BLESSED ARE THE PERSECUTED

WOE TO YOU

REJOICE AND BE GLAD

YOU CAN PRAY WITH US …

1. Praise and give thanks to the LORD that he reigns and rules. Be in awe of His Kingdom, that it is only going to keep increasing forever and ever

2. Confess the ways you look like the world and love the world. Worship the LORD and confess your sin for not being in love with his design for hardship to follow obedience. 
3. Thank Jesus that he loved righteousness with all of his heart, soul, mind, and strength and that it led him to the greatest persecution anyone has ever suffered, which accomplished the greatest good anyone has ever achieved. 
4. Who in your life is being deceived by the false riches and blessings the world offers? Pray for their soul that the gospel would set them free and that they would run and cling to Jesus.
5. Where is the Spirit prompting you to make obedient decisions that may bring hardship to your life? Ask for courage in this act of obedience.
