Persecution is about to come in 3 layers : Finance , Belief and fortitude . . .
So watch My children for I AM your Provider ( Finance ) ,
I AM your Testimony ( Belief ) ,
And I AM your Battle Armament and Power ( Fortitude ) ! Push through all this by merely speaking things into light and life ( ( ( * ) ) ) ,
For I Am your AMOS ( A Matter Of Substance ) so do not fear but be strong in My Power and Might for I AM the Kingdom !
Romans 8:34-36 34Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
1 Thessalonians 3:6-8 Timothy’s Encouraging Report
6But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you. 7Therefore, brothers, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith. 8For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord.
Revelation 2:10
Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.
