‭ [10] Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.- Matthew‬ ‭Some people are being silenced & stepping back because of fear of being persecuted or maybe they already have. We are called to make disciples & it's important to not let the enemy's schemes, like "fear of man" lead us into disobedience. Be encouraged because those who are persecuted on behalf of God, He calls blessed. We have an eternal reward waiting for us in Heaven. I'm using the Bible App by YouVersion.com.
