It is happening in China, Korea, the Middle East...etc.

I'm just awaiting the day when we, American citizens, are going to be persecuted. Sure, it's going on mildly, but soon we're going to see people burning down our churches and killing people because we're Christian.

In truth it is happening globally and more people are being martyred for Christ now that any time in history.

Agreed. I actually noted the places where I felt it is happening more.

Well, at least I know God protects me, not the government.

...but when it happens, don't drop down and cry and give up. Oh, no! Ask yourself why you're being persecuted, and find your answer in God.

Then dance in the ashes! Give praises and rejoice! Amen! I think the devil wants us to be sad and suffering. But if we take comfort in the Lord and raise our hands to worship Him, he'll give us extra strength.

We're dangerous, us Christians. We spread love and hope, forgiveness, truth and faith. That's mighty dangerous to some people.

Hold your head up high and laugh. It's for His glory that we're going to be persecuted.

That's a gift, for me.

Yes Whirlwind so true. We are Christian soldiers in the Army of God. and no matter what comes our way , we know that we know that God will be with us to protect us. We have the power in Jesus name to say to the knife wielding or gun toiting person ..... in Name of Jesus satan you have no power and Jesus Christ is my strength and shield and in Him do I put my trust . Thankyou Jesus.
