As we share the message of Jesus, we need to know that there are all sorts of forces, powers, and people who will seek to destroy, corrupt, and negate that message in the hearts of those who are open to God's Kingdom. Sharing the message of Jesus Christ is far more than sharing our religious opinion; it is spiritual warfare against the evil one and all of his forces. He does not want Jesus' name honored or God's Kingdom to rule in the hearts of men and women. That's why the apostle Paul solicited prayers for his efforts to share the gospel. That's why he was sometimes met with fierce opposition and persecution. More than just the power of closed minded, hard-hearted, and bigoted people, those who share the message of God's grace in Jesus take on the powers of hell. It will sometimes not be easy, but we can always be assured that we will ultimately and eternally be victorious!
