What feels like resistance may not mean the door is closed. The pressure pushing against you may be the very thing God uses to lift you into a place you could not reach on your own.
In this message, Pastor Tim Dilena explores the connection between open doors and opposition. Through the image of an airplane taking off into strong winds, he shows how difficult seasons can produce growth, courage, and a deeper dependence on God.
When fear, rejection, uncertainty, or discouragement stands in your way, you do not have to retreat. Through prayer, surrender, spiritual strength, and confidence in what Jesus has done for you, you can keep moving forward with hope.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
