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 gospel 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 does not bode well for people’s future that some governments have drafted laws and judges have issued court decisions that restrict peoples’ ability to teach what the bible says, evangelize the lost, and build people up in the most holy faith. This activity is contrary to God’s will and it erodes the country’s moral base and ultimately will result in greater societal chaos and anarchy in the future, unless corrected. I pray that the Holy Spirit would move the heart of leaders around the world to eliminate laws that attempt to restrict people’s freedom to live Christ-like and thus be productive and prosperous.

While we realize there are negative situations that Christians must live and minister through, we must also remember the positive result of Christ in our lives: that we are prosperous in persecution. Just like diamonds are made from many years of extreme pressure and dross on gold and silver are eliminated via seemingly unbearable fire, so God allows us to be pressed, crushed, ridiculed, and persecuted in order that we may display His character through it and be fashioned into blessed vessels useful to His kingdom and to those around us.

Christian solder, let the peace of God that surpasses all understanding guide your heart and mind, so that even though you will suffer persecution, you are certain that God will abundantly supply all your need so you can do every good work for which He has called you.

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