Hostile Forces A Compliment

The more you are in fellowship with God’s ultimate, full purpose, the more intense, and bitter, and relentless will be the activities of hostile forces.

That is perfectly clear, but it is a compliment! 

Perhaps we don't like those kind of compliments, but it is a compliment to anything when the devil hates it and would seek to destroy it.

So, what counts most for God, or could count most for God, will be the target of most of the enemy’s activities, and that's a significant thing.
