It seems that some in the church have always had a theology that says something can t be God if there are any difficulties involved. We want confirmation from God in the form of ease. It may actually be more in line with scriptural example if we were to watch for satanic opposition as a sign of confirmation that we are on the right track. In the Bible God gives us the example of a young teenage boy with very limited abilities. He shows us this David who will not tolerate the bullying and tyrant posture of opposition to the will of God.
Courage accompanies purpose.
When we do not understand God s purpose and God s ways, not only will giants intimidate and prevent us but anything which poses as a possibility of change or adjustment in our comfort zones. When we receive a prophecy, the elements of that prophecy will require adjustments in some area. From the moment David received his prophecy, his life was in continual change being propelled toward destiny. Caleb and Joshua, who gave the good report, were the only two out of that generation who possessed the promised land. Athaliah represents that which attempts to prevent change.
