I\u2019ve worked in many different jobs and several industries, but it\u2019s different than any other job because it\u2019s not a job, it\u2019s a calling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Do the Righteous Respond? \u2022 Fire Power!\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A0B2ECFWUJk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Ministry is certainly rewarding and you know that God is with you, but at times the pressure and attack can make you feel almost overwhelmed. It comes from all sides. It also rarely stops. What happens is that the warfare doesn\u2019t cease, but you eventually get better at dealing with it. That is very important. God seasons you. He has to do it. We have to let Him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>God waits until you are ready. Then He gives you more. This process continues unless you get off course or your heart state goes into fleshly things rather than His will. But if you steward what He gives you appropriately, He expands the territory. For HIS glory, NOT ours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The enemy hates that the minister is helping to save souls and pull people out of darkness. The whole battle in this world is about souls. It\u2019s about where we will spend our eternity. Also, where those around us will spend their eternity. So if you become a soul winner, that puts a huge target on your back because you are working against the enemy\u2019s plan for destruction and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The enemy also absolutely hates a Bible-believing, Spirit-filled Christian. That\u2019s because the battle is against principalities and strongholds, and the Christians can stop the wicked plans and pull down the strongholds. This is why if you are one of these people, you are also targeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Things are now coming to a head in the world. There is a rise in the spirit of the Antichrist. What was once more hidden is now open and overt. This is because the hour is extremely late. They are calling evil good and good evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>God is not going to tolerate people who are doing things in His name, but who lack the fear and reverence of who He is. He is requiring us all to humble ourselves and wait on Him for whatever it is that He wants us to do for HIS glory. Also to go when He says go. We need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Ministry is not a platform. It\u2019s not fame. It\u2019s not a following. It\u2019s not about a perfect person or pastor. It\u2019s about being a humble servant. We need to be humble servants. Not looking for our dreams to be fulfilled. God will do exceedingly and abundantly of anything we can imagine anyway. It\u2019s not about our own glory. Not about what God can do for us, but rather what we will do for Him. Subsequently, He will reward our obedience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In ministry, you will be attacked, and many things will happen\u2026but God will be your defense. It\u2019s critical to stay in the secret place. It\u2019s about God. His work. His Kingdom business. Stay in Him. Stay on mission. Make sure your heart is right. Die to your flesh daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The way you don\u2019t grow weary is by staying in prayer, worship, and the Word of God. Don\u2019t look for man\u2019s approval. Serve an audience of One. He will keep you. In Him, you will find peace and rest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The joy of the Lord is our strength.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rss\"><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/remnantnews.podbean.com\/e\/the-isaiah-blueprint-the-todd-coconato-show\/'>The Isaiah Blueprint | The Todd Coconato Show<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/remnantnews.podbean.com\/e\/rededicate-250-is-america-turning-back-to-god-the-todd-coconato-show\/'>Rededicate 250: Is America Turning Back To God? | The Todd Coconato Show<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/remnantnews.podbean.com\/e\/stop-them-from-destroying-us-%E2%80%A2-fire-power\/'>STOP THEM FROM DESTROYING US \u2022 Fire Power!<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/remnantnews.podbean.com\/e\/night-of-miracles-when-heaven-invades-earth\/'>Night of Miracles: When Heaven Invades Earth<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/remnantnews.podbean.com\/e\/what-is-remnant-revival-%E2%80%A2-friday-service\/'>What Is Remnant Revival? \u2022 Friday Service<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/remnantnews.podbean.com\/e\/set-apart-for-such-a-time-as-this-the-end-is-not-yet-%E2%80%A2-sunday-service-1776352506\/'>Set Apart for Such a Time as This: The End Is Not Yet \u2022 Sunday Service<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/remnantnews.podbean.com\/e\/trump-s-iran-deadline-just-changed-everything-%E2%80%94-what-happens-next-will-shock-you-live-video-with-pastor-todd\/'>Trump\u2019s Iran Deadline Just Changed Everything \u2014 What Happens Next Will Shock You | Live Video With Pastor Todd<\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ministry is the hardest thing I have ever done.
