Pastor Scott Silcox exposes the strategies of spiritual warfare that attack God's vision and reveals how to protect the church's mission with Nehemiah-like courage and determination.
• Standing at the threshold of opening Kingdom Heights school after less than a year of vision
• Recognizing that God's vision will cost you – spiritually, emotionally, financially
• Identifying three enemy spirits that attack vision: Sanballat (mockery), Tobiah (internal sabotage), and Geshem (external intimidation)
• Understanding how the mocking spirit manifests as sarcastic skepticism that undermines vision with phrases like "we've never done it that way before"
• Recognizing the undermining insider who smiles in meetings but sows division through private conversations and passive resistance
• Identifying external intimidation that comes through cultural pressure and accusations of being "too radical"
• Following Nehemiah's response: staying focused, posting guards, praying and acting simultaneously
• Becoming either a builder or a backer - both are needed to advance God's kingdom vision
• Committing to build something eternal that impacts future generations
