The Holy Bible is a written record of true prophecies, fulfillment, sundry virtues and vices, events, chronicles, rebukes, reproves, parables, promises, covenant, testimonies, prayers, directives, psalms, state of man, GOD'S plan for salvation, the execution of the plan, revelations of things past, present and the future and many more, and above all, spiritual wordings and interpretations which are inspired, ordered, commanded, authorized and given by the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD, which earned it the name it carries, "The Written Word of GOD" because it is from GOD.

For in all these records, you will surely find the intervention, hand, inspiration, commandment, power, prophecies and several others, which were by the inspiration of the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD upon those the contents were revealed and commanded to.

Whenever it is then said, "You need the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD to know and understand the content of the Holy Bible...", many find it quite offensive simply because they think, view, compare the Holy Bible with every other books and records they have read.

But one thing you should observe is, "Why is the Devil and its agents so determined to keep attacking, printing corrupted versions, adding, removing, banning the use, persecuting, killing and marking against only those who read and believed the Bible since the beginning of the compilation and translation?"

There are many souls which have been taken by men, who were inspired and instigated by the Devil to persecute and kill whoever carries this special powerful package. But since it could not be stopped, the need to divert attention from it became an urgent necessity.

The readers of "Things Fall Apart", "James Hadley Chase", "Evil In Paradise", "The Eagle Has Landed", "Sherlock Holmes", "Robinson Crusoe", and others I have never heard were persecuted, burnt alive on stakes, crucified, beheaded, hanged, slaughtered, tortured or any other means.

But why is it only those who carry the Holy Bible if not that there is something someone somewhere is trying to prevent you from seeing, accepting, believing, finding out, getting, knowing and understanding?

Millions have lost their lives because they believed the content of the Holy Bible which tells them about the LORD JESUS CHRIST. But those who believe in evolution were accepted even though they were not there when the acclaimed evolution was taking place.

Those who support abortion are celebrated. Those who are robbing the nations are celebrated. Those who are murdering people are celebrated and recognized as icons. But what about those who believe the content of the Bible and their LORD JESUS CHRIST?

Why are they being forced to live in isolation? Why are they considered a threat even though they are peace loving? Why are they forced to be in bondage and their rights taken away if not to discourage nothing but their faith and belief?

Why is their faith and belief threatened even though they were never violent?
But if you happen to find yourself persecuted because of your belief in CHRIST JESUS, Remember these sayings of His:

John 15:18-19 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Therefore, be not discouraged as a believer. The LORD JESUS CHRIST is with us.
You just continue in Him. Your reward is in Heaven. For He knows when you're persecuted for His name sake. That's why He said:

Matthew 5:11-12 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

He has spoken before now to comfort us.
Therefore, let's all focus, not on what the world does against us but on our goal which is our everlasting inheritance with CHRIST JESUS in His eternal glory.

May we all be worthy of our Master, JESUS CHRIST in JESUS CHRIST Mighty name.

Amen.

Peace.
