- Jesus tells us in scripture that Christians will be persecuted, yet so often when it comes, we are taken off-guard or unsure of how to respond. So in this video, we will be taking a look at 4 steps to deal with persecution.
Aye, God is so powerful. He created all; our troubles are as nothing to Him. His Grace is sufficient to see us through, until He calls us home to Himself. Praise to our Holy Father forever. Amen.
For anyone who needs to hear it, some advice I’ve learned first hand… when getting close to God I keep 4 things at the front of my mind:
1. BE MINDFUL of God’s presence
2. BE THANKFUL for all He has done for you and for all you have
3. BE AWARE of your submitted position with God and your good standing thanks to the blood of Christ
4. BE REFLECTIVE of what you need help with and the will of God
These have personally helped me focus in on God in times of both good and bad so I hope this helps anyone who needs it
When you say getting close to God, do you mean when they figure out their biological parents? Their daddy is the voice in their head the white flash of god
@@BenW1991NE What?
@morbrakai8533 so Christians basically believe they're special because in their holy book the Bible. It says that they are a metaphor for jesus and the person who created them who created the galaxy who created the universe is the person who basically had sex with their mom. Christians try to act like this makes them special and unique when in truth. It's the same in all religions, How the main character of every religion is the reader of their book. All religions are the same, but the Christians pretend to be special by denying all other religions calling non christians mentally sick. The way I was taught is all hindus budists Muslims witch's, shamans are all schizophrenic for not believing in the one faith the only faith so they can be drugged for their delusion on not being a Christian. Like how we used to fill mental asylums with non christias part of mass discrimination, or how Christians burned non-Christians, or lonotmized non Christians, or hung "educated" people who could disprove the Bible by pointing out the Existence of non christian religion literally disproves christianity.
I remember in my young adults Bible Study, we learned this very issue of persecution and after watching this made me think, "I'm so glad I'm not in a country like Saudi Arabia or Iran where Christian's are being beheaded for their faith." It's not just in other countries, its all around us. Even with friendships I felt persecuted because of not agreeing with the same beliefs. It's happening more now than ever before of persecution with being arrested for your faith. We have to be gentle and love our enemies and our neighbors who have cursed us otherwise they won't get toward the salvation of Jesus Christ. It made me sad thinking if it would happen to me or my other brothers and sisters in Christ.
It is very difficult. When I became born again, many of my “so called friends” left me and swore I joined a cult just by talking about Jesus and being so excited to share this new found faith! What’s real hard, is when we have family members that don’t believe. My grandma doesn’t want to hear about it, she gets embarrassed; my brother is a practicing Wiccan. It breaks my heart. I did share the gospel with my grandmother though, and it’s opened her up a tiny tiny bit. I just need to realize that God will take care of the rest. My grandma is in her 80s now and I moved out to be closer to her because no one else will take care of her. I got a job as an apartment manager, but God allowed this all to happen.
@@MiLadyShayttvYeah it's hard living the Christian life. I have Autism so it makes it hard to try to connect to people with his word even though I mention it but it helps to talk about it little by little. Living the Christian life is losing friends, family, and even at my place of work. No one judges me for it but I do talk about my faith here and there. I may not understand fully but I can relate. Prayers to you 🙏. I love you.
@@isaiahvoss’m so proud of you for following that faith. I had to quit my previous job because it was forcing me to do things against my faith. I was also engaged to a man I had been with for 4 years, and God told me one day as I was casually brushing my teeth, that it had to be ended because we were unequally yoked. I literally slammed my toothbrush down and said “No!” And I cried and fought God on this for two months. I’m still heart broken three years later. I just knew I had that God knew my best interest at heart, and He saved me from something that could have been. Stay strong in your belief, and especially at work. Show them the love of Christ. I worked with a girl my age in her 30s who was completely opposite from me in all spectrums from politics to faith and more. But she loves me dearly she said and she misses me being at work. When we show the love of Christ, it is undeniable to those others. I’m sending you the biggest *bear hugs* (the good kind that cracks your back) ☺️ God loves you so much and is Christians love you too!! ☺️🙏✝️❤️
@@MiLadyShayttvSending hugs 🫂 to you too!! I'm in the process of quitting my job to a different one due to somethings I don't agree with politically and for my faith. But I'm trying to follow that faith day by day. Even just by being the light and representation of Christ impacts a person very much. I'll miss some of my co-workers but not all of them. You do you in this life!! Don't be afraid for I am with you. Don't be discouraged for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand- Isaiah 41:10
@@isaiahvoss Amen 🥰✝️🙏
I shall not be ashamed to spread the gospel. I get so nervous when I know that there is an opportunity. I get so scared of rejection and people arguing with me. I literally shut down. 😮💨
I felt rejected once at work when I talked about Jesus with the connection of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood of his faith but it didn't bother me as I would rather talk about it one on one compared to trying really hard to waste my time on that one person. Even almost my Christian friends reject me because of trying to do good or they think they're better than me. When you have the opportunity do through God's glory not yours or ours. And just relay your faith as it's a conversation not conversion. Only God can change the person not us.
