This is a tough taking, but the time is coming where we must move away from the wimpish, cowardly sugar-coated idea of Christianity. The believer will need to be tough and rugged for the times ahead.
Why? Because you are dead. Colossians 3:3 says,
“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”
This death should not only be in the spirit, but you must be ready to live it out in your soul and in your body. WHAT MORE CAN ANYONE DO TO A DEAD MAN/WOMAN? Nothing. You don’t feel abuse, insults don’t hurt you, you are not offended by rejection. Persecutions, Trials and Afflictions don’t stop you. There is no fear of imprisonment or even death. why? BECAUSE YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD. Hallelujah!
