Typically our response to resistance is despair, frustration and disappointment. During this message we are reminded that resistance is a beautiful part of the journey into the promises God has for us. 3 primary sources of resistance we encounter are: 1) self inflicted resistance, 2) enemy resistance, and 3) Divine delay where God is resisting what we want in the moment to form us in Christlikeness and sustain the promises He has for us.