@@isaiahvossChristians out of all should not be ashamed. I can definitely spot the ones who say they are Christian and believe in Jesus, but in their heart, they have never fully surrendered and obeyed. It shows from no fruit growing.
@@MiLadyShayttvexactly! If a Christian isn't fruit growing, they're growing in themselves not with the lord by their side. I have that issue too but I'm trying my best to deal with it. No one should be ashamed at all!
Me too
I have to be honest I am ashamed and I hate myself for that
just remember: Before we were believers, we were just as bad and hurtful as the unbelievers around us. We know their point of view. So we should know how to help them.
Excuse me, are you saying that I'm bad and hurtful simply because I don't worship your God? What is the connection here?
@@vasilijrappana2335 no you dum dum he talking about sin not because you dont worship him
@@vasilijrappana2335just don't try to start an argument with this stuff,if you don't believe then don't watch the video,don't comment,and then when someone replies and you say "why are you forcing your beliefs onto me?"the truth is,no one is forcing you,have a nice day (this comment isn't meant to be offensive)
@@jacquelinejoytan1427 I am just annoyed by arrogance and hypocrisy of some believers. When I am annoyed, I want to talk.
@@vasilijrappana2335 some believers annoy me too (this is coming from a Christian)
i’m in highschool and it’s really hard to find friends who are Christian and have the same values as me. i’m having a hard time letting go of my worldly friends but i know i have to do so because they lead me back to sin and temptation (cussing, gossiping, lying, etc). i pray that they will start living for Christ. i’m putting my trust in God and His plan for me.
Once you enter college and become more knowledgeable of how the world actually works you will realize that God doesn't exist. College education has that effect on religious people. Intelligent people can understand that fantasy does not exist in the real world. Good luck in college my friend.
That isn't persecution, that is you not sharing their beliefs and you separating yourself from them over it.
💔 Heartbreaking Reality: Persecution of Christians 💔
Today, my heart aches as I reflect on the unimaginable suffering endured by our fellow Christians around the world. It is with a heavy heart that I bring attention to the ongoing persecution they face, a reality that often goes unnoticed or ignored.
In countless regions, our brothers and sisters in Christ are being targeted, discriminated against, and subjected to unspeakable acts of violence, solely because of their unwavering faith. Their lives are filled with constant fear, uncertainty, and unimaginable pain. It is a tragedy that we cannot turn a blind eye to.
The stories that emerge from these persecuted communities are nothing short of devastating. Families torn apart, churches destroyed, and lives shattered. These brave individuals, who simply seek to live out their faith and spread love, are being silenced and oppressed.
It is disheartening to witness the lack of attention and support given to these persecuted Christians. Their cries for help often fall on deaf ears, leaving them feeling abandoned and alone. As a global community, we must stand together and raise our voices against this injustice.
Let us remember that the freedom to practice our faith is a fundamental human right, one that should be protected and cherished. We must advocate for change, urging governments and organizations to take immediate action to protect the lives and rights of Christians worldwide.
Today, I invite you to join me in prayer for our persecuted brothers and sisters. Pray for their safety, strength, and resilience in the face of adversity. Pray for their oppressors, that their hearts may be touched with compassion and understanding. And let us pray for a world where religious freedom is respected and upheld for all.
Together, we can make a difference. Let us raise awareness, support organizations working tirelessly to aid persecuted Christians, and never forget those who suffer in silence. May our collective efforts bring hope, healing, and an end to the persecution of Christians.

Thank you, in Hong Kong going through this.. doing theological material on UA-cam and record some hymns, but now little discouraged..
You who are reading this, pray for Christians in Hong Kong and asian. This is especially tough for us.
But family member always judge me working full time and talking to people for gospel.
i prayed for you
God be with you.
