we are called to discipleship and worship. we are not call to entangle ourselves with the world affairs, but we must pray for even our enemies. for god says in "his word", that he would make your enemy live at peace with you, if your ways pleases him." we live in a world where everyone do not believe and those that do say they are believers are carnal minded and prideful human beings. the flesh has enmity towards the spirit. when we walk not in the spirit we have no knowledge of the things of god and who he is working with or in. we speak vile things when we walk in spiritual darkness, and do evil to those who do. as a child of god you ought to ask god to give you a heart to pray for your enemies and the ones that persecute you. what a joy to behold when one soul repent. we have to live in this world regardless to who believe or do not believe. it is hard to rejoice and even have a conversation with the unbeliever. the motivations for conversation for unbelievers is not to exalt god but the exaltation of the world,flesh, or money and power. if that is all they know , then that is what they can be. but you as a believer can not chasten your behavior or conversation in the fashion of the world. you are set aside for the glory of god, and the kingdom of heaven. if you have to endure being lied on, spied on, trials after trials, then press on. god is getting the glory, you just can't see how in your persecutions for his righteousness ,god is being honored.set the cross before you and the world behind you and see how many souls that will take you to calvary and while on your way down to your knees to pray for their souls.
