Man UP

Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
             1 Peter 4:16

If you're soul'd out to the Lord you are more than likely experiencing some type of persecution right now or in a spiritual waiting room awaiting your turn. Please know that Jesus suffered persecution in the worst possible way. A key to suffering persecution is to KNOW we are not to be ashamed. Why? Because there's purpose in persecution, especially when we're being persecuted for Christ's sake. Another key is to not stop or stand there in it, but to GO THROUGH it, clothed in the full armour of God and singing praises because we already know the outcome.

When God gets the glory for the things we suffer, the blessings we receive are insurmountable! The outcome every time will be, WE WIN! If He promises that ALL things will work together for our good, know that even the bad stuff will eventually turn into a BLESSING! Now that's good news.

We've been given the power we need to go through persecution, but we make a choice not to do so for one reason or another. Go through your persecution today for Jesus' sake and receive the many blessings He has in store for you.

It's time the Saints of God Man UP!
