This is what the World is coming to. Have mercy Jesus deal with your enemies and protect us. Amen Is 54;17

 

[Articles]

We hear your deep distress and stand with you in prayer for those who are facing persecution for their faith. The silencing of godly voices on social media and the sudden disappearance of fellow believers is a painful reminder of the spiritual battle raging around us. Scripture warns us that the world will hate those who follow Christ, just as it hated Him first (John 15:18-19). Yet we take comfort in knowing that our Lord sees every injustice and will one day bring perfect justice.

We rebuke the forces of darkness that seek to silence the truth of the Gospel. We declare that no weapon formed against God’s people shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment will be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). The enemy may strike, but he cannot ultimately prevail against the church of Jesus Christ. We pray for those who have been removed or blocked, may the Lord strengthen their faith, open new doors for them to share His truth, and protect them from discouragement.

We also lift up those in positions of authority who misuse their power to suppress godly speech. Father, we ask that You would either soften their hearts to receive Your truth or remove them from their influence if they persist in rebellion. Let Your light expose their deeds, and may they come to know the freedom found only in Christ.

For you and others facing these trials, we pray for endurance and boldness. May you not grow weary in doing good, even when the world pushes back (Galatians 6:9). Let this persecution refine your faith, not crush it. We ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with supernatural peace and remind you that you are never alone, Christ is with you, and so are we, His body.

We also encourage you to seek fellowship with like-minded believers who can stand with you in prayer and support. The enemy wants to isolate you, but God calls us to unity. If digital platforms are hostile, look for local churches or Christian communities where you can grow and serve together.

Finally, we declare that the gates of hell will not prevail against the church (Matthew 16:18). Though the world grows darker, the light of Christ shines brighter. We trust in His promise that those who endure to the end will be saved (Matthew 24:13). Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross (Hebrews 12:2).

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Defender. We ask for Your divine protection over every believer facing persecution, whether online, at work, or in their communities. Shield them from harm, strengthen their witness, and let Your glory be revealed through their trials. We pray for the salvation of those who oppose them, that their hearts would be turned to You. And we thank You that no matter how dark the world becomes, Your truth will prevail. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

We hear the frustration and genuine concern in what you’ve shared, watching friends vanish online after boldly sharing their faith, then finding yourself tangled in what feels like an unfair fight over basic things you’re owed. That sense of being targeted and brushed aside is hard to carry alone, and we’re sorry you’re walking through it right now.

It may help to do one small, concrete thing for each part of this. For the missing friends, if you have any other way to reach them, an old email, a mutual contact, send a brief message just to say you’re thinking of them and praying. But then, as hard as it is, try to release the outcome to God. Silence doesn’t always mean the worst; sometimes people just go quiet for reasons we can’t see yet. And for the discount that keeps getting denied, we’d encourage you to stay the course calmly: politely ask for a supervisor or put your request in writing, if you haven’t already. Don’t let the injustice steal your peace or make you bitter, that only hurts you in the end.

When the world feels stacked against us and people act with what seems like deliberate cruelty, our safety isn’t ultimately in fair treatment or even in being heard. It’s in the steady truth that Christ sees every wrong and will make all things right in His time. No bureaucratic roadblock or vanished connection can touch what He has secured for you.

Jesus, we lift up our friend right now. Please guard their heart from resentment and exhaustion. Watch over those friends who are no longer answering, keep them safe in body and soul, and if it’s Your will, restore their connection in the right season. We ask for a just resolution to this discount situation, and for wisdom to navigate it without losing hope. Most of all, wrap our friend in the calm of knowing their real defender never sleeps. In Your name, Amen.

The malice that would silence a godly message is but the wave that speeds the church along. We have a far richer theme for music than Deborah ever knew, for we have been delivered from worse enemies and saved by a greater salvation. Let our gratitude be deeper; let our song be more jubilant. Is it any wonder that the world, in its enmity, seeks to still the tongue of testimony? One might almost sigh for a brush of persecution to wake some of us up! Just a little salt cast here and there to make some of the sore places smart! Surely we go to sleep unless the whip be now and then laid on.

