MoneyWalk #109: Prosperous in Persecution

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

We all suffer various forms of persecution as we walk the way that God wants us to financially and otherwise. In some Middle Eastern, African, and Asian countries some suffer imprisonment, torture, and death as a result of choosing to follow Jesus. Some are forced into indoctrination camps of other religions so leaders of these countries can attempt to brainwash truth out of their minds. Laws in some of these nations consider Christianity criminal and some governments attempt to establish non-scriptural doctrine within Christian churches by requiring that they register and hold meetings when, where, and how the government desires.

It doesn't bode well for America's future that some governments have drafted ordinances and courts issued decisions that restrict Christian activity contrary to biblical principle, the United States Constitution, and beliefs of our founding fathers because this further erodes our moral base and ultimately will result in greater societal chaos and anarchy in the future until corrected. Even though there is moral decline in some arenas, less people acknowledging Jesus Christ’s rule in their hearts, and verbal and legal attacks on Christianity by some government and civic leaders, I thank God for America because people are still free to worship God in the manner they want.

While we realize there are negative situations Christians must live and minister through, we must also remember the positive result of Christ in our lives: that we are prosperous in persecution. The church always has many of its greatest advancements in times of persecution. Soldiers are not made on a bed of ease when they desire to obtain victory in order for their countrymen and themselves to live mostly in peace. Rather, they are trained and built on the battlefield where war rages so they may do their duty for the time in which they serve. Christian solder, even though you will suffer persecution, you can be certain that God will supply all your need abundantly so you can do every good work whereunto He has called you and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guide your heart and mind.

Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!!!
