you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 14If you are
insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit
of glory and of God rests on you. 3.
