PERSECUTED MEN OF GOD
____________________
Jesus warned his followers of persecution. He said in Matthew 5:11-12 [NKJV], “Blessed are you when they revile [verbally abuse] and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely [lies and accusations] for my sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad [in it], for great is your reward in heaven, for so [also] they persecuted the prophets [men of God] who were [in times past] before you.”
Jesus made a historical reference to Old Testament times of persecution against men of God. Let us look at one specific example from 2 Chronicles 24:15-25.
Judah’s king was Joash, who was generally considered a godly king, and was influenced by the very godly priest Jehoiada. However, when Jehoiada died at the age of 130, the princes of Judah came to Joash to be his counsellors. They shunned God’s temple and set up groves with pagan idols.
God sent prophets to the princes and to King Joash, but they would not listen. When Jehoida died, The Holy Spirit of God came upon Zechariah, his son. Zechariah rebuked Josiah and the princes [vs. 20] for their transgressions. The princes were offended by this word that came from the Lord, so King Joash had Zechariah stoned to death. [vs. 21-22.]
King Joash paid for his sin. A rather small Syrian army defeated Judah. The other sons of Jehoiada assassinated king Joash upon his bed.
Yes, they persecuted and killed the godly prophets like Jesus said, then they also persecuted and killed Jesus. Just as Joash was punished, shall those that persecute us for bringing forth truth, all in God’s timing. In the meantime, are you prepared for the advancing persecutions and revilements? How will you respond?
Do not fear but be encouraged by your future reward. God will not abandon you. Keep trusting him no matter how bad or painful it may become.
Jesus told us to rejoice in Him when this happens. Rejoice, and declare praises to the name of Jesus that he has accounted us worthy to suffer. [Philippians 1:29.]

THE FLESH VS. THE SPIRIT
____________________
Because of the fall of Adam, we are each individually born with a sinful nature. This nature controls our behavior because we do not have the Spirit of God in us. When we invite Jesus to be our Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit comes into our spirit, and it is born again.
Then the battle begins. We now have two natures. The old sinful nature, and the new incorruptible new nature given to us through salvation. These two natures are at enmity (opposite – as in hatred vs. love) with each other. Genesis 3:15 tells us that God put enmity between the seed of the woman and the seed of Satan. This battle continues until we shed our mortal bodies.
Romans 8:5 says, “For they that are after the flesh [old nature] do mind the things of the flesh [old nature], but they that are after the Spirit [God the Holy Spirit] the things of the Spirit.”
The fleshly old nature will bring death, but the Holy Spirit-born again new nature brings life and peace. We make the choice as to which nature to feed. If we do the deeds of sin we feed our old nature, but if we choose to go the way of the Word of God, we feed our new nature.
We read in Galatians 5:24, “And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.” This is a choice. It is a moment-by-moment choice to be controlled by the Holy Spirit. Crucifixion is painful but necessary if we are to live a victorious Christian life not controlled by our old nature. Crucifixion means saying no to the old nature and yes to God.

Prophetic Word
as given to Helen Todd Sanders
Favour, divine favour is coming to you saith the Lord, but what a price must be paid to receive such a blessing. You have sought me with your heart and your soul and all of your might. You have gone through the valleys and the dark places where no one was there but I, saith the Lord. You have been in the desert, and you have been thirsty for me, and so dry that your tongue cleaved to the roof of your mouth, but you kept going saith the Lord. You have held on to the promises that I said were yours. The cost has been high saith the Lord, but you have persisted, and stayed close to the lover of your soul. The cost has always been high saith the Lord, for the prophets of old had to stay close to those with the anointing so they would be ready to receive when their time, yes, I say their time came. They paid the price, and their breakthrough came like I had promised. They pressed on and persevered through the darkest of circumstances, but they prevailed. Yes, they prevailed against the enemy of their soul, and they received my favour. You too have seen the cost and have surely paid the price. The tears shed and the hopes broken have only brought you closer to the time that I would surely pour out the blessing of my son Abraham upon you. Yes, my child, favour is here, and you have paid the price, and you surely shall see it come with your eyes saith the Lord.

Thought For Today
How well do you know your Bible?
What does God say about healing?
”Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,“
Psalms 103:2-4 NKJV
Do you know what the armor of God is and what it does?
”Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—“
Ephesians 6:11-18 NKJV
What does God say about forgiveness?
”If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.“
I John 1:9 NKJV
