Persecution

Do you feel like you are being persecuted by life circumstances? Do you feel like you can not move on in life? Just how bad is it? Your marriage feel like it is over? Your health not the best? Matter of fact, your body is under attack right now. Your children acting like they have no home training? There are rumors on your job of a lay off? This person, you don't even know, keep attacking you with words against your character? 
Let me share with you, Jesus was persecuted for you. He was falsely accused. He was beat, not just beat but whipped until flesh tore from his body. They placed a crown of thorns on his head. He was mocked. He was nailed down to a cross, his hands and his feet. He was persecuted!!! 
But God! Jesus was raised from the dead for you! He took the sting out of death for you! He is now sitting on the right side of our Father, interceding on our behalf. Power is all His. The enemy has NO POWER!!
Remember when Jesus stated, “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
Repeat that verse and where you see Simon name, say your name. Remember He has prayed for you.
