Why You Face Distractions and Resistance When You Try to Do Something Good
Why You Face Distractions and Resistance When You Try to Do Something Good
You’re not imagining it. Every time you take a step toward purpose, healing, strength, or growth — something seems to push back.
Maybe you try to lead better in your home… and suddenly life at home gets harder.Maybe you begin to heal… and old wounds flare up again.
Maybe you finally commit to walking in your calling… and you get hit with distractions, discouragement, or even loss.
If you’ve ever wondered why life feels like such a battle, here’s what we’ve found to be true:
You’re Under Attack Because You’re Stepping Into Strength
From the moment you were born, you’ve had an enemy who feared your potential.
Look at the life of Jesus.
His arrival into the world triggered genocide. A wicked king, fearing a loss of control, ordered the murder of every baby boy — all in an attempt to take Him out before He could even begin.
Why? Because behind that king was a greater enemy.
The devil feared what Jesus would do to his reign of darkness.
And Jesus’ life? One battle after another. Narrow escapes. Fierce opposition.
And your story might not be so different.
The Pain You’ve Felt Has a Purpose
The wounds you’ve carried — especially the ones that hit in the place of your strength —
They weren’t random.
They were strategic.
If you ever wondered why certain parts of your life feel cursed, why it’s hardest to move forward in the areas that matter most — it’s because you’re being targeted.
Not because you’re weak.
But because you’re powerful.
When a man heals…
When he walks in true identity…
When he refuses to give up on the mission he’s made for…
He becomes dangerous.
Dangerous to the lies.
Dangerous to the chaos.
Dangerous to the schemes of the enemy.
Dangerous for GOOD.
This Is Why Your Calling Feels Like a Battle
You were created to impact your world — your family, your workplace, your community.
But becoming that kind of man?
It’s not easy.
Because your enemy isn’t afraid of the version of you that’s passive, distracted, or stuck in quiet desperation.
He’s afraid of you.
The real you.
The one who leads with integrity.
Loves with fierce strength.
Stands for truth.
Builds things that last.
And walks in the identity and purpose God gave him.
That man changes everything.
And that’s why you’ll be opposed.
But This Is a Battle Worth Fighting
This may be the most important fight of your life:
The battle for your identity
The battle for your strength
The battle for your freedom
If you win this fight —
You’ll carry power, presence, and purpose into every other arena of your life.
Your legacy will change.
Your world will shift.
You’ll become who you were born to be.
