Day: Day 7
Date: January 14, 2024
We are taking this journey with Nehemiah because God is highlighting the current Church and what we are being called to do together.
We are to bring change that is needed because we are the change! We, the people of God, have more power than the enemy!
The enemy’s agenda is talked about a lot on the news, in most homes and even in many Churches.
There is much chaos and we can see that satan has risen and infiltrated many areas of our society. Many people call these areas the seven (7) mountains of society, and we, as Christians are called to be involved in the change that is needed for each of them.
Before you read on, remember God has His hand on you to build a particular part of the broken wall. He is going to cause us to recognize these parts, individually and corporately.
1) FAMILY – We can see the decay of the way God has intended marriage to be. Parents are not even allowed to “interfere” with life-altering decisions for their children.
We, the Church, can be a part of REBUILDING this wall by loving our children and speaking the truth of God’s ways into their lives and by raising them in the knowledge of Jesus and what the Bible says about marriage, about right and wrong, and about the company we keep.
2) RELIGION – Many are falling for false doctrines, such as all-inclusive salvation. Some even say satan will have another opportunity to be forgiven. The “grace” message says no matter how you live, you are forgiven because of God’s grace. Though we can apply the opportunity to ask forgiveness for our sins and to access God’s grace, we must take the full counsel of the Word. The Word says this:
1 John 3:5-6 NKJV
5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.
6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.
We are to be those who stay together in the Body of Christ and build unity on purpose. In praying together and building God’s Kingdom together, we are spreading the real truth of love, grace, and obedience to God, without compromise.
3) MEDIA – The persuasive ways in which the Media reports lies instead of truth leaves many without hope. They often release hatred and cause much division. They report rhetoric that is not even proven. The system is broken.
How will they know without a preacher? (Romans 10:14). That is why God is raising up voices that will release the truth, His way. Parents are taking a stand in the school board meetings. The people of God are releasing news with spiritual insight and providing remedies by releasing truth and prayer across the world.
4) EDUCATION – They have infiltrated and changed our history.
Any sense of morality is considered only for the old and narrow-minded people (though we have begun to see revival among many young people). The walls, however, are broken to the point that we have children identifying as “furries,” so they are allowed to have cat boxes in their school rooms. God made us in His image and likeness and He is not a “furrie” or confused in any other way about who He is and who He has made us to be.
We have been called upon by God to stop the nonsense. Things have gone into degradation and become totally bizarre. We must release insight into how God has given everyone HIS DNA and made a way for all to have peace within themselves through Jesus. We must speak out and show love to ALL so they can see who really has power.
5) ENTERTAINMENT – Satanic worship is on display openly. “Hollywood Stars”—and I use that word loosely—are very vocal and are releasing liberal agendas that lead our young people to stray from any sense of truth about who the real God is and always will be. Some of these “stars” admit to selling their souls to the devil with boasting, while some admit it with regret.
Oh my goodness! This wall that the enemy has built is trying to hold back the revival that God preplanned for this time frame in history. We have begun to see movies come out to address God’s plan to rescue children from human trafficking and other atrocious crimes. God is not done, and we can be those who ask others to go with us to see what God is using to call them unto Himself. We must be bold witnesses and act with kindness and wisdom as we invite them into the relationship they have longed for their entire lives.
Jesus is always the answer.
6) BUSINESS – Businesses are being shut down because they stand for what they believe. Economic hardship is causing many others to close their doors.
So many are confused and suffering from loss. We are those who must fill our mouths with hope and the truth of God’s economy.
Seed time and harvest will always be available and we can spread the truth of God’s prosperity in the midst of famine.
7) GOVERNMENT – The government is trillions of dollars in debt with no hope of changing their ways. Our walls are broken down with hatred, division, and no answers.
However, we do not rely on natural governments or leaders of state. Righteous leaders will definitely help, but we, the people of God, must be those who refuse to be a part of hatred and division. We must spend time in God’s presence until He has infiltrated our whole beings. His presence must flow to the depth that it overflows out of us to break down the enemy’s walls and REBUILD the walls of real justice. We know what the Bible says about the end times. Troubling times are here, but so is God’s mercy and grace. We have these moments to cry out on behalf of people who need mercy and truth to be tied together.
Nehemiah 2:19 NKJV
But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official, and Geshem the Arab heard of it, they laughed at us and despised us, and said, “What is this thing that you are doing? Will you rebel against the king?”
Nehemiah and those who were with them were despised.
The enmity of the serpent’s seed against the cause of Christ is confined to no age or nation. The application to ourselves is plain. The Church of God needs to be RE-ESTABLISHED for the sake of many.
Yes, that means we will be exposed to assaults as Nehemiah was.
That is why we must not let business, pleasure, or the support of a party consume all of our attention or cause us to forget that the Body of Christ
must be strong to REBUILD the broken down walls of our society.
Our GOD is an awesome God and we can believe and declare as Nehemiah did.
Nehemiah 2:20 NKJV
So I answered them, and said to them, “The God of Heaven Himself will prosper us; therefore we, His servants, will arise and build, but you have no heritage or right or memorial in Jerusalem.”
LET US RISE!!!!
PRAYER
Oh God of Heaven,
Thank You for Your promises regarding Your people. Thank You for the provision You have made for us. Thank You for the ability You have given to us to ensure that You have a place for Your presence to dwell within us.
We prepare our Temples before You now and ask You to give us insight and wisdom, not only how to be repaired ourselves, but how we might be the most effective Church for Your Glory to be made known and seen upon the earth.
We pray that the Body of Christ will recognize the need for them to rise and be the influencers necessary to infiltrate every sect of society. Help us REBUILD every part of the broken down walls.
Let every member of the Body do their part so that Your name is famous in all the earth and that You receive the glory.
We pray for the peace of Israel.
We pray for the strengthening of America and other nations that will stand through these testing times.
We pray for Liberty Life Center and other Churches that stay true to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and will not bow their knee to another.
Help us to partner with You, Lord. Lead us to victory as we arise to build!
In Jesus’ name, we pray.
Amen.
