The Living to Him Podcast Shepherding Words (19) | Encountering Opposition
As believers who love the Lord and who are standing for His testimony, we must not be ignorant of the schemes of God’s enemy in his attacks on the church. In order to help educate and inoculate us against such attacks, the co-workers in North America have released a series of articles on ShepherdingWords.com, which exposes the stratagems of the devil.
This week we have a narration of the article titled “Encountering Opposition.” This article addresses an unpleasant subject - being confronted by those who speak against us - and a surprisingly pleasant way to respond to them. This is not a set of instructions on how to defeat opposition, but an admonition for us to realize that those humans who oppose us are not our enemies. We should approach them in love and take the Lord Jesus as grace to empower us to not be offended by their speaking. Further, we should pray for them and seek to minister something positive of the truth to them.
May the Lord supply us through this speaking and equip us to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand (Ephesians 6:13).
