Smear tactics, persecution and misrepresentation are all part of the peculiar fall out that accompanies anyone who is actually anointed with favor. It is hell's way of letting you know you are important. Everybody wants favor but few calculate the “push back” that comes with the promotion. Most of the “processing” that goes into our private lives is understood when you realize that anyone who seeks to be an opinion shaper is a target for opposition … how much more so when you are anointed to deal with a prevailing spiritual force.
The body of Christ is coming of age–a corporate convergence, and God is raising up leaders in seven spheres of influence, I call it the “7M World” … 7 mountains to take, 7 mission fields to penetrate, 7 markets to master, 7 message zones for a new generation to occupy. Here they are: family, religion/church, education, government, media, arts, economics/business.
Advance with favor and prepare for the backlash. It is hell's way of saying you are dangerous.
- Daniel had his lion's den
- David had to dodge Saul's spear
- Elijah had his Jezebel
- And you? … Stay tuned!

THANK YOU SOOOOOO much !!!!
SO needed to hear this right now !
Bless you !…. Thank You !
So true! You “nailed” it accurately
“Everybody wants favor but few calculate the “push back” …now thats an understatement !
Along that thought, its been my observation that the “push back” more often than not,
is internal, & less external…meaning, like Israel, many Christians implode because they do’nt handle favor & blessing well, succumbing to the debilitating error that either they aren’t deserving ( & none of us are) or the corruptible flip, it’s all about them (self absorbtion) Certainly a young & impetuous Joesph modeled the latter ..
One of the top rules in sales is to never create your own objection(s)”
I find great joy & freedom when I come into agreement to what God deems clean & favored. Its also been a liberating joy to be grounded & to understand that apart from Him, I / we can do no-thing —-by Heavens definition.
God has lavishly provided man a path to “greatness” ..regrettably so many of us, particularly in the body,find ourselves confused &/or conflicted with the term. Thank God that sanctification is not merely a high minded theological concept or propositional truth & musing. Bottomlune, Favor rocks..Fully embrace it. Steward it well. “Greatness” requires it.

Yes! Not an excuse but a reason! It puts things in perspective looking back and continuing to move forward!
Very timely word for me. Thank you for posting.
This is very encouraging for us who are constantly experiencing the push back. Standing on your own strength, this resistance will wear you away to nothing. Luckily we believe in a God who is all powerful and that is with us. Lean into Him, and receive the strength and the grace you need to stand. Spiritual resistance should only encourage us to fight harder.
