Good morning! How are we faithing? Everyone should be happy, wealthy and at peace with the world right? Hang on a second. Where does that come from? Who ever said those things are what Christianity is? Who ever said being happy on this earth was number one? Well it wasn't Jesus. He even told us belief in him will cause division mainly at home. Then he told us we will have tribulation in life because like what Solomon said, "the rain falls on the just and the unjust." Not to be a downer but we must face truth and from the Word comes truth. This is Jesus talking truth;

Mat 10:21-22  And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. And the children shall rise up against their parents and cause them to be put to death.   And you will be hated of all men for My name's sake, but the one who endures to the end shall be kept safe. 

Do you see it happening in the world? If you don't, the blinders need to come off. People. get ready because Jesus is coming for his bride and we need to be ready. We need to stand strong in the face of evil and not be surprised when it shows up. We are being persecuted and while the physical persecution hasn't started in this country yet, be assured it will.

Heavenly Father, We thank you for salvation and we praise your name. Help us be aware and prepared to face what we will in this time we are here. Lord, it can be a little scary to think on these things but we want to present you, without fear, to a dying world. In Jesus name, amen
