Whenever you are doing the will of God, whenever you are obeying God's vision for your life,

wherever you know that you are following God's vision, not your own, nothing. Listen carefully.

Nothing. Can you say nothing? Nothing will ultimately succeed in preventing you from

accomplishing the will of God in your life. Nothing. Now, that does not mean that the enemy of our soul

is going to throw everything at you, including the kitchen sink. I mean, he will throw everything. We've been

seeing it throughout the series. But God's power of perseverance and persistence is going to

work in you in such a way that is going to baffle everybody. It will frustrate your opposition.

It will neutralize your attackers. It will silence your enemies.

It will uplift your friends. It will encourage the discouraged. And it will bring joy to the heart

of God. Nehemiah's people, he and his team, they faced horrendous opposition. They faced incredible obstacles. They faced

crippling discouragements from even those who are supposed to be encouraging them, those

who are in leadership. They were criticized by their friends. They were attacked by their enemies.

They faced unbelievable obstacles, and yet they persevered and they persisted, and they moved forward

with God's vision of rebuilding. God empowered him and gave them victory.

Beloved, listen, there can be no little doubt today that if you are a believer in Jesus Christ

who stand on the authority of the Word of God as the inspire, infallible Word of God,

you will, not you might, not possibly, but you will face opposition.

Even from some people who call themselves Christians.

Years ago, someone said the incubation of godly character breeds people of godly vision.

The incubation of godly character breeds people of godly vision.

What does that mean?
