For those who are alone, mocked, ridiculed, and alienated in their own homes because of our faith in Christ: Stand strong and shine! You're not alone! Eyes on Jesus! Keep walking on water —walking in your faith, looking for the Blessed Hope! And Keep looking UP! He's coming!
👉🏼I don't know how many of us are constantly attacked in our own homes for our faith in Jesus, and not only that— but attacked for our Blessed Hope. But according to Jesus, probably ALL of us!
⚔️Our faith in Jesus comes with a high cost. He warned us that He would come to bring division. When He said these things, He was preparing our hearts and laying the foundation for us to stand during those days when we would see ourselves being attacked, mocked, and ridiculed in our homes.
📖"For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law." Matt 10:35
👉🏼He even went to the extent of saying:
📖" and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his household'. " Matt 10:36
👉🏼He knew the enemy would take his best shot at us by using the ones we love against us. At that moment, we are at our weakest and most prone to surrendering, giving up our faith to avoid the deep pain of feeling separated from them or not being accepted by them— this way, we would easily end up conforming to their expectations.
👉🏼He went even further:
📖"He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." Matt 10:38
👉🏼When we come to the cross, we experience the overwhelming power of God's love, finding eternal forgiveness and acceptance! At the cross, we are born again and become ONE with Him and from that moment on it's utterly impossible to not love Him back! It's impossible not to love the one who saved us and forgave us. As we die on that cross we are given a new life and along with it, the power to endure everything — that is the power of the Holy Spirit who lives in us, in His power we can go through the pain of being separated from those we love.
⚠️If we don't go to the cross, we won't be born again, nor will we receive His Spirit and the power to stand on that day!
🔊We're not alone! Our payday is coming very soon! Everything we're facing here will be NOTHING compared to what He has in store for us. Stand up strong and let the Lord keep shining His light through you! Let's keep walking on water, and keep looking up!

⚠️ IF YOU ARE NOT IN CHRIST, AND YOU ARE NOT BORN AGAIN, PLEASE DO IT NOW!

📖"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:16-18)
