WHY ARE YOU PERSECUTING ME? ( See: Acts:9:4:5) What is persecution? Persecution takes various forms. It may be limited to verbal abuse, ridicule, and insults (2Chronicles 36:16; Acts 19:9), or it may include economic pressures (Revelation: 13:16: 17), bodily injury (Matthew 27:29: 30; Acts 5:40), imprisonment (Luke: 21:12; Acts 16:22-24), hatred, and even death. (Matthew 24:9; Acts 12:2) It may be promoted by religious authorities (Mark3:6; Acts 24:1: 27), or it may be carried out by uninformed persons (Genesis 21:8:11; Galatians 4:29) and ignorant ones (1Timothy 1:13) or by unreasoning, fanatical mobs. (Luke 4:28: 29; Acts 14:19; 17:5:8) Jesus had also repeatedly warned his disciples, saying, “You will be objects of hatred by all people on account of my name . . . When they persecute you in one city, flee to another.” “A slave is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also.” “Men will expel you from the synagogue. In fact, the hour is coming when everyone that kills you will imagine he has rendered a sacred service to God.”—Matthew10:22, 23; John 15:20; 16:2:4 If one keeps God’s commandments as a Christian, it is impossible to escape persecution, for “all those desiring to live with godly devotion in association with Christ Jesus will also be persecuted.” (2Timothy 3:12) Yet true Christians are able to endure all manner of wicked persecution and still maintain a happy attitude free of malice and hatred of the persecutors. This is because they understand the issues involved—the source of the persecution and why it is permitted. Instead of being puzzled and worried over such experiences, they rejoice to share with Christ in the test of loyalty under persecution.—1Peter 4:12-14. Words of Jesus Christ: Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Matthew: 5:11:12 CAN A CHRISTIAN PASTOR SAY: HE HAS A BAD HABIT OF PERSECUTING CHRSTIANS? NO! For someone to say: I am a Pastor, or God has called me to Pastor a Church, and my bad habit is to Persecute Christians and to oppress them.... Such a Pastor is BIBLICALLY ILLITERATE, AND HE IS OPERATING IN THE SPIRIT OF ANTI CHRIST. When Saul the Tarsus was Persecuting and killing Christians, was he a Pastor? NO! (See: Acts: 8:1:40, 9:1:6) When Saul the Tarsus was converted, did he still go about Persecuting Christians? NO! (Acts: 9:20:22) After his conversion Apostle Paul said: But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Philippians: 3:7:11 He said: Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. 1 Corinthians: 11:1. How did Paul Imitate Christ? By Preaching Gods word, winning the lost souls, writing letters to churches and healing the sick... Did you know that most of the New Testament was written by Apostle Paul? The Bible says in Acts:10:38: How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. No wonder he said: Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. 1Corinthians: 9:26:27. You and I also have Matthew: 7:21:23 to consider; these are the very words of Jesus Christ. One can say: This or that person has a bad habit: because He/she smokes 10 packs of cigarettes a day, or drinks 5 bottles of Vodka a day, these are bad habits. You cannot say: I have a bad habit, and my habit is to kill people by using witchcraft..... There is an evil spirit in you, NOT a bad habit! Can Persecuting Gods precious Children and causing them harm be classified as a bad habit? NO! YOU ARE OPERATING IN THE SPIRIT OF ANTI CHRIST! REPENT NOW!!! Words of Jesus Christ: 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. But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. John:15: 20:21 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my names sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. Matthew: 24:9:10 You call yourself a Pastor, and your bad habit is to Persecute Christians, to cause them harm and to afflict them. YOU NEED JESUS CHRIST! When Jesus Christ said: They will persecute you......: He didnt mean by Pastors, Bishops, Reverends, Evangelists, Deacons and Deaconesses persecuting Christians, He meant unbelievers. The Bible CLEARLY says: And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians: 5:18:19. God has given us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION, NOT OF PERSECUTION! SELAH! SELAH! SELAH! Saul the Tarsus persecuted Christians when he was in the world, NOT as an Apostle Paul and servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. For he said: If I make you sorrowful, then who is he who makes me glad but the one who is made sorrowful by me? 2Corinthians:2:2. 1Thessalonians: 2:17:20 says: But we, brethren, having been taken away from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored more eagerly to see your face with great desire. Therefore we wanted to come to you—even I, Paul, time and again—but Satan hindered us. For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming? For you are our glory and joy. ( See also: 1 Thessalonians:3:1:10) Those who crucified Jesus Christ were NOT Christians, they were unbelievers! LISTEN AND LISTEN GOOD: IT IS NOT JESUS CHRIST THAT YOU ARE IMITATING BY PERSECUTING CHRISTIANS AND BY CAUSING THEM HARM, ITS THE DEVIL!!! YOU NEED TO BE DELIVERED FROM THAT EVIL SPIRIT IN JESUS NAME. Words of Jesus Christ: Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John: 8:44 John: 10:10 a: says: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy ITS NOT I (Idaline Joelle) that you are persecuting, its Jesus Christ. JESUS CHRIST IS ASKING YOU TODAY, YES YOU: WHY ARE YOU PERSECUTING HIM? REMEMBER THIS: For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 2Corinthians:5:10 IF YOU ARE: a Pastor, Bishop, Reverend, Evangelist, Deacon and Deaconess persecuting Christians, come back to God in REPENTANCE TODAY by praying this prayer with meaning in your heart: God be merciful to me, a sinner. I repent now of all my sins and turn from them, trusting you to wash them away in the Blood Jesus shed on the Cross. Make me a new creation in Christ Jesus, and give me power to live for You from this day forward. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. After you have prayed this prayer, ask God to give you grace to live above the flesh, NOT EVER to persecute Gods Precious Children; those whom Jesus Christ has purchased with His Own Precious Blood, made FREE; Those God has called SONS AND DAUGHTERS AND CITIZENS OF HEAVEN! SELAH! CAN GOD TAKE THOSE PERSECUTING HIS CHILDREN AWAY BY DEATH? IF THEY REFUSE TO REPENT, YES!!! Job: 9:12 says: If he snatches someone in death, who can stop him? Who dares to ask, What are you doing? (See: also: Isaiah: 49: 25:26, Job: 34:19:25) He said: Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. Isaiah: 43:4 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should RETURN from his WAYS, and LIVE? Ezekiel: 18:23 The Psalmist said: The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. Psalm: 34:16 Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned. Psalm: 34:21 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. Psalm: 37:10 The wicked shall be turned into HELL. Psalm: 9: 17a. He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. Proverbs: 29:1 ~~ MAY THIS VERY MESSAGE STAND AGAINST YOU IN THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT IF YOU CARRY ON PERSECUTING GODS PRECIOUS CHILDREN. AMEN! ~~ WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH IN RED: They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin. SELAH!
