25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors.
26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves.
27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
28 You are those who have stood by me in my trials.
29 And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me,

4. The enemy has permission to attack
4. The enemy has permission to attack
The enemy can’t attack you unless God gives him permission
The enemy only attacks those who will be great
The enemy attacks those who are doing the work of God
The enemy may attack but he can’t kill you
The enemy may attack but he can’t steal what God has given you
The enemy may attack but he can’t destroy you
The enemy may attack but he can’t
His mission is a failed mission, “to kill, steal, and destroy” but God doesn’t allow him to fulfill that mission
You can do all that for the enemy, but Jesus is praying for you
