When anyone who makes up their mind to truly serve the Lord, the
enemy stands up and takes notice. It will not take long before he
starts hindering the work of a person given over to serve Christ.
We are taught in the word that we are surrounded by so great a
cloud of witnesses. These witnesses are in heaven now, but their
works remain here bearing witness of them. Witness of their
common ordinary lives turned into powerful vessels of God in
great confrontations with the devil.   


Anytime there is a great work being done Satan will contest it.
He will rise up and do everything he can to defy the Lord in it.
 All through the Bible from the Garden of Eden until
Revelation we see Satan always contending, resisting, attacking
and hindering. Doing everything he can to defeat the saints of
the Lord. Many have risen up to serve the Lord, and through heavy
wars and battles through the decades, they "waxed valiant in the
fight." They all have become lion-like people because they see
Christ in everything, everywhere, all the time.  Jesus is
the Author and Finisher of your faith, and will go with you
through your entire life teaching you, and educating you and
taking you from strength to strength, from faith to faith, from
grace to grace, from glory to glory and ultimately face to face.
As William Gurnall said it, "God will place you on the battle
field with courage, and He will take you off the battle field
with honor."  


"God plants His saints in the most useless places. We say, 'God
intends me to be here because I am so useful.' Jesus never
estimated His life along with the greatest use. God puts His
saints where they will bring the most glory to Him, and we are
totally incapable of judging where that may be."  ~Oswald
