"Prophetic WORDs!"

 

"Realizing the TRUTH!"

 

Luke 21:12-19 (New International Version)

(Jesus speaking)"But before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. This will result in your being witnesses to them. But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. All men will hate you because of me. But not a hair of your head will perish. By standing firm you will gain life.

The Apostle Luke records Jesus speaking to HIS disciples about accepting and following HIM as Lord and Savior in Faith, and the Victory that would be gained by standing firm through every trial and persecution that was yet to come.

As a result of their persecutions and oppressions, they would be a witness of Christ and HIS WORDs of Truth.

Many disciples heard the WORDs of Jesus that day, and later in their lives when they faced circumstances exactly as Jesus prophesied, they rejoiced for having been found standing firm in their Faith in Christ.

Whatever I may face as a Believer in Christ, whether it be betrayal by friends or family, persecution by officals in authority or suffering death at the hands of my enemies, I will remember it was HIS disciples who faced all these and more, being found faithful as witnesses, true and dedicated to God's calling and purpose for their lives.

I too desire to be found standing firm, both faithful and true, guilty of being a witness of Christ, leaving no doubt as to my committment and dedication to my resurrected Lord and Savior.

 

O'Lord, YOUR WORDs comfort my heart and soul,
they are soothing and sweet upon my lips!
I will Rejoice, shouting Hallelujah,
giving Praise to my Savior and Lord!!
That YOU suffered and died for me,
for in my suffering and bondage, YOU have set me free!!!
Use my life now, preparing me as YOUR witness forever!

 

 

Amen!
