14 Days Of Prayer For The Persecuted Church

Day 3 China:

1) Read - 2 Corinthians 6:4-10
4 but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, 5 beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger; 6 by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love; 7 by truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; 8 through honor and dishonor, through slander and praise. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; 9 as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and yet not killed; 10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.

2) Think About - What makes a person willing to endure pain for the sake of Christ?

3) Pray - Pray for the church in China and for Chinese Christians who may still suffer for their faith.

4) Act - Share this bible study with 10 of your friends.

today's think about is What makes a person willing to endure pain for the sake of Christ?
and I think it might be because Christ endured very hard things and knows how you feel, and he is always with you.

I agree - it's through the power of the Holy Spirit within us that helps us endure hardship. Things we can't imagine facing - He equips up for.
