This could be their motive for shuttering churches and.threatenning and arresting Christians.
Lead a people to fear to worship. Then, offer a answer to their fears. A behavior of compliance. Promise obedience.ro those new systems control will lead to peace and prosperity. Because otherwise the fears will continue to grow since they are generated because we weren't all on the same page.
It will work on many too . But watch this . They think they can destroy the true churches , when in truth
persecution dont destroy , it refines . Watch the beauty of what refining fire , of gold tried in the fire will do .
Just as it has in times past , just as it has in China .
But most will fall for the lie . They will and do create a false fear , a means by which they can CONTROL the minds of the masses .
It dont work on the lambs , but it sure does on the wordly .
And the reason it dont work on lambs , is because PRAISE GOD , greater IS HE IN US than he that is in this world .
Thus they can pump all the fear out they want . But lambs do not fear man , they do not fear death .
THEY have all hope . JESUS is their hope . To them , TO LIVE SIMPLY MEANS ONE THING . CHRIST JESUS
and to die simply means one thing . GAIN , to be forever with HE who has saved them .
But watch what occurs during persecution . Let us examine a more modern persecution .
WHEN china shut its doors under communism many might have thought that christanity would have died .
BUT NOPE . It had a one hundred fold fruit explosion . WHEN Them doors were opened back up
IT was loaded full of way more true lambs . PERSECUTED , but growing . and growing not only in number , BUT IN THE FAITH .
MARCH ON with no fear . IF WE LIVE , ITS UNTO JESUS and IF WE DIE ITS UNTO HIM . For whether we live or die
its unto HIM and we are HIS . STRAP ON all the armour and let the LORD be praised with all thanksgiving , from joyful hearts
unto HE who has given us such hope IN JESUS CHRIST . SING TO THE KING . LET THE LORD BE PRAISED .
