ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: SUPERNATURAL MATURITY, Part 9<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

July 15, 2022\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

\r\n \u00a0<\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

\r\n \u00a0<\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Whenever we think of the term, \"persecution,\" in\r\n today's vernacular, and especially among those who have an \"end\r\n times\" mindset, we tend to view it as a lead-in to \"tribulation\"\r\n -- and for some, the so-called \"Great Tribulation.\" It isn't my\r\n purpose to discuss tribulation in this week's (and next week's) Coffee Break.\r\n Rather I want us to consider what Jesus treats as a real blessing for those who\r\n are committed to Him.\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

\r\n \u00a0<\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

That sounds terribly contradictory, and even (for some)\r\n masochistic, but we need to remember that our earthly comforts are not Jesus'\r\n priority. His priority, and His objective for those who will become One with\r\n Him, is the development and maturing of their character -- and more\r\n specifically, His character in them.\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

\r\n \u00a0<\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

I can give you a guided tour of what it means to be persecuted\r\n (and I'll share a couple of stories as we deal with this topic this week, and\r\n next), and I can demonstrate to you, the long-term benefit and blessing that\r\n comes for those who suffer persecution, as well as the way in which the Kingdom\r\n of God is expanded as a direct result.\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

\r\n \u00a0<\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

That said, here's what Jesus is saying:<\/span><\/b>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Matthew 5:10-12<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Blessed\u00a0are<\/i>\u00a0they which are persecuted for\r\n righteousness\u2019 sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye,\r\n when\u00a0men<\/i>\u00a0shall revile you, and persecute\u00a0you<\/i>, and\r\n shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great\u00a0is<\/i>\u00a0your\r\n reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Once\r\n again, let\u2019s amplify this from the Greek text.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cBlessed and highly favored by the King [of Kings] are those who\r\n are harassed, molested, mistreated, or pursued after with hostile intent simply\r\n because they have been justified [by faith (in Jesus Christ and His\r\n anointing)]; royalty, and Kingdom rule shall be theirs.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Blessed and highly favored by the King [of Kings] whenever men\r\n or women will seek to defame you, to rail at you or taunt you, harassing and\r\n pursuing you with malice, saying in public or writing false and hurtful\r\n accusations about you to others, seeking to ruin your reputation because of\r\n your relationship with me [on account of Who I AM \u2014 and who you are in me.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Rejoice \u2014 exult, sing, dance, enjoy yourself \u2014 because each time\r\n you are mistreated for my sake, your reward and place at the Seat of Order in\r\n things eternal is enhanced and magnified.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Consider yourself in the same company of the prophets before you\r\n who likewise were harassed, molested, mistreated, defamed, and falsely accused\r\n because of My Word in and through them.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>(RAC Translation and\r\n Amplification)<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Sorry\r\n about that! I know that\u2019s a mouthful, but the picture that Jesus draws of those\r\n being persecuted for no other reason than the fact that they are in Him, and He\r\n is in them is a picture of Kingdom recognition and blessing. It is a picture of\r\n reward and recompense that only He can offer \u2014 and it is spectacular!<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

No\r\n one with any kind of natural reasoning would think that persecution is a\r\n blessing but most folks equate persecution with the kinds of massacres we\u2019ve\r\n seen with the various Islamic groups like ISIS or Al-Qaeda or Boko-Haram<\/span>, etc.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

More\r\n often than not, persecution is thought of in terms of the early Christians\r\n being burned at the stake, thrown to the lions, being used for target practice\r\n in the coliseums by the gladiators, etc., etc., etc.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

The\r\n massacres and the extreme abuse resulting in the murders of millions of\r\n Christians throughout the ages are the end result in many cases of persecution,\r\n but those deaths \u2014 in and of themselves \u2014 are not the persecution Jesus was\r\n referring to. Let me share an example that I saw in my childhood.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

You\u2019ll\r\n recall the story that I shared last week about my father\u2019s fishing miracle, and\r\n the provision that God made when the denominational leaders refused to back him\r\n in our move to Alaska.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

