Publisher's summary

"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 stepstool 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 an enemy is 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.

Awsome read

I was so impressed with the book, I'm getting with hard copy to share with

The Necessity ... By Ron Carpenter

This audiobook met my expectations in every way. My favorite moment was the definition of conflict - the space between expectations and reality...the narrator was better than most, but the narrators tone and inflection was limited, which got monotonous after a few hours of listening to this book. I look forward to more from Ron Carpenter.

Truly Anointed!!!

There is none other like Ron Carpenter. He is truly an anointed man of God!

Life Changing Information!!!!!!

When you change your way, you think in the words that you speak you change your entire life. This book is truly amazing. It has pinpointed exactly what has been going on in my life. Now I am stronger,wiser, and I understand why enemies are necessary. I am a threat to the enemy because of God, living on the inside of me.

I enjoyed this audiobook book. One can gain a lot of knowledge reading this alone.

Great for when you are feeling attacked

I would recommend to anyone who is feeling alone and attacked by the enemy. I was recommended this book by my godmother while going through a dark season and it sure did put lights on things I didn’t realize. If you don’t have time to read it you will have time to listen. Pop in that head phone and let it change your mind and heart.

Great book

I enjoyed the audible greatly, listening as I drove to and from work. I also bought the book which I just received today. I met Ron recently at my church, he was a special speaker..it was a great night!

Eye Opening

Ron Carpenter's Book give me a new perspective on how to deal with battlesdo battles that come into my life. This book provided me with new biblical perspective. It did not religious-ize, rather renewed my passion in the works of Christ and the Legacy He left here on Earth. This book give me a new perspective on "An Enemy". An enemy is not only a person but can be my thoughts, my actions, my response, my words and my overall relationship with my life and how I choose to deal with obstacles and doubt.
