If you are a believer, you are under constant assault from the forces of darkness. In Episode 1 of \"The Good Fight\", Duane Sheriff explains why tribulation, persecution, and hardship often arise when believers choose to live under the rule and reign of Jesus. Tribulation and hardship are not random. They are a direct result of the kingdom of God living inside of us. In Acts 14, the Apostle Paul was stoned and left for dead, yet returned to strengthen the believers who watched it happen and encourage them to continue in the faith. Tribulation is not evidence that God has abandoned us, but a part of the spiritual resistance that accompanies lives fully surrendered to Christ. Jesus promised that we would face tribulation in this world, but He also assured us that He has overcome it. As a result, faith cannot remain passive. It must be active, steadfast, and prepared to resist the opposition that comes. The question is whether we are prepared to pay the cost. Discover how to endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ, stand firm against spiritual opposition, and fight the right fight, the right way, from a position of victory rather than defeat. 📖 Get your FREE copy ➡️ https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-good-fight/","meta_description":"There is a battle being fought all around us, and whether we realize it or not, every one of us is in the middle of it.
