“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” — Jesus
Congratulations! Your Goliath Has Arrived.
Enemies often seem to get in the way of our plans, leaving us discouraged and disoriented. But what if these obstacles are a part of God’s plans for us?
Our enemies - whether our weaknesses, circumstances, deep-seated sins, other people, or any other challenge—can become our stepping stool to new breakthroughs in life, if we leverage the opportunity. Just as David’s encounter with Goliath transformed him from a delivery boy to a national hero, our enemies can be a blessing in disguise - if only we recognize and face them head-on.
Human nature tells us to flee our enemies, but Ron Carpenter will challenge you to embrace them. In The Necessity of an Enemy, Ron shares engaging insights like:
• God intended for every enemy to be your footstool for promotion.
• If you want to be number one, you can’t just beat number nine.
• The depth of your battle gives you insight into the greatness of the potential God put in you, and enemies are your key to unlocking that potential.
• All battles are fought over your future, not over your past or present circumstances.
Are you ready to reach your next goal in life? Do you want biblically-based wisdom to help defeat every enemy and move with confidence to your destiny? The Necessity of an Enemy will give you the tools to change your perspective – and find meaning and purpose in all of life’s trials.

Excellent book must read
I enjoyed this book so much I couldn't hardly put it down I've been taking notes will probably want to read it again just to be sure I remember everything this book is so extremely helpful to me at this time in my life that I am praising God for this book and for Ron Carpenter ministries God bless you I will definitely be sharing this book with all my family and friends and will want to get copies for all of them I will keep this book in my library because I feel I will need to refer back to it again and again well done thou good and faithful servant thank you so much
A must, must read and glean!
A must, must read and glean! It's milk and honey for your soul and a weapon to help defeat the enemy in that spiritual warfare! I am in awe of how God's sweet Spirit led me to Pastor Ron last October via his TV ministry which is blessing countless lives including mine..I would hear testimonies from other believers who have read this powerful book and how empowered they were by the truth as Pastor Ron gives it to you "real not sugar coated" For months I said that I would purchase the book and when I finally did, I became super distracted and I can see why now that I have read this book! The enemy, just like Pastor Ron who am I so blessed is now my Senior Pastor, says,"it's not your present conditions that are the focus of the battle. The battle is over your position and identity in God's eyes..." This book was so worth the money what 2 grande perhaps Venti iced Carmel machiattos perhaps with some extra shots of espresso(Starbucks my fav)...hey ministry cost and this is about getting my Ruth on by gleaning from wise counsel so that I could get myself in position. Now I can affirm how the distractions came like labor pains(I know those all too well) I feel strong and ready for battle, because Pastor Ron always encourages us to sit at the feet of JESUS and to hold tight to The Word of God! Let's tell the enemy,"you got served"
Great Book
This is a great read. It help you realize that and enemy isn't always bad, but just another tool God can use to promote you to a new or higher level. Pastor Ron is so translucent with his life, family, and ministry in this book. You can always talk down and preach to others, but to open oneself up to show everyday life problems, turmoil, and flaws, and show how God will can turn all things around for our good, and has the ability to change prospectives and help others believe and trust in Christ. Great job RC
