The Desire to Help in a Struggling Society

Romans 15:30-33

Trying to help others through their struggles is always a choice between living by the Spirit of Jesus Christ or doing contrary to the beast that gives what to say, do, feel and think. That’s because the society of those who lives for the beast do not want help given to those who struggle. They are waiting for the strugglers to surrender to whatever their society has in store for them. The love that comes by the Spirit of Jesus to help others in their struggles interferes with the process of forcing people to accept what the beast wants them to be by speaking and doing what the beast gives them to say and do. Paul very humbly is asking only for prayer support in his struggle. Paul would later give his own life to help all strugglers to grow in Jesus Christ and to come to receive Jesus as their Savior. Let’s remember those who live for Jesus Christ in these Godless times and pray for them in the Spirit of Jesus Christ. More than that, let’s give our all for the testimony of Jesus who gave His all for us.

“I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, 
to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.“
Romans 15:30

The social network established today are unbelieving citizens, and they are relentless in their opposition to those who believe in God through Jesus Christ. People are dying from their persistent negativity, carelessness, lapses in giving health care, outright aggression, etc. Nowadays, every issue creates a division between the way of Jesus Christ and the culture of the beast. There is a fire kindled against those who live for Jesus Christ. Society is groomed to be aggressive in the persecution of Christians.

I know that some who live for Jesus Christ fear to accept the gifts given from other Christians. They fear the disapproval that comes from the social network of the beast and the consequences that follow. I know personally how that is. I’m sure many of us have felt this prayer,

“Pray that I may be kept safe from the unbelievers in Judea
and that the contribution I take to Jerusalem may be
favorably received by the Lord’s people there.”
Romans 15

In the Spirit of Jesus Christ, as said by the Apostle Paul, and as a person who enjoys wholesome fellowship in the Holy Spirit, this is my desire,

“…that I may come to you with joy, by God’s will, 
and in your company be refreshed.
The God of peace be with you all. Amen.”
Romans 15:30-33

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
