HAVE YOU ever been so discouraged by receiving opposition to your message of Christ and the Gospel, that you wanted to give-up walking as a
Believer?
Paul says in Romans 15:30, "My friends, by the power of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the love that comes from the Holy Spirit, I beg you to
pray sincerely with me and for me."
Prayer for protection from the opposition was important to the Apostle Paul and is vital for those serving in First Nations ministry.
TODAY, I INVITE YOU to pray with me that our Native people and those serving in Native Ministry will be rescued from all forms of hostility and
harassment.
1 Thessalonians 2:2b says, "But God gave us the courage to tell you the good news about him, even though many people caused us trouble."
Ask our Creator to rescue our First Nations people and those serving in Native Ministry from all opposition.
ADDITIONAL SCRIPTURES (4 translations: The Scriptures, CEV, Amplified, KJV):

and has the books in chronological order. The Contemporary English
Version (CEV) is a translation that is written for 'oral tradition'
peoples and it flows well while reading it aloud. The Amplified
version is one where meanings of words and phrases are 'amplified' for
better understanding. The King James Version (KJV) is the
translation that works well with Strong's Concordance. Please also note
the links to Scripture in Cherokee.

when we came into Makedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were hard pressed

the downcast, encouraged us by the coming of Titus, and not only by his
coming, but also by the encouragement with which he was encouraged over you,
when he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your ardour for me, so
that I greatly rejoiced." (The Scriptures)
2 Corinthians 7:5-7 - "After we came to Macedonia, we didn't have any
chance to rest. We were faced with all kinds of problems. We were troubled
by enemies and troubled by fears. But God cheers up people in need, and that

Titus, but what really made us glad is the way you cheered him up. He told
how sorry you were and how concerned you were about me. And this made me
even happier." (CEV)
2 Corinthians 7:5-7 - "For even when we arrived in Macedonia, our
bodies had no ease or rest, but we were oppressed in every way and afflicted
at every turn - fighting and contentions without, dread and fears within
[us]. But God, Who comforts and encourages and refreshes and cheers the
depressed and the sinking, comforted and encouraged and refreshed and
cheered us by the arrival of Titus. [Yes] and not only by his coming but
also by [his account of] the comfort with which he was encouraged and
refreshed and cheered as to you, while he told us of your yearning
affection, of how sorry you were [for me] and how eagerly you took my part,
so that I rejoiced still more." (Amplified)

only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told
us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that
I rejoiced the more." (KJV)

