Isaiah 55:12-13
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

God called me and caused me to be born again and gave me HIS Spirit and taught me in HIS way and trained me ... and set me out according to HIS will.
I went out with great joy in each assignment.

The most important thing is it is God who sent me out and it is God, not man, who trained me for the work to which HE called me, apostle and prophet.
Ephesians 4:8; 11-12
When HE ascended up on high, HE led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
... And HE gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

Paul suffered persecution from the Jews ... I have suffered persecution from those who attend churches and hear false doctrines opposite to Bible.
But in each case, we go out in the joy of the understanding of the Word which God has given us.
And we are upheld by God as we have been taught to do our jobs by God.
God sustains us in all the persecutions.
They do not understand us because they are not of God, just as they didn't understand Jesus because God's word was not in them.
John 8 ... Jesus says:
He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
Many who say they are ministers cannot hear the word of God and they bring their own works to me to show me their works, but they have no real message from God, only their own works.
It is terrible to see this.
But Jesus warned us they would come saying Jesus is Lord, and deceive many. And that is what they do today.
Matthew 24:3-5 And as HE sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
