Believing in God and persecution.

[FullArmorofGod]

I have worked in several different industries in my life. Believing in God, I have gotten hate. It's actually alarming. I don't know how best to proceed.

I have come to a point where I realize entrepreneurship is a good idea. Unfortunately, I am not sure what to do. I am looking for a change. It's terryifing.

I recently looked at other opportunities. Nothing. I was looking at different places and moving towards a career path that's more in sync with the values I hold. Unfortunately, I have been struggling with the financial situation. I am currently testing the market and living in a minimalist way. I have kept expenses down but if I had a wife and kids, it would be scary.

I don't know what to do. I'm praying for guidance. I want change. I'm praying for help. I'm not sure which way to go. I'm just at a fork in the road.

Has anybody made a successful transition? This is soul crushing.

Oh, I hope you don’t think, things are suppose to go well with you for following Jesus and living a Godly life. “The whole world” is your enemy”! If you are a “Real child of God”!

New King James Version
Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

“”Entrepreneurship” will not deliver you! The “Devil” know who you are! I’m sorry, you have to suffer! I do not care if you take the “red” pill or the “blue” pill! You do not have a choice, all roads for you leads to “Heaven”!!! And it is going to be bumpy!

(1 Thessalonians 3: 2-4)NLT.
We sent him to strengthen you, to encourage you in your faith, 3and to keep you from being shaken by the troubles you were going through. But you know that we are destined for such troubles. 4Even while we were with you, we warned you that troubles would soon come—and they did, as you well know.

For a little encouragement, We all are going through it too! We have not made it to the other side, yet! You still have some crying to do! You still have some pieces of you heart, that have to be broken,
And concerning “persecution” it is going to be turn up a few degrees in this generation, but Jesus said: “Rejoice” your redemption draws near”.


Darby Bible Translation
Beloved, take not as strange the fire of persecution which has taken place amongst you for your trial, as if a strange thing was happening to you;

Beloved, take not as strange the fire of persecution which has taken place amongst you for your trial, as if a strange thing was happening to you;

I've watched family pass. I've seen friends go. I am suffering. It's been tough man. I'm trying to see a way forward but the burden is too great. I keep praying for help. I realize that I can't make it without God's help.

This life has been chaotic. I understand suicide. I get why. If I was weaker mentally, I would not be here right now.

I keep enduring. But I don't know how to make for a better life. A monk friend warned me that, as my spirit rises, the more tempted I will be. It's how things are going. The more I pray, I got to church, I meditate on psalms, and surrender to God, the harder I am challenged.

Pray for me brother. I wouldn't wish that fate on my worst enemy.

Believe me, I do understand!!
I have been on this journey for over 40 years, I was 26 years old, when the Holy Spirit came upon me. And that is when my troubles began. I have the scars and wounds on my heart my mind, my spirit, and I do believe my soul. God is my witness.. I am not saying this from something I read, I am saying this, because of the things I been through! I do not have I feel good story for you. Or a great story of God opening “The Red Sea”! But many of stories of how He walked with me, through the valley’s , the storms, the shipwrecks, the floods that came over my head and somehow I didn’t drown. When the hounds of hell, seemed like, they had grip my very soul with the “claw” of death and there was no help and the days were long and the nights were short. I could not even pray, but “Lord have mercy”, no one seemed to care nor understood, what was happening to me, but GOD who was drawing me closer to Him, that I might know Him and understand what He has to do to me, to shape me into the image of HIS SON! He will strip us of everything of every thought until there is nothing left but HIM! He describes this process in certain places in the “Psalms, Ecclesiastes, Lamentations”! And “The Epistles “ in the NT.
And the Old Testament “Prophets” who wish that they would die! God has no plan of success for us in a world He is going to Destroy. HE has something better, far better, than eyes have ever seen, He will bring us through the furnace of life! Because He is the Potter and we are the clay, He shapes us into what He want us to be and we not ourselves. “I will pray for you my brother”. Because I also has said: “I wish this not even upon my worse enemy”! He will bring you through, He promised that He would, He went away to prepare a place for us, and He said: He would return and receive us into Himself. Jesus Wrath is coming upon this World! He said so.