God bless you
@@ImpactVideoMinistriesbro please pray for me and my family my friend mark doesn’t believe in god he always want to be lazy and he smokes. Fell into lust. But I tell him about Jesus but he doesn’t believe what can I do. For him. Please pray for him to. ❤🙏 little did he know that the rapture will come. 4:27 but if anyone uses bad word when we are preaching we need to say them god bless you right.
As someone who is a college student and is currently surrounded by unbelievers and has endured some persecution, this video has given me hope to continue, and has pointed my eyes not towards the situation, but to God.
How to overcome: you don't. When people mock the ambassador (that's YOU), they're mocking the Sovereign (that's GOD). As Deuteronomy 32:35 says,
Vengeance is Mine, and recompense;
Their foot shall slip in due time;
For the day of their calamity is at hand,
And the things to come hasten upon them.
Save people, not fight them.
Galatians 6:7 “God will not be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”
Frankly, the persecution has gotten so bad that I’ll be having a respectful nice argument or conversation with someone, and the second I reveal that I’m Christian, the person flips and becomes like a wolf. The way I deal with this is by remembering that no matter how much I’m hated, they all hated Jesus so much till the point of killing him, so I just remember that Jesus did everything perfectly and still was hated, so obviously an imperfect being like myself would also be hated.
I actually feel like I needed to see this so far, I've always been smh... unliked for the people surrounding me? but not persecuted at all, but now I was reborn in faith I don't really know how this will go, but with these steps and the word I feel a bit more calm about it as I just want to do God's will.
God bless you, and keep you. I wish you nothing but the best.
Thank you Father for letting me see this and you said some true stuff I needed to hear thank you for sharing and we all gonna get this through with God being on our side and being with us and God bless everyone ❤️🙏🏽
Whoever is or is not reading this message, our God loves you and the amazing Father he is, wants you in heaven. Jesus died on that painful cross for your eternal life. Thanks for this video!
God is not real.
Why not though? And I don’t mean to judge you but creation is PROOF of a creator! Paintings are proof of painters right?
@@morph-_-379 I disagree. Your examples are suppositions and assumptions. They would never hold up in a court room. (or for a rational discussion).
@@t-bonewtf okay and that’s fair but God loves you man and you can be forgiven it’s historical facts but I can’t make you believe I just wanted to try and let you know. Jesus died for you and we have all fallen short of Gods glory but we can be forgiven
@@morph-_-379 (see original reply) LOL. God is not real.
Beautiful absolutely beautiful… JESUS IS KING 👑 ❤️✝️
As a christian, I grew up in Bahrain which is a Muslim country, at school I'm pretended to be a Muslim just to blend in, I was scared to be exposed because I'm might lose friends, not being accepted & so on, so at the last day of school, where I was in Discord studying & hanging out with my best friends before the exam, & since it is the LAST day of school i told them my secret that I'm christian this whole time & they where surprised, i thought that was it I'm gonna be hated, make fun of, not being accepted etc... but they didn't care & supported/respect me no matter what am I.
it is really sad to see people including me who keeps the truth away just to blend in or hated, please respect people that are respecting you no matter what what they are.
So you turned your back on God and your faith for the sake of wanting friends. LOL. You sound like an upstanding Christian.
@@t-bonewtfhe lives in an extremely muslim country, where you could get huge consequences for being non-muslim, what else was he supposed to do?
@@ericboom1712 That's not what he said my friend. He stated he "might loose friends" and "...not be accepted.." Nice try my friend.
@@t-bonewtf we are not friends, and also do you know anything about Bahrain?
@@ericboom1712 LOL. Of course we are not friends. You're to arrogant and spiteful for me to consider a friend. I was trying to be cordial. I now realize that's impossible. Good luck.
This is definitely needed especially in the times we're facing heading into the final hours 🙏🏽
Saw someone who used to cause a lot of hurt in my life and overcame the anxiety to confront them and ended up praying with them at the end of the discussion :,) God enabled so much strength in me to love and genuinely forgive ❤️
To God be the glory for what He has blessed you to do for His name and purpose with the content you create led and guided by the Holy Spirit❤. Thank you for your obedience and that by your content I can be reassured in many things on my walk in Christ Jesus. Praise God
love your written steps and scripture
Jesus is So Amazing
Thank you so much for this amazing video! It’s exactly what I needed to hear. Let’s strive to be more like our Lord Jesus Christ in every aspect of our lives ❤
I had a disagreement with my Christian friend about if it’s okay to be gay or part of the LGBTQ. She was saying it is and people can’t help it, but I said that it is not okay and those who are part of that community are suffering with confusion and may have demons. I kept on referring to the bible and she was calling me names and saying how I remind her of a catholic. I felt mad, but I prayed to God to help with my anger and help me forgive her. Sometimes even Christians persecute others.
