Kenneth Copeland Devotional 11 October 2024 | Prepare For Persecution
Topic: Prepare for Persecution
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. – 2 Timothy 3:12
Did you catch that? He said all who live godly lives are going to suffer persecution. Not just the super-saints, not just the missionaries in hostile lands—but all.
If you’re going to live for God, you’re going to run into persecution somewhere along the line. The devil’s going to make sure of it!
Now I’m not saying that to frighten you or to depress you. I’m saying it because I want you to be prepared.
When you’re wise to the strategies of the devil, it’s harder for him to use them successfully on you to confuse you and get you off track.
Second Corinthians 10:4 says, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.” So stay armed and ready for Satan’s attack. Then, whenever and however it comes, it won’t bring your life to a halt or even slow you down.
That’s especially important right now because we’re living in the last days. The devil’s time is drawing short. He is desperate. He is going to do everything he can to stop the Church. But Jesus said the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church!
Remember the more we grow to be like Jesus and the more God’s glory is revealed through our lives, the bigger threat we are to Satan’s kingdom. Jesus said, “Rejoice and be glad at such a time, and exult and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is rich and great and strong and intense and abundant in heaven” (Luke 6:23, The Amplified Bible).
So, when persecution comes your way, and you know it will, rejoice and be glad. Take the Jesus cure and begin to leap and jump and praise God! There is no way persecution will hurt you if you do that. I’ve tried it and it works.
