"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."
-John 15:18,19


And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Mark 13:13, Luke 21:17



I couldn't have said it better. In John 15:18,19, it is simple as the Lord says. If you walk in the ways of the world, you're fine and dandy, but as soon as you become born again, the world will not show you any mercy and won't take any prisoners.


I know this full much, and I'm sure the Christians that are fighting the good fight can agree. Now...persecution is persecution...it hurts and a lot of times, it really bites, but for this same pain, frustration and aggravation, the Lord said to rejoice!

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Matthew 5:11-12


I suffer most of my persecution online, it still hurts, but there are some Christians that suffers death. I recently found these inspiring videos of Christians in Indonesia preaching the Gospel without fear, singing and shouting to the Lord in the midst of the angry world.

Check it out on youtube [link]
It's amazing...although they're speaking in mandarin, I could clearly understand the Praise song to God.


In the next video, three Indonesian women were thrown in jail for two years for preaching and converting Muslim children to Christianity. Despite the jail time, these women are still doing the works of God!

And lastly...in America, eleven Christians were jailed for preaching against homosexuality.

So don't you American Christians think that we're gonna get it easy! I say that not to bring fear, but it's just a heads up. You live for God, you'll get persecuted, but rejoice, rejoice, rejoice.

Watching those vids made me very happy and because of it, I surely won't stop preaching.

Glory to God.
