If you are not convicted while reading this book, then plainly put, Jesus is not your first priority or possibly even your Savior.
I know I was convicted for not sharing the Gospel & not standing up for Jesus. I'm convicted for not reading & studying His word like I should and want to. Saving it in my heart. The question tho is WHAT DO I DO ABOUT IT?
WHAT DO WE ALL DO ABOUT IT?
As Christians here in America, I believe we will never know Jesus as those that are persecuted in other countries. They literally live with Him & beside Him. Reading this book, you see how those that are persecuted are happier than we are in Jesus.
Seeing how happier they are even tho they know what will happen to them makes me disgusted with myself at how easy we have it and still do nothing. God is being taken out of everything here in America and soon I guess we will be able to be happy as they are when our freedom is taken away cause we let it happen.
There's a part in the book that talks about what Satan wants & desires. He wants for the people of the world to turn away from Jesus or just not find Him at all. He is in full force in all these other countries cause believers are literally fighting for their lives & lives of others to know Him. To want Jesus & live & love Jesus. To walk & talk with Jesus.
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE IN AMERICA?
Now I know there are wonderful people here in this country. People that are so close to Jesus they're almost in Heaven with Him. But for the most of us, how many of us literally fight for our lives & lives of others for Jesus. In the book it says, "Why would satan bother with us when we are already accomplishing his goal?"
We are doing his work by doing nothing to stand up!!!!!
Are we being obedient? That's what God wants. If we are obedient His will is being done.
We sit back and let all the things Paul talks about in 1 Cor 6:9-10, happen & take over.
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous[a] will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,[b] 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
We sit back & let these sins make & change our laws that support God's word. Again, why would satan try to kill us & torture us, we aren't fighting for Jesus anyway. He's happy with us.
I know bad things are happening here. I'm not saying God is not with us and that satan is not here cause he is. But all you have to do is look at the world to see that satan is having his way.
Again these are my convictions. Things I want to change. I pray Lord you help me turn from the way I've been. I want to love & know You like those that are persecuted. I want their joy.
IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR MIND, HEART, & SOUL YOU'LL WANT TO GET THIS BOOK.
