受逼迫
不但如此，凡立志在基督耶稣里敬虔度日的，也都要受逼迫（提摩太后书3:12）
亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，提摩太后书3:12说：“凡立志在基督耶稣里敬虔度日的，也都要受逼迫”。你实在懂得这句话吗？这里所指要受逼迫的，不只是超级圣徒，也不只是深入敌人领地的传道士，而是所有人（每一个在基督耶稣里的真信徒）。
如果你为了上帝而敬虔度日，那么沿途中你就会受到苦难和迫害，因为魔鬼肯定不会让你好过。
我现在不是在吓唬你或打击你，我之所以跟你讲这些实话，是想让你作好准备。一旦你对魔鬼的战略阴谋了如指掌，那么他就难以在你的身上实施邪恶诡计，因为他的目的是要让你的灵命混乱不堪，以致你脱离上帝的轨道。
哥林多后书10:4说：“ 我们争战的兵器本不是属血气的，乃是在 神面前有能力，可以攻破坚固的营垒。”所以，握紧了你的武器，时刻准备好迎战撒旦的攻击。那么，无论何时又不管怎样的迫害临到你，都不会让你的生命有片刻的停顿而减慢下来，你永远都会勇往直前。有马太福音10:22保证，我们“忍耐到底，必然得救”。
这对现今的我们来说尤其重要，因为我们正生活在末世。撒旦和他的鬼魔们知道自己的时日不多了，所以他们是不顾一切、殊死一搏，他们要尽其所能地阻挠教会。但是，主耶稣在马太福音10:22说：“地狱之门决对战胜不了祂的教会。”
记住，当我们成长得越像主耶稣，就越能让上帝的荣耀透过我们的生命多多地彰显在世上，那么我们对撒旦的国所造成的威胁就会越大。所以主耶稣说：“当那日，你们要欢喜跳跃，因为你们在天上的赏赐是大的。”（路加福音6:23）
因此，当逼迫临到你的生命，而你又知道其中的意义，那就为此欢喜高兴吧！服从主耶稣的教导去做，开始欢喜雀跃地赞美上帝！如果你遵照而行，那么从此就不会有什么逼迫能伤害得了你。我是实在地经历过，所以我就是见证。
Suffer Persecution
2 Timothy 3:12
(KJV)
Yea, and all that will live godly in
CHRIST JESUS shall suffer persecution.
Dear Brothers and
Sisters,
2 Timothy 3:12 said “all who live
godly lives are going to suffer persecution”. Did you understand that? Not just
the super-saints, not just the missionaries in hostile lands--but ALL (Every
true believer in CHRIST JESUS).
If you're going to live for GOD,
you're going to run into persecution somewhere along the line. The devil's going to make sure of it!
Now I'm not saying that to frighten
you or to depress you. I'm saying it because I want you to be prepared. When
you're wise to the strategies of the devil, it's harder for him to use his
wicked scheme successfully on you to confuse you and get you off GOD’s track.
Second Corinthians 10:4 says, "For
the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through GOD to the pulling
down of strongholds." So stay armed and ready for Satan's attack. Then, whenever
and however it comes, it won't bring your life to a halt or even slow you down.
Matt 10:22 assured us that “. . . . The one who stands firm to the end will be
saved.”
That's especially important right now
because we're living in the last days. Satan and his devils know their time is
drawing short. They are desperate. And
they are going to do everything they can to stop the Church. But JESUS said in
Matt 10:22 “. . . the gates of hell would not prevail against HIS
Church”
Remember the more we grow to be like
JESUS and the more GOD's glory is revealed through our lives on Earth, the
bigger threat we are to Satan's kingdom. JESUS said, "Rejoice and be glad at
such a time, and exult and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is rich and
great and strong and intense and abundant in heaven" (Luke 6:23, The Amplified
Bible).
So, when persecution comes your way,
and you know it will, rejoice and be glad. Obey the teachings of JESUS and begin
to leap and jump in joy and praise GOD! There is no way persecution will hurt
you if you do that. I've tried it and it works.
