If there is anything that I have learned in my 15 years of ministry it is that if there is no oposition to you, or if there is nobody who dislikes you, you are probably not doing anything for the forces of evil to worry about. It is only when you decide to stand up and be counted. To be a catalyst for change in your generation, that Satan takes notice. It is then that you will begin to face various oposition and threats and accusations in an attempt to silence you and keep you from staying on course. You can never use personal attacks as an excuse to sound a retreat. As Dwight D. Eisenhower said "there are no victories at bargain prices"
So if you are determined to be victorious in your life and your calling, brace yourself, a battle is coming.
