Victor's Crown

We must remember the saints throughout the earth who are in prison, in hidden labor camps or some other hellish condition for the name of Christ. They have not abandoned the cross or denied His name to save themselves. We the body of Christ will remember to pray for you. In the end, it will be worth it all. Scriptures declare, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." (Revelation 12:11, KJV).

Beloved for those who are in countries that have safety and peace where you are able to enjoy some measure of freedom, let's not grow discouraged but be bold in these last hours. You may say but my testimony is weak, foolish and lacking so how can it do any good to those around me? Or you may say my testimony is not one that has had to endure suffering for His name or has known extreme hardships so what is there to talk about?

Never discount the inner workings of the Holy Spirit to conform us to His son - this is the testimony - we are no longer the same but being transformed, utterly made different. Your testimony matters be it in prison or a free individual because it tells the story of the Lamb of God who has overcome the world. On that day we will all stand in His presence with a testimony that could not be taken away from us.

The Lord said to the church of Smyrna, "Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor's crown." (Revelations 2:10, NLT).

Regardless to persecution, our testimony in these last days will be tested and tried. In America, persecution is on the rise and we soon may know an hour unlike any other in our history where speaking the name of Jesus will cost us much more than what we can imagine.

Hold true my beloved to His words. Our testimony declares His victory that has overcome the world!
