The Privilege of Persecution
“Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness …” Mat 5:10b
At present, many men, women, and children around the world are facing persecution. Many more will face it in the near future. Indeed, persecution against Christians and Christian standards is now taking shape across the USA, and this persecution is becoming more aggressive and intense with each passing day. As we would prepare for any upcoming event in our life, so we should spiritually prepare for both present and coming persecution. Days of persecution are days to stand up in victory—not flee in defeat!
These are the notes from Nan Cunningham’s ladies’ Bible class at the Kansas Bible Conference, August 21–23, 2015.
Kansas 2015 Ladies Class

Love the Battle Session 4
From Series: "Learning to Love the Battle -- Tulsa, 2021"
Gene taught at the Tulsa Bible Conference hosted by Heritage Bible Church, Catoosa, OK Aug 27–29, 2021; the theme and title came from "The Lord is with me like a mighty champion..." (Jer 20:11). Why should we love the battle? 1) Because God is faithful and can turn our suffering into victory and our cursing into blessing. 2) We can love the battle because nothing can touch us without God’s permission. 3) We can learn to love the battle because God’s grace and truth is sufficient for our every need.
