ON THE JOB TRAINING (Part 6)
“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in Heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” – MATTHEW 5:11,12
Darkness is descending upon the whole world, including America where the gospel has been sent out for years, being a fortress for truth. Free speech is being attacked and persecution is coming whether we like it or not.
We as the people of God will have to traverse this attack from the powers of darkness sent to destroy the preaching and teaching of the gospel of our salvation. We have been comfortable and complacent for so long that when this darkness comes most will suffer great distress and tribulation not knowing what to do and many will fall away.
The apostle Paul told Timothy to preach the word, in season and out of season, in other words no matter how tough it gets, including the danger of losing your life, “Preach the Word!” We have the message of this life eternal and millions are approaching the very end of their life, sinking into eternal damnation.
“Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long suffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.” – II TIMOTHY 4:2-4
