Today's devotional reading for:
Saturday, Nov 2, 2019 Pray for the Persecuted Church
“Yes, and all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.”
— 2 Timothy 3:12
Humanly speaking, persecution against Christianity began with Jesus Himself being spitefully treated and then crucified.
It continued with the persecution, torture, and murder of the disciples, and then of many other followers of Christ. It went on in greater ways in the entire Roman Empire during ten huge waves of persecution.
For almost 300 years, persecution swept across that kingdom, and millions of Christians died. Then the Edict of Toleration was issued and the persecution ceased—at least for a while.
Then it broke out again and again and again and again.
Still today, persecution continues.
In the 20th century, more Christians were persecuted and killed for their faith than in any other century. Stalin killed ten million or more.
Hitler killed six million Jews; also six million other people, most of whom were Christians.
The Korean Communists came into churches, sprayed gasoline on the congregations, and turned flamethrowers on them.
In recent years, mostly in Muslim countries, but also some in the remnant communist countries, Christians are being imprisoned, they are being beaten, they are being tortured, they are being crucified by the hundreds, they are being skinned alive, they are having their eyeballs plucked out, and they are beheaded.
This is happening in our world in our times.
Pray for the persecuted church.
Pray that they will be faithful through it all.
Ask that God would take the persecutors and redeem them or remove them.
Heavenly Father, we thank You that You are sovereign and though You allow persecution, one day You will avenge Your enemies. Hasten that day, Lord…
BY GOD’S STRENGTH, WE KNOW THAT
CHRIST WILL EVER GET THE VICTORY.  | ||||||

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever
Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.
Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.
To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.
Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!
