Growing The Possessions Hedge (4 of 5)
Series: Hedges - Growing Strategic Spiritual Hedges
Frank Damazio
Introduction: We have realized the necessity of building a strong hedge around our personal lives, our relationships, and fortifying those hedges through prayer. Now we turn to the fourth hedge, the possessions hedge. God put a hedge around Job's possessions: his land, his house, his servants, livestock, cattle, and everything that he managed. We too are managers of our possessions, the things God has given us to use while on earth to bring Him glory. We must build a hedge around our possessions so that we can continue to release them into the Kingdom for His good. It starts with a biblical perspective.

II. THE POSSESSIONS HEDGE UNDER ATTACK
Job 1:10 …hedge around…everything he has on every side…
To attack a hedge means to work against forcefully, assault, bombard, to storm, break down by repeated blows, overpowered by suddenness
