Lord, I come to You and I ask
that You send Your ministering
angels to comfort each of them.

Lord, I pray that You bless each
of them with a supernatural peace.

Lord, I pray that You bless each of
them with a supernatural love for
their enemies.

Lord, I pray that You bless each of
them with a supernatural ability
to forgive those that persecute them.

Lord, I pray that You bless them
with the ability to minister to their
enemies.

Lord, I pray that You give them
a supernatural ability to handle
the pain that is inflicted upon
them.

Father, prepare Your people,
Jew and Gentile, to face these
end-time wars with courage.

Father, bless us with a determination
to witness to those who are lost and
dying an eternal death.

Father, thank You for hearing my
heart tonight….
it is so heavy with sorrow and pain
for all those that are being tortured
and killed around the world.

Father, I ask that You deliver Your
people out of the hands of their
enemies….even if it has to be in
a supernatural way…Just as You
delivered King Jehoshaphat’s kingdom
from their enemies.

Confuse and scatter the enemies of
God, the Great I Am.
Turn them on each other and make
them destroy each other, if they will
not repent and turn from their
wickedness.

Thank You God for Your love,
mercy and grace.
I will praise You all the days of
my life.

In the Mighty and Powerful Name of Jesus
Christ I Pray…Amen and Amen

As I was praying today and ministering to
different precious saints, God began to speak to
me about the upcoming trials, tribulations and
wars that are being waged against His children
around the world…..
God took me to today’s daily scriptures….
Revelation 2:9-11 and then to Mark 8:35
I came to the realization that all men, women & children
who have been blood bought by Jesus Christ
will have to suffer in one way or another…..
especially in these end-times……

When we are born again, we get this great big
red bulls-eye stuck on our backs and chest….
the enemy of God (which is satan) uses us for
his target practice.
Literally….
Satan sends his evil hoards to attack each of us
personally and through our loved ones & our enemies.
Sometimes his attacks can be a temptation….
for example….
lust, alcohol, drugs, adultery, lying, cheating,
pornography, hate, unforgiveness,
rebellion, and many, many other ways….

Some precious souls will go hungry….
Some will have severe sickness and disease….
Some will face false accusations, slander,
betrayal…..
Some will have to face the death of children…..
Some will face homelessness….
Some will face poverty….
Some will face false imprisonment…..
Some will face the loss of family due to
drugs, alcohol, rebellion….
Some will face torture and persecution….
and
Some will face death…..

All because they are born-again believers
and followers of Jesus Christ.

As we begin to see and hear more about the evil
of ISIS and other killers….
Fear wants to set in.
We are human, and we have fear raise its ugly head
from time to time…
But when we seek God’s peace….
when we seek God’s word….
when we pray for God to give us
supernatural courage,
supernatural strength,
supernatural faith,
supernatural love for our enemies….
and the supernatural ability to forgive our enemies
even if they take our life….
Then we can overcome all that the devil meant to
do to steal our soul.

Now I know that the word of God has many, many
scriptures encouraging us to persevere….fight
the good fight of faith….not to fear…etc…..
But these few passages is where God lead me today.

I would like to encourage you to go to the Word of God
today and seek out what He has to say about facing
your enemies in faith. From Genesis to Revelation
there is testimony after testimony of great victories
and horrific defeats….but all are important for us
to know about.

Here are some examples of faith based spiritual and natural
warfare weapons we can hold onto and use…..
Psalms 23
Psalms 91
Ephesians 6:10-18
2 Chronicles 20
Hebrews 11
Judges chapters 6-8
1 Samuel chapters 17-30
the book of Acts……

The word of God is full of great testimonies
of men and women of God who faced horrific
challenges and attacks. Many, many times
God delivered them out of the hands of their
enemies….Unfortunately many were killed for
their belief in God and in Jesus as well.

God is the same yesterday, today and forever…
God is no respecter of persons…..
if God allowed those things to happen to
King David, Job, Peter, James, Paul, John and so
many, many, many more of God’s precious saints…….
then why do we expect, almost demand
that God keep us safe from all persecution?