Thank you for the advice, keep up the good work
When they hate me I will try my best to love them better. It is so difficult and it just proves how much Jesus loves us it is beyond words
Thank you. I needed the video
Even as a believer I’ve still been persecuted (verbally and emotionally) BY Christians, in one of my most recent relationships and our entire church before (when I was a small girl).
Its happened to my parents (later divorced) and them it happened to me by a partner I just KNEW loved me…words can’t describe the grieving process (it reflected the impact it had on my parents while growing up in NY), my entire body chemistry went crazy.
It is so tough healing from it, but I’m healing regardless PRAISE YESHUA!!
I get to witness FIRSTHAND “God getting the glory anyway”.
Praise to the Lord that giveth and taketh away
Could you make a video about gratitude or being thankful to God? Thank you so much for these videos! Truly inspiring!
We as children of god must show compassion and love, amen 🙏
Amen. Praise Jesus! ✝️🙏
Thankyou,really helpful.
We need to decide in our hearts to be strong whatever,hold iur faith
Thank you so much! 💓
Thank you for this 🙏🏽
For this???? What for???😡😡😡
God bless you sir thank you glory to jesus hallelujah amen
Great video!! ✝✝✝
I live in a totaly free-religious-choice country, but it is already persecution-like enough that whilst I study in University, and the boss says something like "It is typicaly and required for an Chemist to be an pure atheist." and I just thinking "God, pls prevent him from noticing that I'm yours, it would only make your name be looking spoiled in your eyes"
Ohh
May the Lord bless you richly ❤❤❤
Love you bro ❤❤❤❤

I'd love a video about help fighting p*rn. No matter what I do I can't win this battle against it. It's been years, I seriously need help.
I struggled with pornography for over a decade. What helps me is to immediately turn to Jesus the moment the temptation arises. We cant resist temptation; we are commanded to flee from it. Lay down your burdens and temptations at the cross and pray that God will blot them out and save you from the snare of evil. The more you do this and avoid putting yourself in situations that are likely to lead you down that path, the easier it will be to overcome it.
*Some things to avoid:*
1. Staying up late at night on your phone, especially when you're tired.
2. Contemplating or living out the fantasies in your head.
3. Avoid hanging out with the wrong crowd. They may have influence over you without you realizing it.
4. Not praying and reading the Word daily. You must strengthen your spirit as you would your body. When the spirit is malnourished, it will fail.
Hope this helps! Prayers for you!

i got the same problem and i been a christian for my whole life what i did was beileave i had it and i seeked the lord for it and you have to figure out your holy spirit gift mines is ministry of the world and i will never give up on no matter if i die the best thing to do is live the new life that christ exspects and " die daily " to your own will and the holy sprit will seem

Hi there! I just wanted to say that religious or not, you are AMAZING and loved by God a lot! In fact, he loved you SO much that he sent his son, Jesus, to die on a cross. Whoever believes in him shall have eternal life. Here is a verse:
Proverbs 22:23 - “ Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.”
YOU ARE AMAZING AND HAVE AN AMAZING DAY!!! 😎✝️❤️🙂
I have always been hated by people so much over nothing till I realized it was because I accepted Jesus Christ. So if you are a Christian and there is no persecution at all you need to check your self
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Well i'm a Christian in Indonesia. I often got verbally shamed because of my faith. When i talk back or punch them, they threaten me to the authorities. My church was destroyed by mobs when i was an infant, i have traumatic childhood. Sometime i think that is asking God to take my life is wrong because of that.
Anyone Seeing this Comment "Please Pray🙏🏻✝️for India..a Lot of newly converted Christian people are getting percecuted and harrased..churches are being burned over false accusations and even the govt is silent
I actually am here to look for help. I'm not a christian being persecuted by the christians. I've already lost my jobs and home. For not converting to the christian faith , the one faith , the only faith , the fake faith.

Today, when I tried to witness to my friends(im in the equivalent of high school), I was also verbally persecuted. They mainly made fun of the fact that Jesus hasn't returned and the stories in the Old Testament. Is there a way to respond to this?
Yeah, that isn't persecution. That is bringing up the FACT that the Bible is wrong. Given the mythical nonexistent figure Jesus claimed he would return in the lifetime of those he was speaking to. He either, 1) lied(which is a sin and that means your god sinned), 2) wasn't God and didn't know anything, or 3) didn't exist, either way your cult looks bad.
