You're exhausted. You've been fighting your spouse, your boss, people at church, your neighbor. Spending all your energy on battles that don't matter.What if you've been shooting at the wrong people this whole time?Pastor Daniel tells the story of a Japanese soldier who fought in the jungle for 29 years after World War 2 ended. He didn't get the memo. The war was over, but he kept fighting locals and police, convinced they were the enemy. He wasted 30 years of his life. Devoted to fighting. The wrong enemy.That's the story of every human before meeting Jesus. Wrong enemy, wrong energy.When you change sides from God's enemy to God's child, three things happen. New enemies (Satan, the world, the flesh). New teammates (every believer on earth). Same old war (it's been going since Eden).Here's the problem: Most Christians forget we're in a war. We turn and start fighting each other instead of the actual enemy. One in every three Christians who leave the church points to conflict with someone in the church as why they left. That's 33% casualties from friendly fire.Jesus prayed for unity seven times in John 17. Seven times. Because He knew we'd manufacture enemies out of the people standing right next to us.The flesh is the enemy within. Your discontentment, your angst, your anger—it turns on your pastor, your spouse, your church. And you waste years fighting people who were never a threat.Stop shooting at your brothers and sisters. Stop surrendering to this world. Stop collaborating with your flesh.💡 Big Idea:Wrong enemy, wrong energy.📖 Key Bible Passages:John 17, Ephesians 2:1-5, James 4:1, Revelation 19:11
