Joshua 1:9 Facing Opposition When You’re BOLD In Christ

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua‬ ‭1‬:‭9

When you’re BOLD (because God made you and called you to be) don’t be surprised when the enemy will do all he can to bring you down and fight you on the front of your Identity. The attack will always be on your character, integrity, and your perception of who you are in Christ, but remember nothing changes who you are in Christ! Not even mistakes or falling short can change anything because you’ve never achieved anything through your own personal achievements in the first place, so you can never screw it up or change it. It’s who you are due to the sacrifice that was made for you on the Cross, Jesus died to make us who we are in him!

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭9

‬ The last thing the enemy needs is for you to really realize who you are and who God made you to be. Seeing as you’re Boldness in Christ is his biggest threat don’t be surprised when he treats you as such, throwing everything in his power at you to keep you down. Sometimes the feeling of the enemy throwing every “kitchen sink” in hell at you can just be the start of the opposition you experience to keep you from finding out who you truly are In Christ, so rejoice! It’s a good reminder of how hard you’re running against the enemy as opposed to running with him.

“Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭4‬

So never grow weary or be dismayed, because the Lord your God is with you every step of the way…God Bless👊🙏🙏🙏
