Did Paul face satanic opposition when he tried to do something glorious for God?
Yes, Paul faced satanic opposition. Whenever he attempted to do something glorious for God, the devil opposed him. This reflects the principle that the more a believer tries to do what pleases the Lord, the more Satan attacks, and prayer support is needed.
Les explains that this is a fact of life: when he would do good, evil is present with him. The more you try to do what is pleasing to the Lord, the more Satan attacks. Les says this is what Paul was up against as well: whenever Paul attempted to do something that was glorious for God, the devil opposed him. Les also notes that his own teaching ministry faces satanic opposition, and he lives in constant fear of satanic attack, with the prayers of the saints protecting him. He maintains that believers must constantly pray for one another because they are up against an adversary who does not like anything they are doing.
