Like a Fire!

"9But if I say, I will not mention him
or speak any more in his name,
his word is in my heart like a fire,
a fire shut up in my bones.
I am weary of holding it in;
indeed, I cannot." (Jer 20:9)
I just a chapter out of the book "Living Water" which is where I ran across this verse! Awesome! This chapter discusses suffering for the Gospel/ persecution as producing boldness which "causes the kingdom of God to be advanced and the Devil's plans to be thwarted." Amen!
‎"9because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me." (1 Cor 16:9)
There seems to be a direct correlation between oppostion and effective work of God, so be encouraged if you are persecuted for serving the Lord!
‎"1Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin." (1 Pet 4:1)
‎"11Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." (Matt 5:11-12)
