 Hebrews 12:3-4


For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.


To the remainder of saints who have chosen Christ as their Savior and continue to stand boldly in their most holy faith. I thank God, my God for the privilege to serve with you in battle.


There have been some great battles to go through and overcome as we have been fellow partakers enduring this season of judgment among the house hold of faith. The accounts of our predecessors, our forefathers, the holy prophets and apostles have paved the narrow path for us concerning spiritual persecution. Though there is no way to effectively put in words the things that the men and women and the saints of God are going through. It is safe to say that the persecution that they warned of is real and very prominent among the true and faithful servants of the Most High who refuse to take down for sin and the abominable things. Though we are in a country that once had been established on the foundation of Jesus Christ and the glory of His righteousness, the enemy has utilized fear, intimidation, and seducing spirits to lead many of the chosen of God to slaughter and to surrender their authority. The persecution has not come in ways in which many recognize with the natural eye, yet we compare the spiritual with the spiritual. The persecution has come through the workplaces and in the pubic schools. Health care workers pushed into corners facing intimidation to do ungodly things to people including children and babies. Folks have been told to not come to work until they eliminate the Holy Spirit from their lives. Spiritually, many are being tested and tried by fire; In whatever way the adversary can think to challenge the true saints of God. Meanwhile, leadership and the godly heads are relinquishing their authority to put wickedness and abominable things in positions where Jesus Christ is suppose to be reigning. They do it freely without even seeking for the counsel of the Most High. However, to the children of the Most High who haven’t given themselves to the enemy, the Lord says seek after His spirit to lead and guide you. Seek Him with praise, with worship, with joy and hymns that will keep you through these times. Hold dear the truth and confidence of His Holy Word. Watch and pray to stay within His hedge of protection. For even today many of us have not resisted sin unto the shedding of blood because of His Spirit and His tender mercies and loving kindness. These trials are small considering the sufferings of our predecessors. They were beaten, they were stoned, some were boiled, and encountered all manner of evil for His name’s sake. Stay the course, finish the race for those who endure to the end shall be saved.

Jude 20-25

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
And for some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
