 We have to be rid of this idea that just because your persecution isn't as bad as someone else's persecution that therefore it doesn't count as persecution. It's important that you understand what persecution is because when you understand that you're being persecuted it does two things. It helps you to prepare yourself spiritually so that you can stand strong under the persecution but it also encourages you to know that there is a privilege in persecution. It's the fellowship of his sufferings. If they persecuted the Lord Jesus they're going to persecute you. That's the fellowship of his suffering. That's to truly understand his ways by way of suffering. Now I'm not saying that the believer's life should be one of misery but all of us will face conflict of one kind or another. All of us should at some point endure some kind of persecution and again this allows us to prepare spiritually and it also encourages us to know that greater glory is coming because when persecution comes upon your life so does glory. Glory and persecution come hand in hand and I'll show you that a little bit later but first let's look at the various different kinds of persecution there are four of them. Number one insults yes this is a form of persecution. Matthew chapter 5 verse 11 and 12 says this, God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers be happy about it be very glad interesting that he says that for a great reward awaits you in heaven and remember the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way so again this idea that something doesn't count as persecution because others in other parts of the world are being persecuted more severely that's just not biblical. When you're insulted for the sake of the gospel that is a form of persecution when people call you a bigot when they call you narrow-minded when they call you ignorant or old-fashioned that is a form of persecution it's quite possible that you're the only one in your family who serves the Lord maybe you're the only one with your last name who's actually going to church who's actually serving God who actually believes on the Lord Jesus and it can become difficult especially when you come to family gatherings and there are all these people around you who are mocking you who are who are verbally insulting you who even behind your back speak things about you like oh they think they're better than us or oh they got really weird or oh they're in a cult that's another thing they might say they might say that you're in a cult especially if you insist on holiness think about the fact that Christians are portrayed in the media as being these bumbling old-fashioned fools who don't know anything about the real world and these types of insults these types of how shall I say perspectives on your character perspectives on your personality perspectives on you these are actually forms of persecution the scripture says in Luke 626 what sorrow awaits you who are praised by the crowds for their ancestors also praised false prophets what a warning here what sorrow awaits you who are praised by the crowds now this doesn't mean that we should have a poor reputation in the world in fact the scripture is very clear on the standard that the believers should meet we shouldn't have bad reputations but if we're persecuted for righteousness sake then there is great reward but when we're celebrated by the world that's when you know things are probably a little bit out of line that's actually a really good indicator if you're a preacher and you're watching this if the people of the world constantly agree with you if the people of the world celebrate everything you say if the people of the world are never offended by the truth that comes out of your mouth when you're standing in that pulpit then it might be time to start preaching the gospel when we are persecuted in the form of insult there is actually reward for this now the scripture says god blesses you when people mock you and when they lie about you when they persecute you when they say all sort of evil things about you why because you are my followers now not because you're super religious and hyper critical not because you're sad and stoic and super serious and a lot of believers think that the more spiritual they are that the meaner they should become or the less approachable they should become or the more stoic they should be don't confuse stoicism for spirituality a lot of Christians think that if we're to be deeply spiritual we got to be serious we have to be mean we have to be harsh we have to be rude we have to be angry we have to be off put by everything around us no that's not spirituality but if we're persecuted not for being weird not for being mean not for being hypocrites if we're persecuted for being actual followers of christ that's when there's a reward many times people are of the impression that just because they claim christianity and people don't like them that that's a form of persecution but many times it's because people live like hypocrites that the world doesn't like them but if you are actually being persecuted because you're a follower of christ if you're actually being persecuted for righteousness sake if they're actually speaking things against you specifically because you're doing things the way scripture teaches you to do it well then there is a blessing that comes on that so what sorrow awaits indeed those who are praised by the crowds that is a good indication that you probably aren't on the right path but when you begin to walk on that narrow path people say oh that's a bigot now people tell me all the time you're very narrow minded i say