In this sermon‑style encouragement, the speaker explains that the pervasive sense of chaos many people experience—financial strain, relational tension, mental and emotional unrest, and even resistance during prayer—is not merely random difficulty but a spiritual signal. He argues that when believers devote themselves to God’s Word and prayer, the spiritual realm becomes active: the enemy, sensing the growing momentum of God’s work, attempts to create havoc and block progress, while simultaneously God may be stripping away familiar comforts to prepare the individual for a new divine assignment. The speaker urges listeners not to be discouraged by this turbulence, but to recognize it as a sign of impending divine instruction and to stay encouraged despite spiritual resistance.
Chapters
This might be why you feel like everything is so chaotic right now. This might be why you feel like you're trying to grasp for something stable, something familiar, something that gives you some sense of direction. And maybe you're being attacked from every different place financially, in your relationships, there is strain, in your mind, in your heart. Even when you pray, there seems to be this distraction, this resistance, like you're hitting a wall. and something's keeping you from moving forward, this spiritual warfare, this spiritual activity around you is a sign that God is about to speak to you or take you to this new place that he has for you. Because the enemy can see in the spirit. He can see in the spiritual realm what God is doing around you and in you. He can see in the spiritual realm the momentum starting to pick up and you show up on the enemy's radar. And the enemy goes, okay, what's going on over here? It looks like something is happening in this person's life. It looks like they're yielding themselves. They're devoting themselves to the Word and prayer. The presence of God, the glory of God is manifesting in a more intense way on them. We better stop that. And so now there's all this resistance. Part of it is the enemy causing havoc or trying to prevent you from moving forward. And another part of it is the divine hand of God trying to strip away what was before. Because sometimes we cling to what is familiar, and because we cling to what is familiar, God has to remove our grip so that we can grab hold of what is his divine will. And so you may notice this turmoil, like one thing after another after another, and you feel like you can't even catch your breath. If you're there, I want you to be encouraged because that is a sign that divine instruction is coming, that you are being positioned for a new assignment. Don't make the mistake of being discouraged by the spiritual resistance.
