MUSIC & TESTIMONIES

Come and join us as we praise the Lord through music, testimonies and lift up those who need help in prayer. Songs this week include:

God of Our Fathers Be Exalted, O God Because He Lives] He Paid A Debt He Did Not Owe He Touched Me	Heavenly Father, I Appreciate You Blessed Be Your Name I Will Bless The Lord At All Times Glory to the Lamb

The Epistle to the Hebrews
Part 16: Are You Ready For Persecution?

Are Christians immune from suffering and persecution? No, because if it were so, that would make us better than Jesus. It is therefore important to be real about the suffering that awaits those who have put their faith in Christ. Jesus certainly did not hide the fact that persecution would be part of every believer's life. Salvation is free but Jesus suffered greatly as a result. It is therefore impossible to accept the work of the cross without persecution because that's the way it has been for the last 2,000 years. As the time of the Antichrist draws near, Christians need to be mentally prepared for the massive persecution that is coming. Death and injury are a way of life in the military and we need to be ready for combat with the Devil and his fallen angels. We need not dread their evil works because fervent prayer can change circumstances, and when you praise God during suffering, it brings down the power of God.