yes well jesus said narrow is the way so number one is insults that is the first form of persecution and again just because it's not a violence or death just because it's not a more severe form of persecution does not mean that it's not a legitimate form of persecution let me just say this and this may upset some people but that's okay we need to attack some religious thinking here i don't attack people i address problems in thinking and so sometimes people say things like that well you know you shouldn't complain people people suffer on the other side of the world in much more severe ways and really that's a powerless religious superstitious virtue signaling ideology and really what what it is ultimately is its spiritual pride it's this idea that that we should criticize those who are maybe a little hurt or maybe struggling with persecution in the form of insults look just because someone else has it worse doesn't mean that you don't have it bad so it's okay to acknowledge insults as a form of persecution those who are spiritually prideful might say well you haven't suffered as much as me that's not truly persecution but the scripture is quite clear that you can be insulted and that still count as a form of persecution now watch this now let me know in the comments actually if you're watching live or on replay let me know if you've experienced this form of persecution whether in your family among your friends at work in school and so forth number two is rejection now this one is a little more severe because people who insult you don't always necessarily reject you they may mock you they may even somewhat joke about you right there in front of you and behind your back but another form of persecution is outright rejection and in fact many of you are living under this many of you aren't even allowed at your family gatherings because you love Jesus many of you are afraid to even fly back and go home because of your faith in Jesus many of you have been disowned by parents and siblings and aunts and uncles because you love Jesus I for example have an uncle who I love dearly and I remember great childhood memories oh my goodness we had great times together and he's labeled me as a a fraud as a hypocrite as I mean he's he's just very much against what I do for the Lord now that of course hurts but I recognize that that rejection comes not because of anything that I'm doing that's wrong it's rejection that comes because I'm following the way of Jesus and perhaps you too are experiencing something like this maybe you have a parent who won't talk to you maybe you have a child who won't talk to you but it's outright rejection Luke 10 16 says this then he said to the disciples anyone who accepts your message is also accepting me anyone who rejects you is rejecting me what comfort in those words of the Lord Jesus anyone who rejects you is rejecting me and anyone who rejects me is rejecting God who sent me so when people reject you for righteousness sake and let me be clear I have to say this again because many times people get this confused I'm not saying that if you're a Christian and you're rejected that you're being rejected on behalf of Christ no because sometimes we do things that are deserving of rejection sometimes we behave in ways that are not very Christ like but if you're being rejected because of your faith in Christ you're being rejected because of your love for God well then there's reward for you because you're embracing him despite others rejecting you they don't want you let me just be honest with you they don't want you to have influence in society people don't want Christians to have influence in the school systems in the workplaces in culture they don't want us to have the say they don't want us to have any influence why because they don't like the truth in John 3 the scripture tells us very clearly that they reject the light simply because they love the darkness now you may be saying I'm really discouraged because I'm rejected I'm really discouraged because I'm not allowed around anywhere I'm really discouraged because people don't want me to be where they are simply because I love Jesus but I want you to think about this you may in fact be the only one in your family who loves the Lord the way you love him now I have been blessed to come from a spiritual heritage I'm a fourth generation Christian third generation preacher now this doesn't mean that I don't have family members who dislike me I have several family members who will have nothing to do with me they absolutely do not like me and you know they're ashamed of what it is that I do as an evangelist but if I look at my spiritual heritage I see I had you know great great grandparents who eventually had children who came to the cross and they were saved and it affected generations positively my grandpa's a pastor my dad's a pastor I'm an evangelist my brother's a pastor my brother-in-law is in ministry my sister's in ministry right I have family in ministry now you may look at my life or the lives of people like me and you may say I wish I had that I'm really really discouraged in not having that generational blessing I'm really discouraged because I wish I had praying grandparents I wish I had saved parents I wish I had a family system that supported my faith I wish I wish I wish that I was blessed with spiritual heritage let me encourage you with this you may not have a spiritual heritage yet you may be the first in your generations to follow Jesus and that may be discouraging that may be difficult but I want you to be encouraged in knowing this even though you may not have a spiritual heritage yet