Persecuted Kingdom
Persecuted Kingdom
“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.” Matthew 5:11
The greatest proof that God’s kingdom has come to earth is the willingness to be persecuted.
If anyone tells you the kingdom of God is all peaches-and-cream, don’t believe them. They are liars!
The Sermon On The Mount (Matthew 5-7) is the “Kingdom Manifesto.” In these memorable words of Christ, he identifies a singular, irrefutable proof that the kingdom of God has come: persecution.
When the kingdom of God comes on you, you will be set free from the fear of man, and your love for Jesus will become supreme. For this reason, Jesus went on to say, “Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you” (Matthew 5:12).
Loving Father, set me free today from the fear of man. Baptize me now in the love of Christ.
Please PRAY!
We are asking God for the remaining world countries and U.S.A. states to receive the training of the College of Prayer. Pray with us today for Iran and Nevada.
