8-8-2020_I wouldn’t be bullied
(excerpt from Lebanon in Crisis)
(Jesus speaking: )You think you are in a nice place, and nothing will befall you? Just watch and see. The only ones that will seem to escape the troubles are those who are right in with the world’s ruling class. But that’s a pain for them, though they must bear it in secret. Those who seem to actually be okay, but if they are not being controlled yet by the worldwide leadership, they will fall, in some way or another.
These leaders will look for any cracks to move in and take control, or use things to their advantage. 
Let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.
Beware, for they that say peace and safety—peace without the controlling powers allowing it—will bring sudden destruction on them. Peace is only allowed by them if they are the ones supposedly bringing it.  “How dare anyone get peace from God, from the true Prince of Peace!” 
If God says, “blessed are the peacemakers” then woe to them, by the serpent, and he does his best to disrupt them.
If God says, “visit the fatherless” then rules are made against that.
If God says, “comfort” then people are all made so involved with their own set of troubles, they can’t think of helping others.
You can be sure that each thing, each command, every ordinance put forth by the Holy Spirit in the scriptures is going to be banned or hindered or stopped. It’s a win for satan in so many ways. For those who disobey God get punished. So if [satan] makes it really hard and even seem impossible to do what God says to do, then [people] are punished for it, and he gets to lash out now on the disobedient. Such a creep. Then the work of God is not done either. And those who are not helped because people don’t or can’t do what God said to do, wonder where God is in all this, and turn away from Him, not seeing His love in action.
People have to do what I did, looking into the face of My enemies who hard-heartedly stood there watching if I would heal on the Sabbath, and if I did, they would take My life for it. Was a man’s hand worth the life of the Son of God? It didn’t seem fair, but I wouldn’t be bullied. I was no coward. It was a sample of what satan was doing to the true believers, stopping and withering their hands of service. So I just stood up to their face and healed the man. I defied their rules, their authority, their threats. If I was doing it for the cozy praise of man, I would have done it differently. 
“Line up on Monday morning, and I’ll heal you then,” perhaps I could have said. But no, as when Monday morning came, those wicked ones would have thought of the next excuse, “There is a turmoil and civil disruption that Jesus is causing. The Romans must arrest Him.” 
So I had to do it on the go. For I had to be on the go and My location unpredictable in order to finish My job.
