“There’s an amazing door of opportunity standing wide open for me to minister here, even though there are many who oppose and stand against me.” 1 Corinthians 16:9 TPT
“I have promised to rescue you from your oppression in Egypt. I will lead you to a land flowing with milk and honey—the land where the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites now live.” Exodus 3:17
The land the Lord promised to the Israelites was already actively occupied by several nations, yet God said He had already given them this land. The year ahead is represents an amazing door of opportunity that the Lord has opened wide open for us, but let’s not be naive – there are many that will try and oppose us, many of whom may appear to be mightier than we are. This is because just as in the time of Moses, there’s no uncontested territory in life: expansion in territory for one may mean a corresponding reduction in territory for another. The more territory we take, the more that will be dispossessed. Thus, contention is inevitable. However, there’s a posture we must maintain in addressing this opposition from the vantage point of people who have already won the battle.
This series we’re exploring the 7 types of postures a warrior can take when contending for territory against “giants”. We trust the Holy Spirit to bring illumination and counsel regarding our specific circumstances and opportunities as we go through this series. Click here to download the series.
