Even in the Face of Evil

A time of very great hatred against My people is approaching. My people will be persecuted as never before and in nations where they never were before. 

This persecution is aimed at making those who believe deny Me.  It is part of eliminating all that bears My Name from the earth. I have long warned you this time is coming. It will be a most dangerous time for My people.

How will you respond children, when men hate and revile you for no reason? Will you respond with anger and hatred of your own?

Or will you remember what My Word says and respond with My love even in the face of evil?

2 Timothy 3:12 - 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

John 15:18 - 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you.

1 Peter 3:14-16 

14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy [are ye]: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

Matthew 5:10 - 10 Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Luke 6:22 - 22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you [from their company], and shall reproach [you], and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

Isaiah 50:6-9

6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

7 For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

8 [He is] near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who [is] mine adversary? let him come near to me.

9 Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who [is] he [that] shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
