Psalm 10: 16-18 says,
"The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from the land,You listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more."
And, what is our job, Saints?
The answer is found in 2 Corinthians 10:5,
"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
In John 15:12-26, Our KING, Christ Jesus says,
"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other.
"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me hates my Father as well. If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: 'They hated me without reason.'
"When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.
Many of our brethren who are persecuted around the world are already familiar with the reality of these verses.
The freedom to openly practice our faith in the God of the Holy is in jeopardy here in the United States. May the LORD Our God have mercy on us. Much is at stake here as the original intent of the nation was to serve as a refuge for those who wished to escape religious persecution directed against those who practice Bible-Believing faith.
---Just like you---I am a daily recipient of the promises of Romans 8:28--- experienced with the eyes of faith-- and as God grants His strength (for I have none of my own) willing to follow hard on the heals of those in Revelation 12:11who overcame "by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death," the most immediate death required being death to the "self" life that can lead to the exercise of personal vengence.
Thanks be to God that Christian is a race!
We are "a new creation" race of people of every kindred and tongue
that shares one bloodline,the Blood of Christ, that runs through the
spiritual veins of each believer in Christ Jesus as Lord.
Saints, That blood, the Blood of Christ Makes us a member of
One Nation Under God.
ONE NATION UNDER GOD!
ONE ONLY UNDER THE BLOOD OF CHRIST JESUS!AMEN!
I invite your comments and prayers.
In Christ,
