Inspiring Verse
Today I was listening to one of my pastor's at my church and she had such an inspiring and uplifting verse that she talked about. The verse was Hebrews 13:5b "..I will never leave you, nor forsake you." This reminded me that God will always be with us no matter what we are going through. He knows the trials and tribulations we go through because Jesus went through even worse when he was on the cross. Our brothers and sisters in Christ who are being persecuted all over the world need the reminder that God will never leave them and will be with them forever. Not only do they need the reminder but so does the rest of the world when we are going through hardships.
50plus(ONE) challenges everyone who reads this to pray for the persecuted people in other nations that they will feel God around them every moment of their lives and for them not to give up on what He wants them to be doing, which is spreading and sharing His great Love and Word.

4th of July
As we celebrated the birth of our Nation (the United States of America) this past weekend, I was in constant awe of how amazing and blessed we are as a country. We sometimes forget how lucky we are to be able to pray, worship, and go to church whenever we want to. We can say the name of the Lord without being afraid of going to jail. People in other nations don't get the same opportunities we have here.
Next time you pray, say God's name, worship, or go to church remember to pray for the people in persecuted nations around the world. Not only do they need our help but they also need our prayers and thoughts.
“You’re blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution drives you even deeper into God’s kingdom.” Matthew 5:10 (MSG)

Persecution In Our Communities: Update #1
Persecution. When people hear this word the only thing they think of is international persecution. In places and coutnries such as, China, Egypt, Middle East, that literally throw people in prison for believing in Christ. The truth is that persecution not only occurs in countries arund the world but also in our own communities. It never occurs to most people that they are persecuted, but in a sermon I heard from my pastor this past week, I relized it happens. When people put you down or think less of you because you believe in God, God tells us that it is not our fight to fight, but His. He will win the fight for us if we let him fight for us.
Psalm 9:13 "O LORD, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death."
Next time you hear, see, or are involved with persecution in your community and life, remember that God is with you and that He will fight your battles only if you ask Him to. Have a blessed week, and check back next week for another Persecuted Profile or Update