In the modern day churches, we seek out God’s
blessings…we expect God to shower us with
riches, & glory and never allow any kind of trouble
to come against us….
We freak out when our lives turn upside down.
Instead of reaching out to God and asking
God for His will to be done…Instead of seeking
God’s direction…Instead of turning to our faith and
praising God for His protection to see us through
the storm we are facing….We freak out, we run
away from God…we become angry, bitter, full
of slander against God, His people and His
ministers.

What if God chose us to be tested as Job was
tested?
What if God allowed each of us to be held
against our will in a dirty nasty prison?
What if God allowed each of us to be beaten
as Christ was beaten?
What if God allowed each of us to be crucified
as Christ was crucified?

Well, not all of God’s children will face such
horrific situations….
But there are many around the world who are
facing such horrible attacks, torture and
even death for their faith.

We, as a part of the Body of Christ Jesus, need
to spend more time praying for each other.
That means our brothers and sisters all around
the world, not just in our local communities.
We need to spend more time reaching out
to the hurting and lost souls of this dark
world we are living in.

God tells us to be prepared to suffer for our
belief in Jesus.
Jesus tells us that because mankind hated Him,
they will hate us.
We are told that because Jesus suffered, so
shall we.

God loves us!
God does not want any of us to perish…
that means die an eternal death, unsaved.
God does not want any of us to suffer….
but this world is a very wicked evil dark
place…and mankind’s favorite pastime is
to fight among ourselves.
Life doesn’t have much value these days.

It is coming a time when each of us will
be tested in our faith.
Are you ready?
If a man held a gun to your head or a
knife at your throat and told you to
renounce Jesus….would you follow
his instructions…or would you trust
God to deliver you, even if God
delivered you into His eternal
loving embrace?

James 1:2-4 & 12
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever
you face trials of many kinds, because you
know that the testing of your faith develops
perseverance.
Perseverance must finish its work so that
you may be mature and complete, not
lacking anything.
Blessed is the man who perseveres under
trial, because when he has stood the test, he
will receive the crown of life that God has
promised to those who love Him.”

The devil is here to steal, kill and destroy
mankind! Period!!!!!!!!

Please do not take your walk with God
for granted.
Please dig deep into God’s word and
seek out a closer walk with Jesus.
Because there will be a time soon
when we each will have to face some
kind of horrible attack.

If you are not being attacked by the
devil…then you need to do a
spiritual gut check…….

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 NIV
“We are hard pressed on every side
but not crushed; perplexed, but not in
despair; persecuted, but not abandoned;
struck down, but not destroyed.”

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 NIV
“For our light and momentary troubles
are achieving for us an eternal glory
that far outweighs them all.
So we fix our eyes not on what is
seen, but on what is unseen. For
what is seen is temporary, but
what is unseen is eternal.”

2 Corinthians 10:3-5
Ephesians 6:10-18
Hebrews 10:19-22

May God bless you today with deeper
hunger and thirst for righteousness.
May God bless you with a new found
desire to serve Him and His Kingdom
purpose.
May God bless you with
supernatural faith
supernatural courage
supernatural strength to persevere
supernatural love
supernatural ability to forgive

Evg. Sherrill A. McDonald

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….
Be faithful, even to the point
of death, and I will give you 
life as your victor’s crown.

Whoever has ears, let them
hear what the Spirit says to
the churches. The one who
is victorious will not be 
hurt at all by the second 
death.” 

Revelation 2:9-11 KJV

I know thy works, and tribulations,
and poverty, but thou art rich and 
I know the blasphemy of them 
which say they are Jews, and 
are not, but are the synagogue of
satan. 

Fear none those things which thou
shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall
cast some of you into prison, that 
ye may be tried;…..
be thou faithful unto death, and I
will give thee a crown of life. 

He that hath an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit saith unto the 
churches; He that overcometh
shall not be hurt of the second 
death.
