The Increasing Persecution Of Christians

There can be no doubt that the persecution of Christians is growing. It’s happened before and it will happen again. But one thing that is true looking back through history (there’s that ugly word lol), is that it DOES end! We just need to pray our way through it.

Worthy Devotionals went through a small part of our Christian history today. First Herod tried to kill Jesus and we see how that worked out-Christianity spread through out the world! Then evil persecuted the early church in hopes of destroying it, but it only became stronger. In the Dark Ages, Christians could not even read the Bible. Catholics and Protestants turned against one another. And then none will ever forget the Inquisition and the pain and suffering it caused. And these are just a few events.

Now, we have the “information age”. Too much meaningless information and not enough information that really matters. And there is the physical persecution happening in Afghanistan and other countries. And then there is the constant onslaught of pressure in the United States pushing people to follow the governent rather than to Follow Jesus. And that “pressure” is rising and starting to move to outright threatening!

But when Christians come together in faith and pray, only good can happen. Our Father has not stopped answering prayers made in Jesus’ Name. The Holy Spirit lives in us and Jesus loves us! And whether we are physically together or physically separated due to Covid, it will not effect our ability to pray.

It’s a Narrow Road. With the Holy Spirit’s Help, Let us be One Voice, One Church, raised in Prayer to our Father in Jesus’ Name.
