Heart of Nehemiah: FINISH THE WORK! The importance of completing the work till the last brick (Part 6 of 13)

LISTEN NOW! Greg and Pat continue to discuss the heart of Nehemiah and the secret to rebuilding the church in America. They encourage us not to settle for half built walls and not to leave any gaps. They continue to share that we are building with living stones and these living stones will cry out. We are seeing that if we embrace Nehemiah’s heart we may possibly be able to help rebuild the church. However, that doesn’t mean it is a guarantee because others have to respond as well. This can be seen in the lives of King Saul and King David they both had the same word spoken over them yet just one of them walked it out.

They continue to share how the walls have built up at this point. They further discuss how many have s settled for half way built walls in their lives and ministry. It’s important to know that half way is not all the way. Halfway built walls always leave you open for attack. They continue to share how Sanballat and his crew came back to harass and frustrate the plan of God. They came to the realization that they will not be able to have access to God’s people. They also realized that they will lose their ability to get to them and find themselves outside of the walls. These men were held captive by Lucifer. They were really scarred because all the gaps were about to be closed.As long as you hang out with wolves and have open doors and windows he has access to you. Don’t give access with those who will cross pollinate in a bad way. Don’t be a gap in the wall, a hole for satan’s messages and messengers to get in. The Apostle Paul warned you day and night that wolves would come in from amongst you. Don’t give the wolf access. They remind us that there are people that are supposed to be in the walls and then there are those outside of the walls. They continue to encourage us not to leave gaps open just to make people happy. No gap meetings, emails, and phone calls they will only take you out. They continue to share that if you are on this journey this will prove to be very valuable to you. When gaps in the wall are closed then there is protocol to come in. Jesus said he is the gate any other way in is a thief or a robber. They continue to share how Sanballat started a strategy to come against the completion of the walls. It’s going to be those who say they love God. Plotting to come against Jerusalem. They are doing this because there access is going to be cut off. These people are not just going to go away. The closer the walls are getting higher and gaps closed they realize they will be completely out. They were benefiting from the gaps, hearing what God is saying so now they are panicking because they are losing access. Organizers will use other people who are standing around. They are stirring them with gossip. If this is you; and you have been the “gap” then all that you have to do is repent and turn your heart to God so that you can come in through the gate. They continue to discuss more in regards to Nehemiah chapter 4 and how the enemy doesn’t just sit there he is on the attack. People get stirred up by Lucifer when they realize they don’t have access. It’s time to close the gaps so that people can walk through the gate, Jesus Christ. They continue to share in context of a local church gathering that just because someone came through a gap and is sitting in our present gathering thinking they are in but in reality they are not in because they didn’t come through Jesus. Nehemiah’s response was but we will pray to God. God will show you what to do. They prayed and posted guards to watch and to protect. You need to have a strategy of protection. If the constant onslaught of discouraging attacks were not enough the strength of the labors was giving out. They were half way there finally closing in the gaps and the adversary continues to wage attacks. They begin to think because of the physical stature that the spiritual things the Lord has called them to do won’t be accomplished. That’s why it’s important to write down your vision and be refreshed by what God has said. You also need to seek out wisdom. It’s not by might or by power but by God’s spirit. It’s God doing this thing. Don’t measure yourself by the response of others. They encourage us to just stay steady and watch what happens. The Bible tells us in Nehemiah 4:11 “Also our enemies said, “Before they know it or see us, we will be right there among them and will kill them and put an end to the work.” They are talking about physical deaths but we are talking about spiritual deaths. Those who had their visions snuffed out. Wherever you turn they will attack us. The wolves are circling. People held captive by Lucifer go around seeking someone to devour. Nehemiah sends men to the lower parts of the wall. Many in the body begin to grumble in their hearts because it is perceived by them that it is something that is not as important, but they are wrong. There is not time for wolves just remain steady in God call, direction and most all His love.
