wrong. On the contrary, that persecution proves that you are right. If the religious people do not persecute you, then you may be wrong. If the Roman Catholic Church and the denominations do not persecute you, then you must realize that you are wrong. But if you take the Lord as your life, experience Him as your abode, and make yourself His abode, then you must be prepared to meet the persecution of the religious world.

As a satanic, organized system, the world has persecuted the Body of Christ in three main phases: the phase of the Jewish religion, the phase of the Roman Empire, and the phase of Greek philosophy. These are the three phases in which the world has persecuted the church. In the Gos pel of John the Lord spoke several times about the world, by which, in particular, He meant the religious world. If we are truly faithful to follow the Lord in the way of life and in the spirit, tak ing the Triune God as our abode and making ourselves an abode for the Triune God, the reli gious world will persecute us. Tell me, who put John Huss to death by burning him at the stake? It was Roman Catholicism. Who imprisoned John Bunyan, the author of Pilgrim's Progress? It was the Church of England. Who imprisoned Madame Guyon? It was the Roman Catholic

Church. This word of the Lord has been fulfilled throughout the generations. Whenever a person or a group of people has followed the Lord in the way revealed in John 14 and 15, they have been persecuted by the religious world. And the reli gious world will continue to persecute the peo ple who follow Christ in the way of life.
