Why Our Struggle is Not Against Flesh and Blood

Many of us may dismiss resistance and suffering as a natural yet unexpected part of life. We should expect resistance, especially when we are trying to share the Gospel to others, because there is also a spiritual force - known as the enemy of God - that is at war against us. When the enemy inevitably tries to discourage us in our moments of triumph, joy, and spiritual breakthrough, we should recognize the resistance we feel as spiritual warfare and as an encouraging reminder that our actions are moving us towards God.