you can be the one who establishes that faith for generations to come you can be the one who breaks that line you can be the one who breaks the power of the enemy you can be the one to stake take a stand for your family name and say from this day forward we will serve the Lord that can be you John 15 19 through 20 says this the world would love you as one of its own if you belong to it but you are no longer part of the world I chose you to come out of the world so it hates you do you remember what I told you a slave is not greater than the master since they persecuted me naturally they will persecute you and if they had listened to me they would listen to you so if they persecuted Jesus think about the fact that Jesus is perfect we're talking sinless perfection he lived a life flawlessly he never once disobeyed God he never once committed an act of sin even had a sinful thought he walked in absolute perfection and they crucified him so the more godly you become the more like Jesus you become the more that persecution begins to intensify on you people come against you because you walk closer to that light and that light irritates the darkness in their spiritual eyes so number one is insults number two is rejection this is something that many of us face so these are the first and I would actually say I think it's safe to say that there are varying degrees of persecution and I would put insults on the lower end of the spectrum this is not to say that it doesn't count this is not to say that it doesn't hurt but I would say that insult that's probably the first layer of persecution now we here in the united states I don't know what the situation is in every country in the world but we here in the united states you know there was a there was a we used to be a christian nation despite what people might say that's just a historical fact we were a christian nation and so there was a time and a day when christ was celebrated when his teachings were the center of our culture but now we've kind of shifted from that and so what's begun to happen now is we've moved from being insulted to being rejected and now we're moving into number three especially you here in the united states pay very close attention it's gone from insults first they started to criticize the bride of christ in tvs and movies on radio and magazines and culture it became in vogue to criticize christians and to label them as you know these these hate filled people so that's number one we went from insults and now we shifted to rejection where they're being they're pushing us from society they don't want us to have to do with anything outside society they want us completely out so insults then rejection and number three this is what we're moving into is oppression this is where they limit your movement with imprisonment they limit your speech with censorship and they limit your gathering with government control does this sound familiar to you they limit your movement with imprisonment they limit your speech with censorship and they limit gathering with government control now you may say well that's not happening because you know my church they they they're actually partnered with the systems of this world look if your church is not being persecuted if your ministry is not being persecuted you have to begin to do some evaluation to look at what you're preaching because in this culture when you preach the gospel and you shine that light you are going to cause major irritation and offense it's impossible to not do that especially in today's climate cultural climate now this is not to say that we should set out for the purpose of offending nor is it our goal to make anyone upset the goal is to communicate the truth and if that upsets or offends people while we're doing that then so be it but in this climate in this cultural climate in this nation and in several nations of the world when you preach the true gospel it stirs something in people there's a spiritual agitation that begins to take place and that's precisely because they don't want to hear the truth because they love deception they don't want to see the light because they love darkness and we're going to begin to see more and more of this look i don't want to sound like an alarmist you know me i'm not i can i call them conspiracy christians with their spiritual tinfoil hats i don't think everything's a demon i don't think everything's a curse i take a very biblically balanced approach to spirituality i love the holy spirit his power and so forth but let me just tell you straight up we are going to begin to see people imprisoned here in the united states for what they say that day is coming and it's coming quickly in fact there are already some hints of it happening happening now i've heard some stories i you know there's two sides to many stories so it's not quite that blatant yet but indeed it is now here it is happening and it is happening even in subtle ways there will be a day and it's coming very soon hear me now please there will be a day and it's coming soon and i pray that things change i pray that we see revival i pray that that we begin to influence the culture in such a way that there's a shift and i believe that that can happen but if things continue down this road and i'm not prophesying i'm just making an analysis of the trajectory of society if you look at the way things are going now i'm predicting that we will begin to see pastors imprisoned here in the united states not for doing something but for simply speaking something that they will say should not be said under the label of hate speech they will try to control the preaching of the