Persecuted for Righteousness

FROM GOD'S HEART TO YOURS


It is not easy for many who are walking in the
footsteps of Jesus today. There are many of our
brothers and sisters who are giving their lives for
the name of Jesus.
There is a cost in following Him. There are varying
forms of persecution and we are seeing that it is
really increasing in many nations of the world.

There is a cost to following Jesus. Are you willing
to pay the price? Are You willing to take up your
cross daily and follow Him? There is a cost for all
those that are willing to forsake the world and its
ways and follow after Him.

The Lord is asking each one of us if we are willing
to follow Him. Truly following Him when life is good
works but what about those times of great difficulty.
Are we still full of faith in those moments?

The Lord is saying "Come closer to Me.
I am drawing you now and it is time to come closer
to Me". "Will you take up your cross daily and
follow Me and love not your life unto death"?

Will you follow Me forsaking all if necessary for
My sake?
The times to come will not be easy but I will walk
with you and take you where you need to go.
Will you take up your cross and follow Me"?
