SOTM Matthew 5:10 Devious Persecution

Sermon On The Mount Series Matthew 5:10 "Blessed are those who are persecuted" Persecution means you're being 'persued' and Satans best trick is to persue you with spiritual confusion about what God's kingdom is. Satan persues believers with carnal means of spiritual growth through materialistic, carnal substitutes. True persecution is about maintaining spiritual integrity, denying self, and following God's will, not about politics or material prosperity. God's sanctifying work is mainly this: breaking your will and replacing it with His will.
