Wherever a seed is planted it is Satans determined effort to stamp it out. The Gospel is operative in the devils domain... any threat to it will get a reaction. He sows confusion.......the regular smoke screens of making mountains out of mole hills and mole hills out of mountains.
Among Satans agents are pliable, obstinate and worldly wise man not to mention civility and legality and of course there's the saboteur ....they are ever so nice but call them on their game and you'll see a different face, some slippery, some agro and some vindictive.
Jesus is no pacifist......as he steps up to the mark stiff resistance is experienced, he tells us it will be no different for his followers.
If we think God has an organisation which does not have Satans plants we need to awaken from slumber and pray for courage, discernment, discretion and wisdom.
