Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me,
and I will make you become fishers of men.” Mark 1:17 NKJV


Persecution is coming in America against those of us who follow good and demonstrate God’s goodness. Notice I didn’t say persecution was coming to America? That’s because it’s coming from America against its own Christian citizens. Look at the news, social media, and entertainment. We are already being called evildoers when, in fact, we are not.

Let’s get one thing straight—the good guys are warriors! The enemy, and those under his dark influence, needs to defame Christians so he can remove our influence on the culture. Is it maddening? Yes, but this is part of the end-times program. It’s not the fun part, but it is necessary. Why? Because we need to be set apart from the world and firmly planted as the good guys.


We are close to the return of Jesus. As the time shortens, people will be deceived, and a big part of that deception, the Bible warns, is that the world will call good “evil” and evil will be called “good.”


A quick example is the popularity of the TV program “Lucifer.” Aimed at tweens, teens, and 20-somethings, the devil himself is portrayed as a handsome, charming, and downright likable guy who just wants to give being good a shot. In fact, he’s been misjudged all these eons. Evil is being swapped for good right before the masses.


As millions fall for the lie, the good guys—you, me, and all the other drop-dead sold-out Jesus freaks—become outcasts. The antagonism against good will grow exponentially—the Bible is very clear about that. Should you circle your wagons and protect yourself and your family?


No! Fight for the souls of those who persecute you. You not only need to continue doing good in Jesus’ name, step up your efforts to love people into the kingdom! The time is short. Lock and load your spiritual weapons. War is upon us!

And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. – 1 Peter 3:13


Declaration:  God is setting me up to be the good guy. I will stand firm and be prepared. He is giving me the skill set and mindset that I need to be an effective warrior used to win the lost.


From My Book: Good Overcomes Evil
