Topic: Challenging the Persecutors (Apostolic Revival)
Acts 9:3-4 KJV
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: [4] And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
When persecutors go unchallenged, persecution persist. That was the situation during the time of Saul, but Christ intercepted and challenged.
Christians had no right whatsoever, no one could speak for them, they had no one in the position of authority, no one could boldly identify with them, for the fear of being killed.
"Romans 8:36 KJV
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."
Our God is not a God that needs humans to fight for Him, rather He fights our cause for us.
Whatever we are facing as Christians let's have the confidence that God has all things under control. When God intervenes persecutors bow and submit.
Even the wicked persecutor can be delivered from the hands of Satan and used by God. So let pray that God challenges and encounter our persecutors.
"Remember we were also wicked and haters of God before Jesus showed us mercy"

Prayers: Oh Lord Jesus, comfort every Christian facing persecution in this world.
Challenge and encounter every persecutor oppressing the Christians.
