Not only not to not stop it. He’ll use the attack to bring about the purposes.
That’s the double blessing you get by not giving up by keep going.
He’s not only gonna not let us up, he’s gonna actually use it to make it happen.
So remember that it’s not about the attacks on your life.
It’s about the plans on your life. Let the attacks focus you all the more on the plans.
Get on with it. The enemy is okay.
If you want to focus on him your whole life, we are to be aware of him.
That’s what Paul said, but not to be dwelling on him because when you’re dwelling on him, you’re not fulfilling the plans.
So get on with it even in the middle of an attack, get on with the plans.
Don’t just focus on the attack. Get on with the plans.
The attack is about the plans and there’s something more the enemy doesn’t attack indiscriminately prophetically here.
He’s focusing on Israel Jerusalem, the temple mount. So get this.
His attacks actually reveal the very things that are chosen by God.
The enemy’s attack on your life is revealing.
Number one you are chosen by God, but also specifically revealing within your life, particularly things that are chosen to be used of God that the enemy is trying to destroy your purity.
You know God, the enemy wants to destroy because God wants to use it.
The enemy might be attacking, especially your family, your marriage. God wants to use it.
The enemy may be especially attacking your finances. God wants to use it.
The enemy is attacking your relationships with others. God wants to use it.
God wants the enemy may be attacking by having you be afraid to talk to people.
God wants to use you to spread the word, the enemy wants you in fear.
God wants you to overcome it with some of you and you may think about this particular things.
The enemy attacks with some of the enemy has been doing everything he could to distract you divert you because when you’re so distracted with everything else and all the stuff of life, you’re not gonna do his will, the enemies.
So the enemies attack actually contain the revelation for you of what God wants to use and not only the focus of his attacks, but the timing of his attack may reveal the timing that God wants to do something very great.
There are certain times when it was obvious in my life and in the ministry where the enemy is just going crazy, it was linked to something great that God was going to do.
One of those times was when I was asked to go on the first, our first kind of prophetic mission to the nations to India.
And the moment I said, yes, everything all hell broke loose that very weekend And, and never, never let up.
It was crazy craziness, false reports. The tickets for the were gone.
Everything, the plane, the the engine started falling apart in flight.
I mean, I can tell you so much everything up until the very end of it.
But at the end of it, we saw about 70,000 Indian people pray to receive the lord, the enemy knew it.
You know, just before the first book that I ever wrote came out, I said pray, pray that week came hurricane Irene to Beth Israel flooded when one of my books got another book came out on the exact day of the release stroke of midnight.
I become paralyzed, mysterious infection. I’m in the hospital for the week.
I’ve never been in the hospital overnight, but it was the release date of the book.
Another book comes out on the day of the release.
I get a strange pain in my abdomen, my appendix burst. I’m in the hospital again for about a week.
You want to find the time. The only times I’ve ever stayed overnight in the hospital.
Look at the release date of the books.
Now I’m not saying it has to happen and God forbid you know all that.
But when we were starting Beth Israel, it was like that too.
It was like we’re, we’re trudging against the snow like it was. But Scott was gonna do something great.
Don’t fear the attack because God is greater than any attack and nothing will stop his purposes.
If you don’t stop, if you don’t stop, he’ll actually use the enemy.
Not only not to not stop it, he’ll use the attack to bring about the purposes.
That’s the double blessing you get by not giving up by keep going.
He’s not only gonna not let it stop, he’s gonna actually use it to make it happen.
Richard Brown was a pastor in Romania, communist Romania. He was in prison for his faith for years.
He could minister. So he thought I have this guy stopped him completely.
And yet in prison, he used them to minister and get ministered by God that when he came out, he started a worldwide ministry to all the persecuted believers across the world.
The enemy tried to stop God used it to fulfill Joseph in Egypt, in exile.
At the end, he says to his brothers, listen, you meant this for evil.
This was evil, but God meant it for good.
The very same thing that the enemy is using God uses for good. Look at the cross. It’s the enemy.
If you’ve ever seen the enemy, if the enemy crucifying God, on the other hand, it’s God overcoming the enemy and recognize, recognize the strategies when, when instead of just don’t panic, recognize what’s happening as with the dome of the rock on the temple mount.
The enemy has will try, has tried, will try to stop God’s purposes in your life by giving you a substitute for what is God’s best.
God says this is best. You have to seek my best. Don’t settle for something else.
