Building the Wall

 

Dear beloved:  Pics, Praying for Tanzania Masai refugees; Crusade in Ngozi, Burundi

Nehemiah 4:16 So it was, from that time on, that half of my servants worked at construction, while the other half held the spears, the shields, the bows, the armor; and the leaders were behind all the house of Judah. v17 Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon. v18 Every one of the builders had his sword girded at his side as he built.  And the one who sounded the trumpet was beside me. 

Beloved, this picture that Nehemiah painted of the battle he faced when building the wall of Jerusalem is a picture of our daily battle with the demonic realm. The battle for the whole earth and against the spirit of the antichrist is the overarching battle described in God's word.  But the battle we need to be most focused on is the battle you and I are involved in each and every day. The enemy is right in front of us!  We succeed in battle by having a sword (the word of God) in one hand, and the tools for building (cameras, video cameras, platforms, sound systems, plane tickets, etc) in our other hand, prepared to build. Our leaders, the pastors, evangelists, elders, etc., are the ones who blow the trumpet to rally the troops to each region or battle front. We don't spend much time talking or teaching about the mark of the beast or what day Jesus will return.  The battle is now and it is intense.  We have many needs and projects that are on hold, waiting for provision.  We are not waiting for the seals or trumpets or bowls to be enacted.  Many people are in the valley of decision right now, and even worse on their way to eternal darkness.  Our job is to lead them to Christ, to share the good news of the gospel.  We invite you to partner with Gather the Outcasts as we take the gospel to children through our feeding program, and to the young people and adults at the church meetings and crusades.  Pray about your part in helping us.  May God bless you as you pray!
