1) INTRO — WHEN RESISTANCE SHOWS UP UNINVITED

Last week we talked about burden before the blueprint. This is when God puts weight on your heart before He gives you a plan on how to change.

And when you get that:

• You don’t feel lighter.
• You don’t feel clearer.
• You don’t suddenly feel confident.

Instead… you feel resistance.

• doubt
• tension
• second-guessing

And that moment is dangerous because we often interpret resistance incorrectly.

We think:

• “Maybe I misheard God.”
• “Maybe I should wait.”
• “Maybe I should pull back.”

It’s like pressing against a wall and discovering the wall presses back.

And in that moment, resistance will either clarify who you are or convience yout o step away from what Good has called you to.

So let me say this clearly at the front: This is not a “fight the devil” sermon.

This is a discernment sermon. Because not all resistance is spiritual attack, but all resistance requires spiritual clarity.

We need discernment more than ever, and the problem is people are confused about what discernment actually is.

• For some, discernment has become reaction.
