The Inheritance the Enemy Can’t Touch | Sarah Jakes Roberts

The enemy doesn’t truly care about your money, your job, or even your relationships. What he’s after is your confidence in God. Because when your confidence in who God is remains strong, you tap into your inheritance—an inheritance of power, strategy, and creativity that cannot be stolen.

If you lose that confidence, you lose access to everything that heaven has placed within your reach. You might still say the right words, but without faith in God’s authority, the enemy will simply stay comfortable in your house. But when you know your inheritance, when you declare in the name of Jesus, hell must flee.

You have an inheritance in Christ. It means you are never alone, never without provision, never without strength. Heaven’s resources back you up. That’s why storms couldn’t destroy you, why sickness couldn’t take you out, why the weight of life didn’t break you. You carry the kingdom of heaven inside you. You don’t just go to church—you bring the church with you, because you are the temple God chose to dwell in.

The enemy may have tried to shake your confidence, but he did not take your inheritance. He might have touched your pride, your time, or your emotions, but your eternal inheritance remains. Don’t waste it. Spend what God has given you in every season of life—whether that’s peace in the midnight hour, wisdom for hard decisions, or courage to stand when others fall.

Peter discovered who he was when he recognized who Jesus is. The same is true for you. When you anchor your confidence in Christ, He reveals your true identity, and through you, the kingdom of heaven is established on earth. That’s why Jesus said, “On this rock, I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail.”

But understand this: the gates of hell will try. That’s why we need confident believers on the front lines—people who know their authority in Christ. Some of you may be weary, needing a season of healing. That’s okay. In the kingdom, we rotate on the front lines. While you rest, another warrior will step forward. And when you’re restored, you’ll take your place again.

The battle requires all of us. To break addiction, to protect families, to shift nations—it will take every confident believer walking in their inheritance. And even if life has left you wounded, remember this: you are still anointed. You may feel rejected or bound, but your inheritance remains untouched.

So let God breathe life into the places that feel dead. Let Him strip off the grave clothes the enemy tried to put on you. You don’t have to fight in your own strength—you fight with heaven’s backing. That’s why you’ll stand, that’s why you’ll overcome, and that’s why the enemy can’t take what God has written with your name on it.
