First I want to say may Robin Williams RIP and that mental illness is real people, I work in the field so I know and we should all thank God for keeping us in our right mind because it can happen to any of us.
2nd I want to say may the young African American men that were killed RIP also. Pray for the families of these men and pray for change to come. I am saddened that the police are so scared of our men/boys that they feel it's ok to execute them. The devil is having a field day, prayer is desperately needed.
Now I won't lie I don't watch the news like that, which I should because then I would know who and what to pray for but honestly sometimes the news can be so oooo depressing. I recently posted on my instagram about Mike Brown's murder and the man I'm dating said "everyone is posting about all of this other stuff but no one is posting about the Christians that are being persecuted in Iraq". He went on for days about that and he's still going on about it. I finally turned to the news and I didn't see it and then he told me to look on CNN. I also looked online and I must say, my heart broke. Lord have mercy, the pictures alone were heartbreaking.
This group ISIS is forcing people to choose between following Christ or dealing with horrific consequences up to death. Children are being beheaded, parents are being killed and what is America doing? We can mind everyone else's business when it comes to oil or whatever but when it comes to people being murdered what do we do, NOTHING!!
Now Jesus said we would be persecuted . That if the world hated him they would hate us.
2 Timothy 3:12 KJV
"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."
There it is clear as day In Revelation 20:4 KJV
"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."
And then in John 15:18-20 KJV
"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also."
The truth is none of us know when Christ is coming back but the end is near and we must get our houses in order. People are killing eachother from children to adults, sexual immortality, stealing, people are doing strange things and Christians are being beheaded/ murdered. Is this not in the bible? Did not Paul and Peter warn us? I heard someone in the church say if Christ is not back soon there will soon be two choices Christ or the mark of the beast. I pray for Christ return before that happens to the whole world but for now I pray. I pray for my fellow Christians, I pray for this world because they have no idea what is ready to come and they refuse to hear the gospel, i pray for you all and I pray that you keep me in your prayers. Most of all I pray for my fellow Christians, may you receive the courage of Daniel and the strength of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are all in desperate need of prayer, lets make prayer the first thing we do in the morning and the last thing we do at night and let's not be selfish in prayer but praying for one another. Peace and Blessings to you all!!!!
