Because when you start to follow God and you're taking territory and all of the things, the enemy is going to come at you in any way possible to stop you.
And there's been a handful of you that have messaged me and been like, oh my gosh, like your podcast won't load for me or like it's stopping and I have to go back.
There's been so many little things popping up in my life, in my business, on my socials that are just trying to like in my family that are just trying to distract me or stop me from what I'm doing here.
Like I can feel it spiritually that I'm like, okay, God is calling me to something.
And in the world, like we teach on this, like as a business coach, I learned this in the NLP courses that I did too, where like right before you hit a breakthrough, there is this part that makes you want to quit.
It's warfare that's trying to get you to stop, right? So that you don't grow forward.
And so if you're experiencing that right now where you're like, this podcast isn't loading for me yet, like just stop for a second and be like, I rebuke that in the name of Jesus.
But there's this process of like overwhelm that's come up and like some of the grief that's coming up for me.
Like I can just feel the enemy whispering to me like this is too much for you.
