A while ago, I was helping wash my step dad's car and all of a sudden I heard, "You will be hated." I've also had a dream that showed me that I would be prosecuted for teaching. I get minor things said to me online, but when I start doing it to people in person, it's going to get messy. I just pray for God's Wisdom, Discernment, and Protection through it all.
I believe this is of God. He surely speaks to people today as He did in the Bible... and as He does with other people right now.
There is another interpretation. This may be a warning not to be offensive when you speak. The New Testament charges us to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. I feel led to advise you to seek the counsel of several mature Christians. They may see aspects of your personality or words that cause needless offense.
The Bible says let us suffer for the Gospel but not for wrongdoing. We will be persecuted enough when we do the right thing. Be prepared for it.
It's possible this is a lie formed by satan to scare you, but whethersatan formed it or not, in todays world i wouldn't doubt it.
Are you planning on being a missionary for the church, or minister to people around you. If you plan on being a minister, any specefic places you plan on taking your ministries?

i think the warning was of divine origin. donīt be scared though,
the glory that follows persecution is worth it ! just relax and take it as it comes, if you will walk with the lord, sooner or later people will turn away from you, oppose you, question you...
sometimes open hostility is better than the heartbreak of oposition in your own family. been through some stuff myself...
god bless you...
i gave my babyblue fender 60īs strat away 2 years ago. miss it !
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matt 5:10-12
Blessings!

Reason: *sigh* spelling.
Hi, I am praying for you. It is a great blessing to suffer for Jesus. He will help you stay strong. I want to encourage you to never give up.
Mat 10:19 When they bring you to trial, do not worry about what you are going to say or how you will say it; when the time comes, you will be given what you will say. Mat 10:20 For the words you will speak will not be yours; they will come from the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
