“Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven! Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in Heaven is great!” (Mt 5:10-12) ~ GOD
You’re Blessed, when your commitment to God provokes persecution! Notice Mt 5:10-12 doesn’t say, “if" men revile you, but "when" they revile you and say all kinds of evil against you—lies and slanderous accusations. Yes, it’s tough to bear, but out LORD and Savior says, “You’re Blessed,” when you endure it, promising a great reward for your patience and mature endurance! (Jm 1:4) #Surely, LORD, You bless the righteous; You surround them with Your Favor as with a shield! (Ps 5:12, 3:3, 84:11) “In righteousness you will be established: Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you. Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake!" (Is 54:14-15) ~ GOD “Weapons Will Form—None Will Prosper…. This is the heritage of My servants & their righteousness is from Me!” (Is 54:17) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, Your Word in 2 Cor 4:9
