About a year and a half ago I was trimming the weeds at my house and my weedwacker went crazy on me! It let loose and whipped my leg over and over and I can remember looking down at my leg, the first thought that came into my mind after this "little whip" was.... I wonder what Jesus went through? Right after that the thought came through my head...Persecution is coming. This happened on a Sunday afternoon on May 24, 2014. On Monday I called my brother and shared the story with him. He said you got to be kidding me. Yesterday I was trimming my tree and a branch whipped me across the chest and left a big mark. I looked down and had the thought, I wonder how Jesus felt? The same action, the same thought, the same time on that Sunday afternoon. At the time this happened Christians had faced no persecution in America. I let this go for about a year and then it has came to my mind over and over again as the tide of change has started to come in America. For the first time the church is under minor persecution, nothing compared to the days of Jesus. Could the start of persecution of Christians be coming to America? I sure hope not but I think it could be. If it does are we ready to risk it all for our faith in Jesus? Are we willing to stand up against culture even if it affects our financial situation? What if we could lose our job? What if..... I believe if it does it could be the greatest and the worst days the world has ever witnessed. The greatest days because we will see the true church arise. We will see the Acts church come back, the days of miracles, signs and wonders. The days of people risking it all and leaving it all to pursue the greatest gift of all Jesus Christ. Just like the days of Peter. Fishing along the seashore and at the sound of his voice, dropped his net to follow Jesus. Will you be willing to risk it all if persecution does come? Good News.... The bible says we will be in good hands...The Kingdom of God is coming, Jesus is coming back!

But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, Mathew 10:19

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Roman s 8:35

Yes, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution 2 Timothy 3:12

What is our Hope? Our hope is in Jesus and I believe he is coming to redeem his bride!
