Christian facing persecution in the U.S.A.

[Genstt]

Hello. I am a Christian man facing persecution in the U.S.A.
It is similar to what I have read is happening to the Palestinians, though I am in a completely different part of the world.

I am trying to figure out exactly why this is happening and the best course of action to take.

Praise Jesus Christ for allowing us to suffer with Him that we may also be glorified with Him! For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. For unto us it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.(Acts 5:41, Romans 8:16-18, 1 Peter 3:13-14, 1 Peter 4:16, 1 Peter 5:10, Matthew 10:39, 2 Corinthians 4:11, 2 Corinthians 12:10, Philippians 1:29)

2 Tim 3:12 "Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution"

Is it persecution inside your family or at work? If it is at work there are resources that can help.

I have suffered persecution, too, in various ways in the USA. It is not uncommonly covert. I believe the only thing to do is to keep getting closer and closer to the Lord. That way you will hear from Him, with prayer, and sometimes without prayer He will warn you and guide you as to what to do.

It is true that those who follow Messiah will suffer persecution. But it is also true that prayers for protection and guidance can work wonders. This I have seen over and over in my own life.

If you were to be more specific, it would enable us to help you.

Good for you. And best wishes for success in your efforts.

This is at least the third thread you've created in order to tell us you are being persecuted, but if you continue to refuse to tell us what kind of "persecution" you are talking about, we can't help you.

As I have said in the thread in the "ask the chaplain" area, which must be the 3rd thread that you are counting. I am facing constant harassment/stalking amongst various other issues.

In the last reply, the chaplain decided to tell me I have "mental health" problems which it seems is a common cop out being used for when someone can't or won't help another.
But I find that to be more sinister than just saying outright they can't or won't help.

This is all true. And while there's not many honest people out there, I am one of them.

I pray for your situation, Genstt. God knows.

 

[Genstt]

I am continuing to seek help and trying to resolve this situation. I am not sure how long it will take for that to happen if at all.

And I will update this thread from time to time as I wait.

 

[Genstt]

An update.
I've decided to go ahead and relocate, although it hasn't helped much in the past, I can't think of anything else to try right now.

 

[Genstt]

So I just found and replied to a thread here with someone else facing persecution in the U.S.A.
I wonder if the problem is growing?

 

[Genstt]

Well more of the same here, I am continuing to face persecution, and still looking for answers.

Who is persecuting you brother, and can you separate yourself from them?

 

[Genstt]

Thought I would check in and see how everyone is fairing.
I know there's at least a few of us now that have mentioned they are facing persecution or have in the past.

Example from previous posting.....there are few threads. It really doesn't look like anything for amateur help apart from prayers. Praying.

Again to best describe my situation, i can think of a few examples that are similar to my experience. That would be: 1.the Hunger games or 2.If I was in enemy territory during a war Or say a 3. jew during the holocaust. 4. I would even say it is approaching slavery.

You said stalking etc amongst many issues as to explain why you feel persecuted.

But the issue itself requires a greater backstory. I understand not wanting to say too much to the point of giving away your real identity, but at the same time the term persecution in the context of the Christian faith has a very specific definition, and people could give you good advice if they knew that what your dealing with is actually persecution or not.

For example:

I consider the people jailed for meeting during the lockdown outside, socially distant from one another, in a church parking lot to sing praises to God - persecuted Christians.

They were jailed for following the dictates of their deeply held faith.

Those jailed for attending the ruckus on Jan. 6, are political prisoners, even if some be Christian. While they may be experiencing tribulation, they cannot be called "persecuted Christians" even if they be both persecuted and Christian.

Another example is Jack Phillips. While he is just a simple baker and small business owner, and certainly never jailed; for standing true to his personal, deeply held faith they have put that man through the wringer many times over at this point. (May God bless him greatly). He is a persecuted Christian in America.

As we can see, to say of oneself that your a persecuted Christian, you must be being persecuted precisely for your faith. In some areas, this appears more political as in Mr. Philips case but it's roots lie in staying true to the faith.

If you're being persecuted, may God be with you. In America we are now seeing the beginning of Christian persecution and how we go forward from here will determine much for many years to come.

I have no doubt that people like Philips are "stalked and harassed" if they've made some news where concerns the stance they took according to faith; there are many nefarious groups running amok these days and threatening those they disagree with instead of living out a live and let live scenario.

But we can't advice you in any way without specific details as to your situation. All we can do is pray.

Posting another follow-up.

So I've noticed what seems like a rise in violence or turmoil in the world going by what can be seen in the media. But I haven't noticed things getting any worse for me in correspondence so far, which is a relief, as things can get pretty bad for me at times.
I hope the rest of you are fairing well out there.

Agreed. Sometimes relocation can help! If I had any way to do that myself, I would try it.

Yes, as the liberals take over the government, the persecution of Christians will follow.

 

[pdudgeon]

There is no doubt about it. And it is only because God Himself will shorten the days of that persecution, that there will be any Christians left on the Earth.
