If you are a believer and you are pushing into the things of the Kingdom one thing you can expect is opposition from the enemy. Satan hates anyone who has given the Lord control of their life and is willing to do whatever is asked of them in order to fulfill their destiny. The work of the enemy can come in many shapes, If he cannot discourage you then he will go after those who are important in your life that do not have the same relationship and understanding of the Kingdom.
2 timothy 2:22-26 Amplified Bible (AMP)
22Shun youthful lusts and flee from them, and aim at and pursue righteousness (all that is virtuous and good, right living, conformity to the will of God in thought, word, and deed); [and aim at and pursue] faith, love, [and] peace (harmony and concord with others) in fellowship with all [Christians], who call upon the Lord out of a pure heart. 23But refuse (shut your mind against, have nothing to do with) trifling (ill-informed, unedifying, stupid) controversies over ignorant questionings, for you know that they foster strife and breed quarrels. 24And the servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome (fighting and contending). Instead, he must be kindly to everyone and mild-tempered [preserving the bond of peace]; he must be a skilled and suitable teacher, patient and forbearing and willing to suffer wrong. 25He must correct his opponents with courtesy and gentleness, in the hope that God may grant that they will repent and come to know the Truth [that they will perceive and recognize and become accurately acquainted with and acknowledge it], 26And that they may come to their senses [and] escape out of the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him, [henceforth] to do His [God's] will.
This scripture lets us know that there will be difficult times, we must not fall into the temptation to fight and argue, but to allow the power of God to help us to live out our destiny! Go for it!
Great exploits await!!