When\r\n we arrived in Nome in the fall of 1944, my parents rented a home for the first\r\n year while we waited for a steamship to arrive with building supplies to build\r\n a church. A piece of land was chosen for the building site and preparation to\r\n build got under way.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

There\r\n was just one problem. The families who lived on either side of the church\r\n property were very unhappy campers over the idea that they were going to have a\r\n Pentecostal church as a neighbor. On one side the \u201cgentleman\u201d took great\r\n delight in coming out of his house, standing on his porch and cursing us.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

On\r\n the other side, the family was Roman Catholic and while the wife and children were\r\n pleased to have us for neighbors, the husband (who was a lawyer) hated us (for\r\n reasons we never understood) with a purple passion and took every opportunity\r\n to make his feelings known.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

One\r\n of this man\u2019s sons was insane, and his behavior was as erratic as anything\r\n you\u2019ve ever seen. Everyone knew him as \u201cHanko<\/span>.\u201d There\r\n was nothing about him that was normal, although he could be friendly and\r\n playful for short periods at a time.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

One\r\n day, something that my brother said or did tripped him up and he immediately\r\n became violent. He picked up a handful of good sized rocks and began throwing\r\n them at my brother. One of them struck Howie<\/span> on the\r\n temple and knocked him unconscious.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

My\r\n father saw the event take place and reacted instantly in the same way he would\r\n have when he was a farm boy in North Dakota or Minnesota. He quickly ran and\r\n grabbed \u201cHanko<\/span>,\u201d knocked the rocks out of his hands,\r\n spun him around and gave him a good paddling on his rear end.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cHanko<\/span>\u201d ran home, crying that he had been beaten up. It was\r\n the perfect opportunity for his father to take advantage of his hatred for Dad.\r\n He immediately filed a lawsuit against Dad.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Fred\r\n L., Hanko\u2019s<\/span> father, was a close friend of the judge\r\n who heard the case. Both were Roman Catholic, both were members of the Masonic\r\n Lodge, and both felt they had solid justification to take out vengeance on Dad.\r\n The attorney who represented Dad made little effort to defend him, and when the\r\n dust settled, the judge had fined Dad $500.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

In\r\n 1948, $500 might as well have been $50,000. It might have created a scenario in\r\n which Dad could have gone to jail because of his inability to pay such an\r\n exorbitant fine, but God had foreseen the outcome and on the day that the\r\n ruling was made, a check for $500 arrived from a wealthy family in Naselle<\/span>, Washington whom Dad had led to the Lord during the\r\n years of ministry in Ilwaco<\/span>.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

The\r\n unjustness of the ruling and the hatred against my father because of who he was\r\n and what he represented in Jesus Christ really stung for awhile, but the\r\n vindication of God in the eyes of the community would become very obvious in\r\n the following year. In the days following the judge\u2019s ruling, the local\r\n newspaper made a big deal out of the fact that my father had been found guilty\r\n of assault and fined $500. Fred L. and the judge were played up as local heroes\r\n for taking Dad to task. The story was treated as a master stroke.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

The\r\n following summer, \u201cFred\u201d and the judge went boating and fishing in one of the\r\n many lakes on the Seward Peninsula, not far from Nome. When they didn\u2019t come\r\n home as expected, a search party went looking for them.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

What\r\n the search party found was an empty boat drifting on the lake with no one on\r\n board. My recollection of the event is that it was some days later that their\r\n bodies were found. Autopsies indicated that both had drowned.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

The\r\n news of the death of these two men was not lost on the community of Nome. In\r\n the weeks that followed that news, other ministers in the community\r\n strengthened their fellowship with Dad and acknowledged that God had set things\r\n right in the eyes of the people.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

The\r\n blessing of persecution is that is produces a clear delineation between those\r\n whom the Lord approves of, and those whom He does not.\u00a0 I\u2019ll illustrate\r\n this in a few minutes, but first, take a look at one of the paradigms in which\r\n we see persecution.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Matthew 10:32-42<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0<\/span>Whosoever\r\n therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father\r\n which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also\r\n deny before my Father which is in heaven.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to\r\n send peace, but a sword.\u00a0For I am come to set a man at variance against\r\n his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law\r\n against her mother in law. And a man\u2019s foes\u00a0shall be<\/i>\u00a0they of\r\n his own household.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

