I have not been very good at staying in uncomfortable places. But I am learning how they are just a passing season, and they change, just like the rain will always give way to the sun and night will always give way to day. Those are seasons too, and every event on the earth follows a similar pattern. Persecution gives way to comfort eventually.
We live in a spiritual world, and new places always have a way of fighting perceived intrusions. The new place may be a living place, a work place, a job environment, school, or any other environment. The resistance sets in, mostly gradually, through people, mostly, because people are territorial spirits and those are new grounds outside your other places of dominion. You will face resistance.
Christ has made us the salt of the earth and some of the uncomfortable situations are a way of spending the Kingdom of God. It's in men, and those men have to move around to declare it to the innermost parts of the world. That is why staying when it gets uncomfortable is very important. Refuse to be expelled and God will change the environment for you.
There is also a secret to enduring. Do not fight animosity. Allow the evil to be evil, and do not take it to heart. Stress and anxiety finds a place in ones heart when there is resistance of the heart. Let them be, hold on to your peace of mind. God works in a way that so long us you are holding onto a grudge, He won't deal with it till you let go. And that is one of the most important secrets of winning your wars.
