We don't trust in the White house or the State house but only in God's house. Amen.

But to vote for Killary is to vote for Homos and transgender and to kill babies. You understand that their children go to private schools and are not under federal law. How would Obama like it if men were permitted to go into His daughters locker room?

The Bible says that all who live godly will suffer persecution.

In America it is not that bad,with usually a few verbal insults for the most part,but America allows Christianity to be practiced,not only in her country,but also in the world,big time.

America seems to do the most to contribute to the coming beast kingdom,which she also gets the Bible out in the world like nobodies business,which I believe God has a dual purpose for her.

God said no government can rule unless God allows it.

I believe that God is using America to separate those that love Him,from those who do not love Him,for while America can ensnare people with all of its fleshy pleasures,it also greatly spreads the word of God,in to all the world.

For that is what the beast kingdom will do,separate all people who do not love God,from those that love God.

So some people may think America is bad for the things that they do,which they are,but they also get the word of God out there like nobodies business,which I believe God has a dual purpose for America,to do the most to contribute to the coming beast kingdom,out of all the nations,but also to get the word of God out to all the nations,without hindrance from the american government,better than all the nations,and they also have other benefits to help people,unlike other nations.

America is both foul,and kind,which I believe God has a dual purpose for her.

But lets get back to persecution.We will be persecuted,but how we deal with it is this,you deal with it,for what are we going to do.

Jesus already said that in the same household,there will be some for Christ,and some against Christ,so you know how it will be in the world.

Jesus said turn the other cheek,and do not worry about what they can do the body,but can do no more,and in the beast kingdom,the saints are instructed not to fight back,not with the sword,and not with captivity.

The thing is do not worry about it,for whatever happens,happens,and if we are persecuted,we are persecuted,who cares,suck it up like a good soldier of God.

We know we only have a limited time on this earth,and we got to go sometime,and I want to say to them,bring it,don't sing it,because it makes me mad,rip snorting mad,but like God said,be mad,but sin not.

But we have to endure,and put up with all the world has to dish out,but we know that we are the winners,so let the world do what it is going to do,and if God can be patient and not lash out at the world for them treating His people wrongly,then we should to be patient,and not worry about it,for like I say,beat me,mistreat me,cut me down,I do not care,for we are the winners,and the world one day wish they never did,what they did.

It is so different from the world,and being a saint,for in the world we did not want to take any crap,but wanted to lash out at them,if they went against us,but as a saint we have to take it,but we need to get rid of the flesh,and wanting to lash back at them,which might be hard for those trying to hold unto arrogance,for they do not like being viewed as a wimp.

I believe with some people that can be difficult,being viewed as a wimp,because you have to take it,but the saints are really the toughest on the block,but in this world they will be viewed as a wimp,but can some people take it,without retaliating,some cannot,but that is the flesh trying to prove its better,but we got to be the better person,for we are no longer fleshy,but spiritual.

Jesus is the greatest,but He put up with it,so who are we.

Some people do not like the persecution,do not want any harm to their physical body,but deal with it,it will be worse not doing God's will.

Some people do not like being regarded as a wimp,but want to fight back,but deal with it,it will be worse not doing God's will.

Everything will be alright,and if there is any boldness to retaliate,it is only permissible by the word of God,which some soldiers were sent by the Pharisees to take Jesus,but they came back without Him,and the Pharisees said,where is He,and the soldiers said no man ever spoke like that man.

But like the Bible says we can run from persecution,but there is more to it than that,for we have to not retaliate either when we are persecuted,and persecution is also a testimony to the world,when we will not deny Christ,despite their persecution.

We can run.

We cannot retaliate.

It is a testimony to the world.

But the saints are not the only people being persecuted on this earth.
 
Of course, If it happens It's going to be the next opportunity to His Children in persecution approving ourselves as the ministers of God, KJV, 2Corinthians 6;4-5, 4.But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in affictions, in necessities, in distresses, 5. In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults,in labours, in watching, in fastings;

Persecution has not YET hit the U.S., but I believe the storm is arising.
So we for the most part think little of it, and most churches treat it as a distant phenomenom (even though it concerns our brothers and sisters abroad.

But the enemy has more than one way to deny Christ than at the end of a gun barrel or a chopped off head.
Here in America the means to tempt Christians to deny Christ and worship satan is through selfish/opulent lifestyles, media indoctrination, and lust of the flesh; think...

For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. (1Jn 2:16)

These can be just as tough to deny as not denying Christ under an ISIS dull knife to the neck.
