The War Over New Territory

Building His Church

|

August, 2026

Why is it so difficult to gain new ground for the Kingdom, both in our lives and for the church? Whenever God is birthing something new, opposition and resistance from the enemy will follow. Revelation 12 shows the dragon standing before the woman, ready to devour the child as soon as it is born – a picture of the enemy’s desire to destroy what God is establishing. Andrew Selley explores what this means as we advance God’s Kingdom, from external opposition to internal attacks through false teaching, compromise and temptation. Yet, our victory is secured in Christ as we remain close to God and yield to His Lordship.
