He said: Be still and pray.
Nehemiah 4:14-18 (KJV)
14 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
15 And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.
16 And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
17 They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
18 For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
We are in a time in which the word of God will come to pass quickly and judiciously but not when you or I know it. We will know it has happened but we will not see as it happens- it is happening now and we do not know it.
The word went forth and many cried “false Prophet”. Many ‘Christians’ looked at the circumstances and began to expect the worst. I believe Donald J Trump will be back in office before 2024.
People respect my faith but doubt my understanding of His Word. As I have said on more than one occasion, I am alive today because of God in the midst of an impossible situation. I have witnessed many miracles and believing for many more.
In this time we are to be workman on the wall. We are to continue building His kingdom and studying His word. Everything else is irrelevant. “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalm 46:10 KJV)
I have said from the beginning, this is a spiritual battle. I shared my opinion that it has been a spiritual battle before Donald J Trump got in office. John 10:10 informed us: ”The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:” and Jesus comforter us by saying: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” This is why we can be still.
There will not be a physical battle, like what happened in the civil war. I am not saying there will not be skirmishes initiated by Satan’s children. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12 KJV) Stop trying to fight with natural weapons.
There are those who are called to intercede on earth as it is being done in heaven - they are the Prophets whom many ignore. Nehemiah 4:16 states: “And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.” If you read the rest of Ephesians 6, verses 12 through 18, you will see the weapons are spiritual not physical.
The battle is on. This is when BELIEVERS are to be still and pray. Those who are not praying should be building the wall- sharing the gospel. But, even those who are sharing the good news have to keep one hand on the Word.
“And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.”
“For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.“ Nehemiah 4:14, 18
Listen to the trumpet will be sounding soon.