truth and we need to be ready for it people will be imprisoned for preaching the gospel not only that you're going to see a stronger censorship come on the even this i don't even know how much longer we can use these social media platforms i mean i love that we can use them i'm all for it i think i want to use them for as long as possible but there may come a day again i don't want to sound like an alarmist but there may come a day where they're going to begin to kick christians off the platform there i think is coming a day even sooner than we think where we won't be able to pray for the sick on live streams we won't be able to pray for the sick on camera or in videos because that will be considered we're labeled as practicing medicine and they'll take the medical route am i prophesying this no but i'm beginning to see trends i'm beginning to see things form and this is a form of persecution it is oppression they are trying to limit your gathering they're gatherings with government control we saw a little bit of this during the lockdowns and you may say brother david are you getting political well to some degree you can't separate the politics from persecution because it's always going to be a system in the world that brings forth that persecution now it just so happens to be that in this day and age in this generation that the governments are the ones doing the persecuting and that's how it's been typically throughout history so while this isn't a political observation this is a spiritual one there are still some political factors at play you think that we saw something during the lockdowns that was a test run again you may say david i think that now you're getting into conspiracy theories i'm just telling you like i see it and we're praying against it we're praying that the gospel continues to go forward but we will see an increase in this type of oppression and i believe there can be revival but if things continue down the way that they're going we will see that use of power to come against the church use of oppression we see an example of this in acts chapter five verses 17 through 29 the high priest and his officials who were Sadducees were filled with jealousy they arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail but an angel of the lord came at night opened the gates of the jail and brought them out then he told them go to the temple and give the people this message of life so now they were imprisoned for this so at daybreak the apostles entered the temple as they were told and immediately began teaching i love this when the high priest and the officials arrived they were convened the they convened the high council the full assembly of the elders of israel then they sent for the apostles to be brought from jail for trial so they fully expect them to still be in their cell but when the temple guards went to the jail the men were gone so they returned to the council and reported the jail was securely locked with guards standing outside but when we opened the gates no one was there when the captain of the temple guard and the leading priests heard this they were perplexed wondering where where would all end they're basically getting frustrated now they're saying wait a minute when is this gonna stop okay we we they're causing trouble by preaching we put them in jail we leave them in there and now we come to convene and we want to talk to these guys and suddenly they're not there when will this all end verse 25 then someone arrived with startling news i love this i wish i could see the look on their faces when they heard this so here here here these high priest and officials um this high priest and his officials have have have locked these ministers of the gospels in jail and now they're convening and they're saying bring us bring us those those rebellious men bring them here the guards go to get them from the jail and they say hey they're gone i wish i could have seen their faces when that happens so verse 25 then someone arrived with startling news the men you put in jail are standing in the temple teaching the people doing the very thing that you locked them up for the captain went with his temple guards and arrested the apostles but without violence for they were afraid the people would stone them then they brought the apostles before the high council where the high priest confronted them we gave you strict orders never again to teach in this man's name he said instead you have filled all Jerusalem with your teaching about him and you want to make us responsible for his death but peter and the apostles replied we must obey god rather than any human authority listen here the moment that what people tell you to do even those in authority the moment what they tell you to do directly contradicts the clear teachings of scripture you have to say we must obey god rather than any human authority so that's how we respond to that oppression now this isn't quite violence yet and you notice here even in the text that we read that they arrested these men without violence so we have insults this is where they speak against you or behind your back rejection this is where they begin to push you out of family gatherings they push you out of society they push you out of places of influence then there's oppression this is more on the offensive now where they're limiting movement with imprisonment limiting speech with censorship and limiting gathering with government controls now number four this is when things get really bad and i say bad i mean i understand that on this side of eternity it looks really bad but from the perspective of heaven it's it's an opportunity