This earth is the place for the heart to grow. Because the judgement of history influences your descendants eternally and also influences your life in the spirit world, be serious about it. Keep in mind that God's law is more fearful than human law. He who is persecuted for righteousness can become the victor in the end. If we know God, we can live, even in the midst of death.
Persecution is the medicine of indemnity which cleanses our mind and body.
Therefore, we should pray for our persecutor. Human ties made in difficult times are really precious. Satan persecutes but he goes down. Yet even though God is persecuted, He is going up. The spirit who persecuted us when he was on earth repents and helps us through his descendants.
