There are times when  working in the ministry or 
doing things for God&#8217;s Kingdom that suddenly,
harsh, unexpected or even cruel attacks occur.
Opposition is at every front, efforts are mysteriously
thwarted, and at every turn are roadblocks and setbacks.
</P>

<P>
If that&#8217;s the case, here is some surprisingly good news.
</P>

<P>
When we are doing God&#39;s will, working diligently for his kingdom,
living a Christ centered life and <I>especially</I> winning souls
for Christ <FONT COLOR=#DD0000><B><I>Expect Opposition&#33;</I></B></FONT>
</P>

<P>
The Devil and his minions (which also includes nefarious  and mean-spirited people)
<B><I><FONT COLOR=#DD0000>HATE</I></B></FONT>
seeing the saints of God succeeding at doing his
work and stealing souls away from damnation. If things are
all of a sudden perplexing, trying, and difficult, consider that
we indeed &#8220;<I>Do not wrestle with flesh and blood but against
(evil) spirits in the heavens&#8221;</I> (Ephesians 6:12) Realize that
the source of your oppression is not what you are doing <I>wrong</I>
but instead what you are doing <B>right&#33;</B>
</P>

<P>
Jesus even told us to expect this when he said, 
<I>&#8220;In the world ye shall have tribulation: 
but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.</I>&#8221; 
(John 16:33)
</P>

<P>
So Friend, when encountering opposition, <I>Don&#39;t Lose Heart&#33;</I>  
Fight the &#8220;Good Fight Of Faith&#33;&#8221; and
remember that the devil is a <I>defeated foe&#33;</I>
Instead of being discouraged be <I>encouraged</I> 
because these trials are a sign that you are 
on the right path and fighting the
<B><FONT COLOR=#000099>Good Fight</FONT></B></FONT>.
</P>
