Morning Word from Pastor Peter Sunagawa

It seems Yuuko is being persecuted because of her grandmother's baptism...😥
...The church is also experiencing negative things...😨
...Even if we haven't done anything wrong, the enemy, the devil, will surely try to obstruct us❗️.
...That's because we are following Jesus❗️.
...Revival and persecution are like a set.
When persecution comes...😨
What should we do...🤔❓️.
...Matthew 5:11-12.
..."Blessed are you when they insult you, persecute you and say all kinds of evil against you because of me (Jesus).
'Rejoice!'
Rejoice greatly!
Rejoice! Dance..."
...That's what it says❗️.

✳️When you are persecuted or insulted...anyone would feel down 😰
...
But Jesus wrote that to overcome these things... you should 'rejoice'
...
"🛐Lord...I can't rejoice...but since it's your word...thank you❗️ Hallelujah (⌒0⌒)/~~"
... Nehemiah 8:10.

"Your strength lies in your rejoicing with the Lord."
... Faith is...when you obey God...you experience the power of His word and the power of the Holy Spirit❗️.
... Trust in God and 'obey'❗️

James 4:7.

"Obey God and resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
... Today, I am praying for Yuko and everyone else 🙏.

Shalom 😃
