Dear John,
This (your new post)
is the most powerful and amazing thing I have ever seen here and that is saying
a lot!
(Also, when I just now
copied and pasted the following verses here, I did nothing to cause the 5th
verse to become larger than the other verses, but it pasted in that way of its
own. Did my computer do that or was it going to do that because of something in
the formatting of where it came from or did the Holy Spirit do that?)
2Thes
1:
4 So that we ourselves
glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your
persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
He comforts them in
their persecution, telling them of God's righteous judgment on their
enemies
5 Which is a
manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy
of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
6 Seeing it is a
righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
7 And to you who are
troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with
his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking
vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord
Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished
with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory
of his power;
10 When he shall come to
be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because
our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
He prays that they may
be found worthy of Christ's name
11 Wherefore also we pray
always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and
fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with
power:
12 That the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace
of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Anyway, I have not
spoken of this much on this sight but I have been the recipient of the kind of
persecution described in these verses, at various times, for most of my walk as
a disciple of Jesus Christ, since the early 80's, and most recently have
experienced it right here. I received tremendous condemnation from someone for
my sharing with him and on the Doves of things that I have learned.
What this shows me is
that this persecution and my patience
and faith in all my persecutions and tribulations that I
endure: is part of the
manifest token of the righteous judgment
of God, that I may be
counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which I
also suffer...
How
exciting!
