What the Enemy Meant for Evil God Will Turn It for Good | Ps Mark Collard - 17th May 2026

In this message, Ps Mark Collard brings a word rooted in the story of Joseph and the book of Ezra: what the enemy meant for evil, God will turn for good.

Drawing from Ezra 4 and 6 and the account of Zerubbabel rebuilding Solomon's temple, Ps Mark unpacks the three strategies the enemy uses against us, and then shows how God reverses every one of them.

This is a message for anyone facing opposition, battling discouragement, or holding on in a prolonged season of difficulty. The king has the final say.

Four Declarations from the King (Ezra 6):

Stay away. You have authority to speak directly to the enemy.

No more disturbance. Learn to say no with Holy Ghost conviction.

Help rebuild. What once opposed you will be turned to work for you.

Pay the full costs. The enemy will fund what he tried to destroy, with no delay.
