It will not be easy but it will be the best decision of your life. There will be trials and failures but the most important thing is to immediately seek God and limit the lag time that may come from trials or failures. Spiritual warfare is very real and the schemes of satan will try to increase the lag time by sowing in doubt, fear, guilt, shame, distractions, discouragement, etc.

I really enjoyed reading this and think it’s excellent Christian insight into maturity and “fighting the good fight of faith, and holding up the shield of faith to extinguish the fiery darts of the devil “
sort of a battle hardened wisdom
“There will be trials and failures but the most important thing is to immediately seek God and limit the lag time that may come from trials or failures. Spiritual warfare is very real and the schemes of satan will try to increase the lag time by sowing in doubt, fear, guilt, shame, distractions, discouragement, etc.”
your touching on the true battle of faith in the world
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:”
Ephesians 6:10-17 KJV
it sounds like your tangibly talking about how to have and use an effective shield good stuff

Yes, Very Real, Especially Against being "Approved Unto God,"
causing All of the Massive Confusion among believers... i.e.:
Approval Unto God/Two Different Gospels
+
"Distinctions" of prophecy vs The Mystery
Of course, we must first "put On The FULL Armour Of God,
and stand..." (Ephesians 6:12-20).
Little wonder then, Paul was Inspired to write:
Amen?
GRACE And Peace...

"Praying always with all prayer and supplication
in The Spirit, and watching thereunto with all
perseverance and supplication for all saints;
And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I
may open my mouth boldly, to make known The Mystery
Of the Gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds:
that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak."
(Ephesians 6:18-20)
How we all should pray for the same to "stand And make known"!Amen?
GRACE And Peace...