to really really have our faith tested number four is violence now i don't know if this will happen in our lifetime here in this nation it's definitely happening in many parts of the world i mean i could name country after country here where there there's there's such violence that people have to have their services underground and they have to have their bible studies underground and and this is actually happening look persecution and and martyrdom that's not something that just happened in the early church age guys this is happening right here right now people are being martyred for their faith today people are being persecuted for preaching the gospel today people are being beaten violently so today because of the name of jesus our brothers and sisters are standing against persecution in many parts of the world this is why we have to pray for the persecuted church this is why we have to lift them up and ask that god would give them strength i heard something quite convicting i don't remember exactly what nation they were from but someone who had endured great persecution had commented that well we appreciate the prayers of you praying for us we actually pray for you because sometimes and sadly this is the truth when there is no persecution it's very difficult to see who's truly committed to christ so insults that's the first i should say level of intensity of persecution and many of you are experiencing insults and that that is a test of faith and there's rejection that is a test of faith oppression that is a test of faith and then we see violence look at this example here very very very famous portion of scripture acts chapter seven i'm going to read verses 54 through 60 watch this now act seven when they heard these things they were cut to the heart and they gnashed at him with their teeth but he being full of the holy spirit gazed into heaven and saw the glory of god and jesus standing at the right hand of god and said look i see the heavens open and the son of man standing at the right hand of god think about this then they cried out with the loud voice stopped their ears and ran at him with one accord and the feet of the young man at and excuse me i skipped the portion verse 58 and they cast him out of the city and stoned him and the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named saul we talked about this on the stream i did on the life of saul who is paul the apostle and they stoned steven as he was calling on god and saying lord jesus receive my spirit then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice lord do not charge them with this sin and when he had said this he fell asleep steven the martyr preached the truth he spoke words that pierced the hearts of the religious leaders he spoke words that deeply convicted the listeners he didn't hold back he was too filled with boldness compassion and god's love to hold back and he declares these words and those listening to him were so deeply convicted so deeply troubled by the truths that he spoke that they placed their hands over their ears began to cry and scream and began to stone him and in the middle of him being stoned in the middle of him being persecuted cries out lord jesus receive my spirit he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice lord do not charge them with this sin what a privilege it would be to be tested in this way i'd like to think i'd say i'd like to think that this is how i would respond i often asked the lord i said lord if i'm ever in the situation give me the privilege to endure persecution in a way that would bring you glory i'd like to think i would respond this way i'd like to think i would be able to have such boldness and faith and one of the things that we should note here is found in verse 56 look i see the heavens open and the son of man standing at the right hand of god you realize that in the other references to jesus being at the right hand of god we see him seated at the right hand of god and here we see jesus standing at the right hand of god why was jesus standing perhaps he was standing out of compassion as a parent would rise as their child falls and scrapes their knee perhaps jesus stood to look upon his child in pain maybe it was the lord honoring his servant by standing perhaps he was standing to welcome him whatever the reason this is certainly a unique description of that heavenly place the right hand of god fellow believers around the world are beaten they're tortured they're killed paul was beheaded peter was crucified upside down because by the way he said he was not worthy he was not worthy he says he says he was not worthy to die in the exact same way as jesus died so he said crucify me upside down historically it's believed that andrew was also crucified thomas was killed by spears that matthew was stabbed to death in ethiopia it's believed that james was stoned and clubbed to death james was stoned and clubbed death simon the zealot as is consistent with his character was killed after refusing to make a sacrifice to an idol i could just picture that john the revelator the author of the book of revelation was boiled in oil and survived maybe maybe have the same faith i you know paul said i pray you're just like me except for these chains so we should never pray persecution on fellow believers but if it just so happens to be their circumstance we ought to pray for strength and even if we never face this kind of violence we should pray for that kind of faith even if we never face this level of persecution we ought to pray we ought to pray that we have this same devotion that same love for the lord jesus same passion