difficult days ahead

But because of the false brothers brought in quietly, who sneaked in to spy upon our freedom which we have in union with Christ Jesus, that they might completely enslave us— to these we did not yield by way of submission, no, not for an hour, in order that the truth of the good news might continue with YOU. - Galatians 2:2-5

. . .

“Happy are YOU when people reproach YOU and persecute YOU and lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against YOU for my sake. Rejoice and leap for joy, since YOUR reward is great in the heavens; for in that way they persecuted the prophets prior to YOU - Matthew 5:11,12

. . .

“Obstinate men and uncircumcised in hearts and ears, YOU are always resisting the holy spirit; as YOUR forefathers did, so YOU do. Which one of the prophets did YOUR forefathers not persecute? Yes, they killed those who made announcement in advance concerning the coming of the righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers YOU have now become, YOU who received the Law as transmitted by angels but have not kept it.” - Acts 7:51-53


. . .

“But before all these things people will lay their hands upon YOU and persecute YOU, delivering YOU up to the synagogues and prisons, YOU being haled before kings and governors for the sake of my name. It will turn out to YOU for a witness. Therefore settle it in YOUR hearts not to rehearse beforehand how to make YOUR defense, for I will give YOU a mouth and wisdom, which all YOUR opposers together will not be able to resist or dispute" - Luke 21:12-15

. . .

Because if they do these things when the tree is moist, what will occur when it is withered?” - Luke 23:31

. . .

Hence Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered outside the gate. Let us, then, go forth to him outside the camp, bearing the reproach he bore, for we do not have here a city that continues, but we are earnestly seeking the one to come. - Hebrews 13:12-14

Galations 5:10 I am confident about YOU who are in union with the Lord that YOU will not come to think otherwise; but the one who is causing YOU trouble will bear his judgment, no matter who he may be.

Matt 12:7 However, if YOU had understood what this means, 'I want mercy, and not sacrifice,' YOU would not have condemned the guiltless ones.

Luke 6:37 Moreover, stop judging, and YOU will by no means be judged; and stop condemning, and YOU will by no means be condemned. Keep on releasing and YOU will be released.

Romans 14:10, 13 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you also look down on your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God. 13Therefore, let us not be judging one another any longer, but rather make this YOUR decision, not to put before a brother a stumbling block or a cause for tripping.

1 Cor 16:14 Let all affairs take place with love.

Matth 15: 9 It is in vain that they keep worshipping me, because they teach commands of men as doctines.

Matt 10:26-28 Therefore do not fear them; for there is nothing covered over that will not become uncovered, and secret that will not become known. What I tell YOU in the darkness, say in the light; and what YOU hear whispered, preach from the housetops. And do not become fearful of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather be in fear of him that can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

Acts 5:29 In answer Peter and the apostles said: "We must obey God as ruler rather than men."

Love,
Rebekah
