The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. Do not think it odd that you are experiencing persecution of some kind because of Me. They persecuted Me, so they will persecute you, for you are sharing the message of Love that is from Me. There are many that are seeing your love in action and it is causing them to want to know from where this love comes from, and their hearts are coming alive. But there are others who are consumed in darkness that recoil because of the Light you carry to them. When you bring the Light of My love into their presence, then they begin to see their own sinful nature and this brings them grief, for no one in the dark likes to see their true nature, one that they are comfortable with until it is exposed. But it is My will to expose everything in the dark, and this causes them to have complete horror. When they have been exposed, they either retreat back into the dark, or they see their wretched lives and want to lay it down to come into My light. When a soul comes to Me, it is you that I send again to help them and show them the lighted way before them.
John 15:18-27 (ESV) “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 Whoever hates me hates my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But the word that is written in their Law must be fulfilled: ‘They hated me without a cause.’ 26 “But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me. 27 And you also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.
(Matt 5:14-16; 2 Tim 3:1-9: John 3:19-21; John 8:12; Col 1:27; 2 Cor 4:6-7)
