Oppression. Part-One.

We have the Power!

If you are a born-again or converted believer, you will have the Power of the Holy Spirit inside you. The world cannot have this power that god has given to us, this power is a passion that burns within us to keep doing the right things, to be honest and fare to all.

This power helps us to forgive those who give us a hard time, persecute and think they can oppress us? This Spirit of God is our friend, when we have failed and are weak, he comes to us and points the way back to Jesus again.

Romans 5:1-6, Psalm 22:4-5.

Stephen...

The first Christian Martyr.

Stephen was not killed by religious men, he was killed by Liberals. Today we might call them ''do gooders, the ones who fight for our rights.'

Stephen was not killed because he had faith in God, he was killed because he spoke the truth.

Even good people do not like to hear the truth, because the truth is they are doing things in their own strength and for their reputation.

We all have something to hide, maybe we are really timid and weak. We pretend to be tough, to stay in the pack.

But you cannot go on as you are, that is why Jesus came to set us free from the darkness that we are comfortable and ignorant in!

Acts 6:5-8:3,  John 3:20-21,  8;12,  2 Timothy 1:7,  Revelation 21:8.