He that loveth<\/span> father or mother more\r\n than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth<\/span> son\r\n or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

And he that taketh<\/span> not his cross, and followeth<\/span> after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth<\/span> his life shall lose it: and he that loseth<\/span> his life for my sake shall find it. He that receiveth<\/span> you receiveth<\/span> me, and\r\n he that receiveth<\/span> me receiveth<\/span> him that sent me.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

He that receiveth<\/span> a prophet in the\r\n name of a prophet shall receive a prophet\u2019s reward; and he that receiveth<\/span> a righteous man in the name of a righteous\r\n man\u00a0 shall receive a righteous man\u2019s reward.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones\r\n a cup of cold\u00a0water<\/i>\u00a0only in the name of a disciple, verily I\r\n say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

What\r\n Jesus says here sounds almost contradictory to what we\u2019ve just considered in\r\n our last two sessions on being or becoming the means to command God\u2019s peace.\r\n The way our English translations phrase it almost sounds like He is saying that\r\n He has purposely set families against each other, and that He has come to make\r\n war, and THAT would deliberately create confrontational circumstances that\r\n would bring persecution.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

That\r\n IS true, and it\u2019s NOT true.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Let\u2019s\r\n take a minute to retranslate a portion of what Jesus is saying out of the Greek\r\n text.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Matthew 10:32-36<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0<\/span>Whoever\r\n will covenant with me and speak their agreement with My Word in the sight of\r\n all men will I acknowledge and declare to be in covenant with My Father in\r\n Heaven.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

But anyone who seeks to disavow, contradict or renounce me in\r\n the sight of men will I refuse [the covenant relationship], and disregard\r\n before My Father in Heaven.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Don\u2019t consider or begin to think that I have come to simply\r\n create global peace and compromise with all men; that\u2019s NOT my purpose; I have\r\n come to clearly delineate the war that exists between the Kingdom of God and\r\n the fleshly kingdoms of this world.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

In fact, men who covenant with me will be at odds with their\r\n non-covenant fathers, covenant daughters will find their mothers to be their\r\n adversaries, and covenanting daughters-in-law will see their mothers-in-law\r\n alienated.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Men and women in a covenant relationship with Me will find their\r\n non-covenanting family members to be their hostile adversaries (who will fight\r\n and oppose them).<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

(RAC\r\n Translation & Amplification)<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Makes\r\n things pretty clear, doesn\u2019t it? Jesus hasn\u2019t come to make war, He came to make\r\n war. Brotherrr<\/span>!! Sounds like double talk.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

What\r\n He is really saying is that war and opposition are already here if we walk and\r\n live in our covenant relationship with Him. Satan has already been defeated \u2014\r\n legally \u2014 but that doesn\u2019t mean he doesn\u2019t still wage battles against us as\r\n believers \u2014 and he certainly continues to do his snow job on unbelievers,\r\n making every effort to use them against us in every possible way!<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Next\r\n week let's take this up again and talk about the historical pictures of\r\n persecution within the Body of Christ, and the ultimate long-term blessing that\r\n came from that persecution.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

I remind those of you\r\n in need of ministry that our Healing Prayer Call takes place on Mondays at 7:00\r\n PM Eastern (4:00 PM Pacific). Once again, the number to call for healing is\r\n (805) 399-1000. Then enter the access code: 124763#.<\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

At the same time, in\r\n case you are missing out on real fellowship in an environment of Ekklesia<\/span>, our Sunday worship gatherings are available by\r\n conference call \u2013 usually at about 10:45AM Pacific. That conference number is\r\n (559) 726-1300, and the access code is 308640#. We hope to make these\r\n gatherings available by Skype or Talk Fusion before long.\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n \u00a0<\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Blessings\r\n on you!<\/b><\/span>\r\n <\/o:p>\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n
