The Great Struggle of a Faithful Shepherd
Every leader in the church will struggle and face conflict in order to lead well and teach the scriptures faithfully. Gary Wilkerson talks about the right mentality that makes a truly victorious, faithful pastor. This success may not look like it to the world, but it does in heaven.
The Danger of an Easy Life
I’ve been in 60 different nations around the world, and many of those countries are places where you will suffer just for being a Christian.
Galatians 5:13
For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
On Their Feet and Ready
“Now Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him, but had departed from Saul” (1 Samuel 18:12, NKJV).
Satan envies and fears most those who have been with God in prayer and are determined to stand up and fight in faith. Satan fears even a small army of those who are girded up in faith for a fight. He cowers before those who are up on their feet and ready to resist.
Because he fears you, his design is to neutralize your fighting spirit.
Chaos and Conflict in Church
Never once in the Bible do you see Peter, James and John have a problem with the beatings or the commands from authorities not to preach the gospel. That’s not going to slow the church down. It’s not external pressures or external persecutions that will put off God’s work among his people. It will be chaos and conflict that comes from within the church.
Proverbs 12:16
The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.
