JESUS SAYS IN matt.5 ;10 BLESSED ARE THOSE WHICH ARE PERSECUTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS' SAKE; FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. AN INCIDENT JUST RECIENTLY HAPPENED TO ME, AND MY FAMILY, AND I HAD TO GO BACK TO THIS CHAPTER IN THE WORD OF GOD TO SEE WHAT JESUS WAS SAYING ABOUT PERSECUTION TO HIS DISIPLES AND THE MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE WHO WAS FOLLOWING HIM. JESUS WAS THE GREATEST TEACHER WHO EVER HIT THIS PLANET. HE TOLD US EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED TO SURVIVE IN THIS WORLD. OUR FAMILY HAS JUST GONE THROUGH A LOSS OF A YOUNG MAN, JUST ENTERING MAN HOOD, IN A TRAGIC KILLING, WE ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING MY GRAND DAUGHTER BEING IN JAIL, NOT FOR A CRIME SHE COMMITTED, BUT FOR NOT TALKING TO THE POLICE, THEY THINK SHE KNOWS MORE THAN SHE IS TELLING THEM. THEY WANT HER TO PUT HER LIFE ON THE L;INE FOR THEM, BUT WHAT ABOUT DANGER TO HER AND PEOPLE SHE CARE ABOUT. WHO BUT JESUS IS GOING TO PROTECT HER. AT THE END OF THE DAY. ONE WOULD THINK THIS WOULD BRING THE FAMILY A LITTLE CLOSER TOGETHER, BUT THE DEVIL HAS GOTTEN IN THROUGH BITTERNESS, AND JUST PLAIN OLD EVILNESS, AND HATE. JESUS KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN, THATS WHY HE HAS WARNED US IN THE WORD, IM THANKFUL THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL LEAD AND GUIDE US INTO ALL TRUTH. HE GAVE ME A WORD MANY YEARS AGO, THERE IS NONE SO BLIND AS THOSE WHO WILL NOT SEE. THATS RIGHT I SAID WILL NOT SEE. THERE IS THE TRUTH STARING THEM IN THE FACE, BUT THEIR STUBBORNESS, DISOBEDIENCE, BUTTERNESS, MEANNESS, HATEFULNESS,, PRIDE WANT LET THEM SEE THE TRUTH. THESE PEOPLE ARE SPIRITUALLY BLIND, THEY CANT SEE.. GETTING BACK TO BEING PERSECUTED FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING. I KNOW HOW THAT FEELS, AT FIRST WHEN THAT HAPPENED, I GOT ON MY KNEES, AND PRAYED TO GOD, BUT I STILL COULDNT SEE WHY MY FAMILY ALWAYS TREAT ME BAD, EVEN WHEN I TRY TO DO ALL I CAN TO HELP THEM, BUT UNTIL THIS DEATH HAPPENED A FEW DAYS AGO, IM FINALLY GETTING THE PICTURE OF HOW IT FEELS TO BE PERSECUTED FOR RIGHT LIVING. THANK GOD , JESUS HAS SET MY MIND AND HEART RIGHT, AND NOW IM REJOICING, saten HAS ALREADY LOST. JESUS SAYS THAT I CAN REJOICE AND BE EXCEEDINGLY GLAD FOR GREAT IS MY REWARD IN HEAVEN, THEN HE GOES ON TO SAY, THAT THE PROPHETS BEFORE ME WAS ALSO PERSECUTED, MY GOD IM IN GREAT COMPANY, THEY EVEN DID IT TO JESUS. MY GOD IM JUST PRAISING YOU FOR THE WORD, FOLKS THIS IS WHY THE WORD OF GOD IS SO IMPORTANT. GOD CAN GIVE YOU PEACE EVEN IN THE MIDTH OF THE STORM, SO I SAY TO THE DEVIL, BRING IT ON, IM READY WITH THE WORD OF GOD, AND TO THOSE FOLKS WHO CANT SEE, WHO ARE SPIRITUALLY BLIND, THOSE OF US WHO KNOW THE TRUTH MUST PRAY THAT THE EYES OF THEIR ENLIGHTENMENT WILL ONE DAY BE OPENED, AND WE CAN REST ASSURED THAT GOD CAN AND WILL FIGHT OUR BATTLE, SO JUST GIVE IT TO JESUS, AND PLEASE GET TO KNOW JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR, FOR HE DIED FOR ALL OF US, BOTH JEW, AND GENTILE, AND SAINT AND SINNER. BE BLESSED, LOVE YOU ALL.
