Very encouraging Thank you for this timely message brother. May our Lord, by His Spirit, stir up our hearts more and more to love Him and long for His appearing.
Sovereign God. Good and encouraging message. I was moved my David's story. The Lord is sovereign even over the extent sickness affects our bodies or our minds.
"The Crown has called him a danger to the health and safety of Albertans."
"My prayer is that men will stand!"
An abstraction, called "the Crown," labels a Godly real man a danger to notion of "health and safety" of a generalized Albertans. Would that this pastor be surrounded by his congregation both prayerfully and physically, that he might be uplifted. Would that all churches stand while they still can.
May the Lord enable this pastor to stand for the Lord in all the Lord asks from Him. What a reward for those who suffer for the Lord! So many "Christians" today who are "walking" with the Lord until the first "Ouch!"
1 or 2 You find 1 or 2 here and 1 or 2 there. Whether you go into a Church of 10 or 500 you find 1 or 2 here and 1 or 2 there. If you find even 1 cherish that fellowship as may not find another.
There is the same grace and life in Jesus and with Jesus in times of persecution or not. But in these days of increasing wickedness, if we will want to live for Jesus, we will have continually the opposition of the world.

I believe, as the time passes, a great dividing line will be reached between those pastors who obey the state when asked to close their churches, and those who stand for the Bible and for the Kingly rights of the Lord Jesus in His Church. I believe something like 1662 will happen soon. Many will obey the state, but others will be ready to suffer because of faithfulness to the Lord. May the Lord have mercy upon my soul and give me the grace to stand with Him and for Him!
Great truths. This message was useful for my heart today. Blessed bitter medicines of God in my life and in my little assembly! How precious they were and are! Everything the Lord does in this world He does for the spiritual and eternal good of His beloved Church!