And he’s gonna try to redirect your gifts, your call. And he said, listen, you gotta call.
You got a gift to use it for money.
Not that God can’t use money, but that’s not what you serve.
Or maybe the enemy, your angel of Persia has been delaying something in your life. There’s opposition there.
Now, God can say no to something and you can say wait, but there are times when something is God yet it could be delayed for different reasons and it could be the enemy like you want to live victoriously.
The enemy’s gonna try to stop that.
So don’t get, don’t get, don’t get discouraged when something comes up, I want to get stronger and then something happened.
You messed up, don’t get discouraged. Keep going. You want to share the word. I got stuff.
The enemy doesn’t want you to. That just makes sense.
Look at the man used so gigantically for the purposes of God. Paul.
Paul said he was separated from birth for the gospel. The enemy knew it.
Look at how he tried to first, he got Paul totally against the Gospel. Here he is, Paul.
He took his zeal and made it against the Gospel. He thought he was serving God against God.
So here he’s fighting the very thing that he was born for before you knew the Lord, you might have been fighting the very thing that you were born for.
I did, I was an atheist. I argued against the Gospel all the time. God knew it.
The enemy knew it. God knew it. The enemy had Paul beaten, persecuted, thrown in jail.
Paul even speaks about being buffeted by a messenger by principality, but Paul didn’t stop he and look at how, look at what he accomplished.
Look at his life, he never stopped. He could have he was beaten, thrown in jail.
How many of us might have stopped? He didn’t stop. Now let’s take this home. Make it very practical.
No one, recognize that the enemy has already tried to stop the purpose of God in your life.
Recognize it. Number two, look at the things he has attacked you with those things are most likely things that God has chosen to use in your life.
No, that obstacles and delays are part of this fight. Don’t let them stop you.
If something is God’s will do not let it stop you. Keep going.
Don’t let the attacks distract you from the purposes of God. Get on with the purpose.
Learn to see the revelation of the attacks that this is something instead of getting discouraged about it, get encouraged about it.
Take it as an extra encouragement when you are being attacked.
Know that when you are being attacked and you’re in God’s will, there is a reason and it is a good thing and know that also it’s not just that the enemy is attacking.
You know, it says here says I was attacked, says, but then Michael came, good old Mike came Michael Mikhail.
Michael is the principality that specifically fights for Israel.
It says, you know, you want to know why Israel, unlike the hittites and websites and human rights and all that, all the lights are gone, but Israel is still alive and not only with all hell trying to wipe it out all the time because of Michael Mike, that’s our Mic Michael God God using this.
There’s something supernatural going on that it’s going the other way and it’s going that way too.
So when you’re fighting, you have help fight, you’ve got help.
When you’re being attacked, you’re not, you’re not just being attacked without another side.
There’s another side that is with you to fight.
And lastly remember, and this is the one to emphasize, this is the enemy doesn’t waste his ammunition.
He doesn’t waste his time or energy.
It means that if you’re being attacked, you’re in God’s will, but you’re getting attacked.
It means He knows God has something and something great. If the attack is great.
Greater is the purposes. The attack is great, greater is the victory.
The attack is great, greater is the blessing and the purpose that’s waiting on the other side of the attack.
You just Gotta do it. You got to fight through it. Hold on, hold on. Remember, he cannot stop you.
If you don’t stop, Daniel could have been real discouraged.
He prayed for over 20 days and fasted, but he didn’t stop. He didn’t stop.
And the Angel could have been discouraged. He’s fighting for 20 days, didn’t stop. God called You.
There’s gonna be resistance, do not stop. There’s gonna be attacks, do not stop you.
You know, you, you do not give up some of you might have given up on what God called you.
Listen. If it’s God, you don’t give up, don’t give up on you because God didn’t give up on you.
He doesn’t give up on his purposes. God wants you. He has God.
What God has for you is always great. You know what people have. Maybe not, but God has.
It’s always great. Get, get so keep going, get the attitude that the apostles had here. They were persecuted, stopped.
They said you better not, we’re gonna kill you.
If you keep preaching, they arrested you, they got the angel took them out.
They go right back to where they can keep preaching.
It’s kind of the spirit of this is the spirit of oh yeah, like the enemy.
You’re doing this and you’re doing this against me and they say, oh yeah, well, I’m gonna do it even more now because you did that.
I’m going to be even more, more strong in this.
You did that now, I’m gonna do what I was gonna do before. Oh yeah, hi, I’m Jonathan Cahn.
