DON’T WORRY ABOUT WHAT TO SAY
Matthew 10:19-20 When they
arrest you do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you
will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of
your Father speaking through you.
Mark 13:11 Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do
not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the
time, for it is not you speaking but the Holy Spirit.
Luke 12:11-12 When you are
brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you
will defend yourselves or what you will say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you
at that time what you should say.
Luke 21:14 Make up your mind not to worry before hand how you
will defend yourselves.
DON’T WORRY ABOUT WHAT TO SAY
Father,
The times have become
so unChristian or anti-Christian that whether we’re arrested or just in an unfriendly
atmosphere we need to discern what to say and how to say it to present the
Truth. Help us learn to lean on you, trust you, discern your ways and walk in
them so we will be prepared for such a time. We want to be open enough and in
tune enough for the Holy Spirit to speak through us in helping and reaching
others for you, whatever the situation.
FLEE PERSECUTION
Matt. 10:23 When you are
persecuted in one place, flee to another.
FLEE PERSECUTION
Father,
I’m glad you have
this instruction to flee persecution! This would no doubt be my first
inclination. The disciples dispersed to all parts of the known world due in part to persecution - and the result was the spread of the Gospel. We pray for the many Christians around
the world who suffer persecution and even imprisonment for their faith. Help
them be strong in the faith. Guide, guard and protect them – and use them
mightily.
Lord, I just received a mailing from Voice of the Martyrs with stories of persecution of Christians
especially now in Syria. The persecution is from both sides in the conflict.
Some Christians are staying there in spite of the danger because they believe You want them
to be your witnesses there. What courage and dedication they have. We pray for the Christians in Syria. Bless, guide and
protect them. May they inspire boldness in others including us. In Jesus name, Amen
