Series: The Inheritance of the Saints
Facing the Enemy — Part 3: Post 28 of 35
The War That Finds You
You didn’t ask for this war—but it found you.
Israel didn’t go looking for giants. They simply obeyed God’s command to take the land—and discovered the land was occupied.
So it is with us.
The moment you step into obedience, you step into conflict.
“We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against… spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12) You were born again into a battlefield.
The enemy doesn’t attack where there’s nothing to gain. He attacks where there’s inheritance.
– Your identity in Christ
– Your peace and rest
– Your freedom from sin
– Your calling and spiritual growth
– Your relationship with the Lord
These are spiritual territories—and the enemy wants them back.
You were delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of His dear Son (Colossians 1:13). But the darkness did not give up quietly.
That’s why the battle found you.
But God does not leave His people defenseless.
“Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.” (Psalm 144:1)
This is not just survival—it’s training. The warfare you face is part of the preparation for reigning.
The giants are real—but so is the Lord of Hosts.