for his name to be able to cry out jesus is lord even when people are telling you to not even speak his name lest they kill you lord give us the privilege to have that kind of faith give us the privilege to know the fellowship of your sufferings now i've heard people manipulatively use our fellow suffering brothers and sisters in christ for example when people weren't allowed to gather in church i actually heard this and i i oh man i i i can tell i could tell you i could tell you if i could tell you anything i could tell you this the holy spirit was so grieved at the lack of discernment at the at the thought that they they believe themselves to be so clever as to say something so foolish i heard people actually say things like well you know people are actually being killed for their faith don't complain just because you can't gather i thought first of all that's that's manipulative that's manipulative what they were trying to do with that phrasing but i thought no shouldn't that be just the opposite that many were able to lay down their lives and they were able to pay in their blood we didn't even want to pay fines we were we were afraid of being sued they they they didn't fear being killed well people might criticize me they could criticize us they crucified them no my friend we owe it to the early church we owe it to the martyrs we owe it to our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world who are now facing violence for their faith in christ jesus we owe it to them to endure insults to endure rejection to endure oppression and obey god rather than man and if we ever find ourselves in this circumstance and i pray you don't look if i'm being honest i pray i never find myself in a situation like this i don't want that but i pray that if it was ever god's will for me that he would give me the strength to endure it in a way that glorified him first peter 414 says if you are insulted because you bear the name of christ you will be blessed watch this now watch this now for the glorious spirit of god rests upon you persecution attracts glory you think about the early church and how they walked in such power you think about the parts of the world where there's such heavy persecution it always seems that with the intensification of persecution comes the intensification of demonstration of power and when we begin to face that kind of resistance there's something about that kind of resistance that brings forth great glory now let me tell you what i think it is and i can only speculate based upon what i know about the scripture i could be wrong but this is what i speculate when i look at scriptures like this i mean think about how stevens face begin to shine when they became angry with him that glory manifested when there was resistance to what he was saying and so what i think is happening is that when we are persecuted we're sharing in the lord's suffering we're fellowshiping with him in that way the fellowship of his suffering and i think that when we endure persecution it does something to our character it tests our faith in a way it refines us like gold and it removes the fires of persecution remove impurities from the gold that is our faith and when we face that kind of resistance it does something in our character and in our nature that causes us to become so like jesus that the glory of god can rest on us we are hear me now we are never more like jesus than when we glorify god in the midst of suffering we are never more like jesus than when we glorify god in the midst of our suffering we are never more like jesus than when we love those who persecute us i want to see that glory take that as an opportunity when men revile you and reject you and seek to oppress you and seek to physically harm you take it as the opportunity to fellowship with his suffering to know him in that way i really do sense a strong anointing right now and i want to pray with you i want to ask the lord to give you strength i want to ask the lord to give you strength under persecution and i want to ask him to cause you to rejoice knowing that no matter what level of persecution you're facing that there's great reward for that so here's what i want you to do in the comment section right now whether you're watching live on replay write these two simple words strengthen me let that be your prayer to the lord strengthen me god give us the privilege of glorifying you even when everything is falling apart father i thank you you that you're touching your people with power from on high and lord i pray that we would glorify you in the midst of suffering cause us to be strengthened by the might of your spirit cause us to be so focused on eternity that no matter what we face on this earth we would remain encouraged we thank you lord for that resurrection life which flows through us we thank you for that power that rests on us and now we pray lord give us the privilege of the fallowship of your suffering thank you for the privilege of persecution however we're facing it thank you for the opportunity to glorify you may we stand strong in this hour in the mighty name of jesus we pray and i want you to say it because you believe it say amen now listen to me just because the world is getting darker doesn't mean that the gospel doesn't shine bright the gospel still has power the gospel is an everlasting light and it shines bright even in dark times especially in dark times so let's be rid of this defeated mentality this victim mindset that says lord i don't want to suffer get me out of here and look as i said it's not my prayer that you should suffer but it is my prayer that if if you should suffer
