Opposition in your spirit to something God has CALLED you to do is just an attack of the enemy. If the enemy can get us to believe that the very things God has called us to do are too big or not worthy of pursuing, we have become ineffective and stagnant. When we face the greatest opposition is when we need to persevere and push towards the goal more than ever because there is victory on the other side. With God we can always come out victorious in the end, no matter the situation. The best thing we can do when we've made a decision to pursue the thing(s) God has called us to do is to prepare ourselves for the opposition that can be just around the corner:
1. Pray- Ask God to equip you with the tools you need to overcome the battle that is raging on the inside.
2. Read His Word- Find scriptures that speak to your situation and stand on them believing that God is greater than the enemy who would love for you to believe his lies.
3. Frontline Friends- Ask trusted friends and loved ones to join you on the frontlines of the battle. Ask them to join you in prayer and to encourage you to keep pushing towards the goal God has placed on your heart.
When God speaks, the enemy loves to be right there to detest what he's spoken and to get you to doubt who you are and what you can do. The enemy is so fearful of your potential that he will whisper any lie he can to get you off track and not carry out the plans God has given you to carry out. Stand firm, pray, read God's word, and ask those around you to fight off the enemy's tactics WITH you.
