Joel Osteen: "Satan attacks you when you are closer to destiny"

The enemy has come to steal, kill and destroy. The enemy always fights us the hardest, when we are close to our victory. Many Christians give up, at the moment of challenge, not knowing that the devil's desire is to distract us from the mark of our blessing, through temporary challenges. When you are tempted to get discouraged, sour, go back to the shallow waters, it is never going to work out, it has been too long, that is when you have to dig your heels in, and say, I have come too far, to stop now.
