  • Standing with God invites opposition from the world and Satan.
  • We face the same opposition others have faced; the same God who saved them will save us.
  • All believers in Christ face the same source of opposition, but they also have the same hope—a God who saves.
  • The goal of the opposition is to get the work of God to grind to a halt, but God transforms opposition into opportunity.
  • Every catalyst for a movement of God starts with the word of God.
  • We are called to sow the seed wherever we go. The responsibility to reap the harvest rests where it should—in God's hands.
