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!

Safeguard Your Soul - Session 1
Philippians Chapter 1
Scripture References: Philippians 2:5
From Series: "Safeguarding Yor Soul - 2020 PA Ladies Retreat"
We know that the only perfectly steadfast and sinless soul that ever lived was the Lord Jesus Christ. From His very birth, He set His mind on the mission God sent Him to this Earth to accomplish. He set His face like flint to the task; He lived and died to reconcile man to God. To safeguard our soul would be to arm ourselves with the “mind of Christ,” to think as He thought, and to walk as He walked.
