You will have tribulation

"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (‭John‬ ‭16‬:‭33‬ NKJV). Are you ready to stand in the midst of persecution that will rise up against every believer in every nation? We see how persecution has come to some of our fellow brethren and in other regions of this world. It may not totally be around us quite yet, but it will soon come to us also. Jesus reminds us that suffering will come upon every believer, and He also says, "If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you" (John‬ ‭15‬:‭18‬). We live in a time where the enemy has blinded so many people from the Truth, even to the point of them abandoning their faith. It hurts to see those who we love so lost in darkness. It hurts to see those around us deceived by the evil one. We, the church, cannot give up praying and interceding for this harvest and the laborers of the harvest. We must continue to believe that God is about to do something powerful. "Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also'" (‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭20‬ NKJV). The time has come when the children of God must stand for Christ, despite the outcome of our lives. The enemy is only getting bolder. It's time to get stronger in the Lord. God bless you. Amen
