Scripture: 2 Chronicles 20:5-9 - And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court, and said, O lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee? Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend of ever? And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying, If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (For thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.
Subject: What To Do When We Are Persecuted
- How do we respond?
- Precepts to help.....Be conformed to likeness of our God.
- We should resemble our Lord through our bodies, souls and minds through Jesus Christ.
- We need to apply God's blessings.
- God is concerned by the finished product. Have we been tried by the fire?
- Isaiah 48:10 - See, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
- For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12
- Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
- God uses all things for his good.
