Monday June 1, 2015 “Blessed Persecution”

Matthew 5:10-12 “10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  11 “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
Yes, that is what Jesus said.  From the beginning of the early church who was told to keep your mouth shut about Jesus to the martyrdom by ISIS and in America the stifling of Bible truth by the godless – persecution is nothing new.
Pray today that as the early church was threatened to be “shut up in jail” if they would not shut their mouth that believers in America have courage to speak the Name of Jesus and uphold His truth in the government and marketplaces of America.
