It is important, if you are a believer that you be prepared for opposition. If you are living your life renewed by the blood of Jesus, you have an enemy. Yes, you have blessings and a life abundant, you even have eternal life. I am sorry to say this.....there is a BUT.....but you will live a life with struggles, sadness, mourning, grief and persecution. As long as we are still separate from our Father we still have to deal with the one that rules this world.
Nehemiah had armies that hated what he was doing.....Armies!!
Nehemiah 4:14 After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, "Don't be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes."
It is one thing to set out on a journey/ministry you felt led into. But, "don't be afraid", There will be opposition, you have the creator of the Universe on your side. There will be battles and wars and yet we know He has overcome the World. Arm yourself with the promises of God, know who fights with and for you. Be prepared to lean on the One who has brought you to this, he will bring your through it.
