Philippians 1:28-30
28 Don't be intimidated by your enemies. This will be a sign to them that they are going to be destroyed, but that you are going to be saved, even by God himself.
29 For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for him.
30 We are in this fight together. You have seen me suffer for him in the past,
and you know that I am still in the midst of this great struggle.
(NLT)

The enemy can be fierce but he is beaten. The enemy hates us because we bare the mark of the Holy Spirit who resides within us. He will do anything to destroy us whether it is full on combat or deceptive complacency. But Christ is in us, this is the sign that our enemy fears and he fears the Lord Jesus Christ. For we have been given the privilege of trusting in Christ. With this trust and faith in Christ we will suffer for Him, not in defeat but in victory. We are to fight together in this battle to win the lost soul to Jesus Christ. We are to stand firm against the devil and he will flee. Suffering is only a small part of the whole picture that God has for our lives. In this suffering Christ and the Holy Spirit will be right there with you the entire time, upholding you and giving you the strength to witness and to persevere. The victory is ours in Christ, we have already won because of Christ therefore we have nothing to fear. Let us go and share the Good News of Jesus Christ for Christ has defeated the enemy and cleared the pathway. Go and fulfill God’s will for you.

Grace and Peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ
