Ever wonder why you feel persecuted? Do
you find yourself saying to God, more than once, COME QUICKLY LORD!?
We have all at some point in our lives
found our humanness is such distress, thinking that the wrath of God
has come upon us..... but I want to share something with you. If you
are a born again believer, you will not ever suffer the “WRATH”
of God! But you will possibly/probably definitely suffer
PERSECUTION. I'm here to tell you—The Word says; “God did not
appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord
Jesus Christ.” The wrath of God was poured out on JESUS. First
Thessalonian 5:9
Just as God removed Noah and his seven
family members from his wrath, He will also remove us from the wrath
of this world, through the Rapture.
WE WILL HOWEVER SUFFER
PERSECUTION.......because persecution comes from SATAN and he is
after our righteousness! Though he will not get it, unless we
resolve our rights and let him, we will feel the pain of persecution
various times. But GOD sent His son and left for us the Holy
Spirit to comfort us and get us through the difficult times.
A
thought: There is a line in the book of Mark which
amazes me......it's this: “SEEING their faith, Jesus said to
the paralyzed man.”
What
do you think Jesus saw when he told the man “his sins were
forgiven?--after he SAW his faith.
What
is it that JESUS SEES in YOU that shows HIM that YOU HAVE FAITH?
Does Jesus SEE your faith?
When Lot and his family were living in
Sodom and Gomorrah, though living carnal, God still spared them from
His wrath. (several months ago, in Bible study, I taught about Lot and how he lived off of
Abrahams blessing, remember? Well, God spared him the wrath) AS it was with
Sodom and Gomorrah and with the Flood....God will remove us from the
wrath.
THIS is how we know there will be a
Rapture experience, because God for thousands of years has held back
his wrath.
God will come against unrighteousness,
but for now, though at times it seems bleak in lives of others or
other countries or families or even close in your homes......HE is
not pouring out His wrath.
He will allow persecution so that His
Son will be revealed even greater as we learn to TRUST IN WHO HE IS.
He is asking you to cling to him during
times of persecution and times of hardship.
The Rapture is not to remove us from
persecution. The Rapture is to remove the CHURCH from Judgment on the
earth.
God promises to be with us during times
of difficulties.......DO YOU BELIEVE IN WHAT HE SAYS?
Tell me....WHAT DOES HE SEE IN YOU?
