"His sovereignty is seen, not only in His compelling power, but in His continued fellowship with these men. Persecution never for a moment weakened their consciousness of Christ, or their loyalty to Him. That is always so with martyrs, with witnesses, with those in whom He dwells.
"Here is a man, loud-voiced in his profession of loyalty to Christ, [but] when persecution begins, his testimony ceases. That man never really knew Christ in his inner life. Christ was external to his life. The one thing persecution can never do for a true witness, is to blur the vision of Christ, or change the loyalty of the witness to Him." --"The Acts Of The Apostles", G. C. Morgan D.D. (1924)

[I have been lately led, directed . . . (fwiw) to these recitations, readings, I dare say--and it has been accompanied with some supernatural appurtenances verifying. . . .
THANK GOD!
In these increasingly surrealistic-ish times, there is nothing--NOTHING! so encouraging and sustaining and pertinent, as when God arrives in time, to make His Presence known, albeit in the seemingly small ways. . . .
Although, note, NOTHING is "small" or insignificant within God's ways and plan, day-to-day, moment-to-moment!
Well . . . it is, in the sense that "the least shall be first" . . . and we (Believers!) are ever noting that He came manifest as a "suffering servant".
And so, yes . . . we, as He said . . . will suffer (albeit in ultra-minutiae in comparison)...
Things are getting and being "surreal" . . . . . . . . . . .
But The Truth is The Truth.
Period. We note that LIES and LIARS and HYPOCRRITES and evil, wicked, demonically influenced and/or possessed creatures abound. . . .
Every night . . . every day.