You call for the Lord to deal with His enemies, but forget not His own strange way. I stayed at the brook Jabbok, and I said, “Lord, give deliverance from him whom I think bloodthirsty.” I crossed the brook full of fear and trembling, but tell it, O let it be known, I met my brother Esau, and he fell upon my neck and kissed me. God has not forsaken thee, even though thou be slandered and thy connections broken. The arrow that wounds thee may yet be the arrow of the Lord’s deliverance, shot by a hand thou didst not recognize. He makes their deliverance effectual; in every deed He brings them forth.

Consider the furnace-thought: this very persecution may be a fatherly chastisement, not a destructive punishment. The sentence of Justice has been fulfilled upon our Lord; there is nothing punitive in all our troubles for those in Him. The world’s hatred drives the Christian nearer to his God. How many prayers have been offered up as the result of persecution that would never have been offered else, heaven alone can tell! Their enemies try to deal wisely with them to put them down, but their wisdom is folly; God has blessed the church by her persecution.

Rest thy soul upon Him. Deliverance from the power of sin and from the affliction of the hour is as much the work of God as deliverance from guilt. He brought Israel forth with silver and gold, and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. So shall He do for thee. Thy cry for mercy is not unheard. The clock of mercy struck in Heaven the hour and moment of thy deliverance, for the time had come! Thus had the eternal purpose of Jehovah decreed it. Sinner saved by grace, do not doubt thy deliverance, God has said it: “I have found a ransom.”

Therefore, let thy conduct be marked not by fretting over the heathen’s rage, but by declaration of the Lord’s works. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. If we had no troubles, we would have less to declare. The memory of this deliverance shall not be forgotten. When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord, then shalt thou tell of His faithfulness in Zion. No weapon formed against thee shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord.

It is no strange thing that you suffer these things. The world has always hated the truth, and those who seek to speak godly messages are often silenced, just as the early Church was scattered by persecution. But remember the Scripture you have claimed: no weapon forged against you will prevail. This is not a promise that trials will vanish at once, but that God’s justice will be revealed in His time. Christ Himself sits at the right hand of the Father until His enemies are put under His feet. Why the delay? For the sake of the faithful who must yet be born and for the testing of your own soul. Patience in affliction is your greatest weapon, a patience not of a few days but enduring as under a long siege.

Yet beware what you ask of the Lord. You cry out for Jesus to deal with His enemies, but have you considered how He deals with them? He dined with publicans and sinners, He prayed for those who nailed Him to the cross, He wept over Jerusalem. Do you not remember Joseph, who when his brothers lay at his mercy did not take revenge but wept, saying, “I weep that they ever treated me thus”? Shall we, who have received such mercy, ask for anything less for those who wrong us? The apostle Paul, though stoned and scourged, would have chosen to be cut off from Christ for the sake of his persecutors. What excuse will we offer if we cannot show even a fraction of that love toward those who block us on a screen or deny a discount?

Let this dawn on you: the loss of your friends on these platforms and the silence that meets your messages is not defeat but the wrestling school of heaven. Champions do not become strong without an antagonist; the sack of sand must be struck daily before the contest. Your faith is being tried, that it might be found genuine. Do not fret over the corrupt and the heathen as if they held power you lack. Their control is as fleeting as the mist, and the discounts they withhold are dust. What is a price cut on earthly goods compared to the inheritance laid up for you? To become bitter over such a loss is to forget that we entered the world with nothing and will leave it with nothing. If you have suffered a small injustice in business, commit it to God, who judges righteously, but do not let your prayers become a curse. It is better to be wronged than to let anger fester.

Continue to plant your godly messages, even if the soil seems barren. God may permit these hindrances not to defeat you but to drive you deeper into His mercy. The righteous have always been prey, yet in their patience they possess their souls. The enemies you see arrayed against you will one day be silenced, not by your hand but by His. Until then, let your heart be filled with pity for the persecutors, not vengeance. They are treasuring up wrath for themselves unless they repent, and what soul, seeing that, would not weep? Stand fast, forgive, and trust in the Lord. No weapon formed against you shall prosper; this is your shield.
