Part 2
“For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God; and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?”
I Peter 4:17
It is my firm conviction that most believers in America are soft and are ill prepared for approaching persecution.
Joseph Stalin said “The average American is so intellectually lazy, so inherently selfish, and so limited in his outlook, that America will fall like an overripe fruit into Communist hands.”
When persecution comes there will be perplexity. It will continue to come gradually, but in time, as much as 2/3 of Christianity will succumb to apostasy. Freedoms will continue to vanish and true churches will have to go underground becoming creative with their evangelism.
When persecution comes we must be prepared. Such preparation begins with our attitudes. We must accept God’s Will and appreciate the freedoms that we had, understanding that we were not eternally vigilant when it came to our lost liberty. Leadership is born during adversity. There will be those among us who motivate courage and hope to those who do not defect.
When persecution comes we must claim the promises. God can still bless and empower His churches even though we lose our buildings, our bank accounts, and our civil liberties. Maybe then we will understand that we are called to be different, and that we are in the world but not of the world. Maybe then we will enjoy an unfeigned trust in the Lord without the fungus of materialism. And maybe then God’s people will discover that God is really all we need. Hallelujah….this sounds like REVIVAL!!!!
“…In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
