"Resistance", an audio recording of a sermon by Solomon J. Keal

Why is it that when we start to choose something good in our life, we often end up facing resistance, discouragement, or conflict? Sometimes it might even feel like we’re being punished for doing something good. Right after the Lord was baptized by John, He faced temptation in the wilderness with the devil (see Matthew 3:16-17; 4:1-11). This is our story as well. Why is this normal and to be expected? How can we maintain hope and positivity through all this? How does the Lord use these times to make us stronger?

Here are some things to read, from the Word and from Swedenborg's works:

Matthew 3:16-17; 4:1-11

The New Jerusalem and its Heavenly Doctrine 187-188

The New Jerusalem and its Heavenly Doctrine 197

Arcana Coelestia 1690
