Series: The Inheritance of the Saints
Standing in the Land — Post 33 of 35
How to Guard What God Has Given
It’s one thing to take ground. It’s another to keep it.
The enemy doesn’t give up easily. He looks for an opportunity to return. He looks for open doors, weakened walls, and unguarded hearts.
This is why Paul wrote, “having done all, to stand.” (Ephesians 6:13)
You must stand.
To stand means:
– Keep alert (1 Peter 5:8)
– Wear the armor (Ephesians 6:11)
– Watch your heart (Proverbs 4:23)
– Stay in the Word (Psalm 119:11)
– Guard your gates (Nehemiah 7:3)
Nehemiah’s men built the walls of Jerusalem with a sword in one hand and a tool in the other. They were building and defending at the same time.
That’s how you live in victory.
You don’t relax after the victory—you reinforce it.
You don’t abandon watchfulness—you heighten it.
You don’t fear the enemy—but you stay sober.
This is your inheritance. Don’t let the enemy steal what Christ died to give you.
Stand your ground.
Stand in Him.
