Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak. Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
Real courage is when you know you're beaten before you begin, but you begin anyway. That kind of courage opens the door wide for God to act in power.
The enemy doesn’t oppose and discourage you because of where you are. He opposes and discourages you because of where he fears you are going.
Where do you stand with respect to the Christ? Are you are secret disciple who hides in the background or one who has the courage of your convictions?
