Greetings 👋
The true Christian walk is not a bed of roses. 🌹 It places a target 🎯 on our backs. God promises to get into the battle with us.
“Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world.
If you are insulted because you bear the name of Christ, you will be blessed, for the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you. If you suffer, however, it must not be for murder, stealing, making trouble, or prying into other people’s affairs. But it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name!”
1 Peter 4: 12-16 (NLT).
As we stand with Erika Kirk and celebrate the life of #CharlieKirk , we can take solace in these verses and many others. We who know Christ, understand our times are in his hands, and that some of us are called to martyrdom. God’s word is clear about this. #death #ErikaKirk
Please pray for leaders and influencers that God places on your heart. It can be a quick (silent) Nehemiah prayer. Pray that God will protect them and draw them ever closer to him.
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5 (NIV),.
