Fight for Your Spiritual Inheritance: Act Fast, Call God

So God has given you every weapon you need to stand against the advances of the enemy when he comes to oppose your progress in taking your spiritual ground. And also, the Lord invites you into the battle. He says, fight for this with me. Fight for your inheritance with me. When the enemy comes to counter attack your progress, fight with me to take back the land that is rightfully yours in the spirit as sons and daughters of the most high God.

``is your attitude and your posture like Joshua where you say, oh, no. No. Not an inch will be allowed to go to the enemy. No. No. Not on my watch. I'm signing up for the group. I'm getting into the recovery program. I'm going up to the front to worship. I'm signing up for counseling. I'm removing the pornography from the house. I'm making the phone call. I'm asking for forgiveness because I heard there's an attack on my inheritance, and I will not let it stand. We're going after it. [00:43:46] (31 seconds)  #NotOnMyWatch

No. I you know, I was living a good life, and this opposition seemed to come out of nowhere. And it was so dark, and it was so heavy. And my people surrounded me. My husband, Rich, you hear hear he's the front row. He's on the front row there. Of course, he is. My rock, my anchor. Every marriage needs an anchor. Let me tell you, it's not me. It's not this girl. She got her anchor over here. But he supported me and believed in me and prayed over me and worshiped over me. And there'd be some nights where I'd tell him, babe, I don't wanna wake up tomorrow morning. [00:44:18] (32 seconds)  #FindYourAnchor

You know, in 2017, I had one of the most terrible attacks. And in my life, it was the form of panic and anxiety. And I don't say that lightly. I know a lot of people be like, oh, I'm kinda anxious, and we're like, oh, let's pray. No. I like, I get it. I was to the depths and back. I couldn't stand on stage anymore. I took some time off preaching. I couldn't stay stopped at stoplights. I was freaking out all the time. I was pregnant with our third child. And you guys, I was a good Christian girl. I wasn't cussing or anything. [00:44:18] (33 seconds)  #AnxietyIsReal

but he doesn't have as much power as you think. But he's not stupid. So he's not gonna come at you with things you don't struggle with. He's gonna come at you with things that he knows are personal to you. And he's gonna say, oh, that insecurity. Oh, that lust. Oh, that temptation. Oh, that bitterness. Oh, aren't you angry? Doesn't that he's gonna come and he's gonna mess with you in a very personal way. And you have the option to say, well, I'm gonna let pastor Dave's faith just really carry us through this situation, or I'm gonna let my small group pray me through this one. Or you can say, no. No. No. This is personal. This is my battle. I'm taking out my weapons. I'm going after it. [00:46:31] (39 seconds)  #OwnYourBattle

And because I fought, I can confidently say that I feel like I am walking in the full version of what God has for me as he has it right now. I am on stages. I am leading our leadership college, and that would not have happened if I had simply let other people fight for me. I had to pick up my weapons of warfare. I had to do scary and courageous things, and I had to fight for it. And now, I can stand before you. And now, even more importantly, I can teach my daughters, this is how we fight. This is how we fight. [00:48:49] (34 seconds)  #FightForYourCalling

He did not hesitate. He did not have to ponder. Oh, the enemy's coming at me. Should I should I? Is it worth it? What are the pros and cons? How much will this cost me? I'm feel very comfortable right now. No. It says he went quickly, and he responded as if he had no time to waste. I think one of the greatest lies of the enemy is making you think that you have more time than you actually do. Just wait till tomorrow. You can deal with your scrolling habits another time. No. No. Just wait till the next family reunion to ask for forgiveness. No. You have some time. Why don't you just wait? [00:50:43] (36 seconds)  #NoTimeToWait

But they're eating the produce of Gilgal. And it says Joshua gets this call from their little cousin, the Gibeonites. We need help. There's a threat on your inheritance. And he says, leave Gilgal. Let's go. And they march all night, and they take them by surprise. They leave the place of comfort and safety and provision to go take their enemy by surprise. I think what might surprise the enemy most is when his church decides to leave comfort for the sake of battle. [00:55:39] (30 seconds)  #LeaveComfortGoToBattle
