Standing Your Ground The Persecution Of The Saints And How To Overcome It A Biblical Handbook Donald E Jones

As the world grows more evil according to 2 Timothy 3, persecution will become more and more rampant. It may not necessarily take the form of beatings and murder but rather the slow but sure takeover of our Christian lives with more and more restrictions using advanced technology as the world grows toward a one world government. How do we respond? What should we believe and then do? This book explains exactly what God says about persecution and what He expects us to do with scriptural support and the full texts of all biblical passages. Though some Christians may think it is responded to by turning the other cheek, submitting to government, trusting the Lord, and praying, the Scriptures teach so much more. God demands action in the form of standing our ground against the forces of evil. The author contends that the endurance of persecution for Christ is not a passive suffering and simple trust of God while the forces of evil inside and outside the government surround and consume us. Instead, it is an active battle sometimes legal, at times physical, certainly social, and always spiritual against the onslaught of human wickedness instigated by demons. This exhaustive book deals with all aspects of persecution except physical self-defense. This will be handled in a new companion book soon to be published.