Ephesians 2:14-22 - "For He is our
peace, who has made both one, and having broken down the partition of the
barrier, having abolished in His flesh the enmity - the Torah of the
commands in dogma - so as to create in Himself one renewed man from the two,
thus making peace, and to completely restore favour both of them unto Elohim
in one body through the stake, having destroyed the enmity by it. And having
come, He brought as Good News peace to you who were far off, and peace to
those near. Because through Him we both have access to the Father by one
Spirit. So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow
citizens with the set-apart ones and members of the household of Elohim,
having been built upon the foundation of the emissaries and prophets,
Messiah Himself being chief corner-stone, in whom all the building, being
joined together, grows into a set-apart Dwelling Place in
,
in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of Elohim in the
Spirit." (The Scriptures)
Ephesians 2:14-22 - "Christ has made peace between Jews and Gentiles,
and he has united us by breaking down the wall of hatred that separated us.
Christ gave his own body to destroy the Law of Moses with all its rules and
commands. He even brought Jews and Gentiles together as though we were only
one person, when he united us in peace. On the cross Christ did away with
our hatred for each other. He also made peace between us and God by uniting
Jews and Gentiles in one body. Christ came and preached peace to you
Gentiles, who were far from God, and peace to us Jews, who were near God.
And because of Christ, all of us can come to the Father by the same Spirit.
You Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens with
everyone else who belongs to the family of God. You are like a building with
the apostles and prophets as the foundation and with Christ as the most
important stone. Christ is the one who holds the building together and makes
it grow into a holy temple for the Lord. And you are part of that building
Christ has built as a place for God's own Spirit to live." (CEV)
Ephesians 2:14-22 - "For He is [Himself] our peace (our bond of unity
and harmony). He has made us both [Jew and Gentile] one [body], and has
broken down (destroyed, abolished) the hostile dividing wall between us, By
abolishing in His [own crucified] flesh the enmity [caused by] the Law with
its decrees and ordinances [which He annulled]; that He from the two might
create in Himself one new man [one new quality of humanity out of the two],
so making peace. And [He designed] to reconcile to God both [Jew and
Gentile, united] in a single body by means of His cross, thereby killing the
mutual enmity and bringing the feud to an end. And He came and preached the
glad tidings of peace to you who were afar off and [peace] to those who were
near. [Isa. 57:19.] For it is through Him that we both [whether far
off or near] now have an introduction (access) by one [Holy] Spirit to the
Father [so that we are able to approach Him]. Therefore you are no longer
outsiders (exiles, migrants, and aliens, excluded form the rights of
citizens), but you now share citizenship with the saints (God's own people,
consecrated and set apart for Himself); and you belong to God's [own]
household. You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and
prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the chief Cornerstone. In Him the whole
structure is joined (bound, welded) together harmoniously, and it continues
to rise (grow, increase) into a holy temple in the Lord [a sanctuary
dedicated, consecrated, and sacred to the presence of the Lord]. In Him [and
in fellowship with one another] you yourselves also are being built up [into
this structure] with the rest, to form a fixed abode (dwelling place) of God
in (by, though) the Spirit." (Amplified)
Ephesians 2:14-22 - "For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and
hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished
in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in
ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having
slain the enmity thereby; And came and preached peace to you which were afar
off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one
Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and
foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ
himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed
together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord; In whom ye also are
builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit." (KJV)
Ephesians Chapter Two in Cherokee.
Ibrim 10:32-36 - "But remember the
former days, when, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle
with sufferings. On the one hand you were exposed to reproaches and
pressures, and on the other hand you became sharers with those who were so
treated, for you sympathised with me in my chains, and you accepted with joy
the seizure of your possessions, knowing that you have a better and a
lasting possession for yourselves in the heavens. Do not, then, lose your
boldness, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that
when you have done the desire of Elohim, you receive the promise: "(The
Scriptures)
Hebrews 10:32-36 - "Don't forget all the hard times you went through
when you first received the light. Sometimes you were abused and
mistreated in public, and at other times you shared in the sufferings of
others. You were kind to people in jail. And you gladly let your possessions
be taken away, because you knew you had something better, something that
would last forever. Keep on being brave! It will bring you great rewards.
Learn to be patient, so that you will please God and be given what he has
promised." (CEV)
Hebrews 10:32-36 - "But be ever mindful of the days gone by in which,
after you were first spiritually enlightened, you endured a great and
painful and struggle, Sometimes being yourselves a gazingstock, publically
exposed to insults and abuse and distress, and sometimes claiming fellowship
and making common cause with others who were so treated. For you did
sympathize and suffer along with those who were imprisoned, and you bore
cheerfully the plundering of your belongings and the confiscation of your
property, in the knowledge and consciousness that you yourselves had a
better and lasting possession. Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless
confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. For
you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform
and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away [and
enjoy to the full] what is promised." (Amplified)
Hebrews 10:32-36 - "But call to remembrance the former days, in
which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions;
and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used. For
ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your
goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring
substance. Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great
recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done
the will of God, ye might receive the promise." (KJV)
Hebrews Chapter Ten in Cherokee.
Ibrim 12:3 - "For consider Him who
endured such opposition from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary
and faint in your lives." (The Scriptures)
Hebrews 12:3 - "So keep your mind on Jesus, who put up with many
insults from sinners. Then you won't get discouraged and give up." (CEV)
Hebrews 12:3 - "Just think of Him Who endured from sinners such
grievous opposition and bitter hostility against Himself [reckon up and
consider it all in comparison with your trials], so that you may not grow
weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting in your minds."
(Amplified)
Hebrews 12:3 - "For consider him that endured such contradiction of
sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds." (KJV)
Hebrews Chapter Twelve in Cherokee.
1 Thessalonians 2:2 - "But having
suffered before and having been mistreated at Philippi, as you know, we were
bold in Elohim to speak to you the Good News of Elohim in much struggle."
(The Scriptures)
1 Thessalonians 2:2 - "As you remember, we had been mistreated and
insulted at Philippi. But God gave us the courage to tell you the good news
about him, even though many people caused us trouble." (CEV)
1 Thessalonians 2:2 - "But though we had already suffered and been
outrageously treated at Philippi, as you know, yet in [the strength of] our
God we summoned courage to proclaim to you unfalteringly the good news (the
Gospel) with earnest contention and much conflict and great opposition."
(Amplified)
1 Thessalonians 2:2 - But even after that we had suffered before, and
were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God
to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention." (KJV).
