and thank the Lord for my children and all of my family who are always praying and encouraging me let us pray father God please illuminate your word to our minds and hearts so that we will draw closer to you and be encouraged to advance your kingdom here on earth in Jesus name Amen I like to draw your attention again has already been lifted to scripture but to Nehemiah the sixth chapter verses 1 through 4 now it happened when sanballat Tobiah Geshem the Arab and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall and that there were no breaks left in it so at the time I had not hung the doors in the gates that same ballot and Geshem said to me saying come let us meet together among the villages in the plain of oh no but they thought to do me harm so I sent messengers to them saying I am doing a great work so that I cannot come down why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you but they sent me this message four times and I asked them in the same manner according to verse three so I sent messages to them saying I am doing a great work so that I cannot come down why should the work cease while I leave it to go down to you a man my brothers and my sisters I want to talk to you this morning from the topic now is the time to rebuild and maintain our spiritual walls now I want you to look to the neighbor to your right and to your left and repeat this after me now is the time to rebuild and maintain our spiritual walls a man you see the book of Nehemiah records a period in history of the children of Israel when they had returned to Jerusalem after they came from captivity in Babylon they had been rescued by Cyrus the king of Persia in fact their return to Jerusalem starts in the book of Ezra and continues in the book of Nehemiah and I just want to encourage you this coming week take some time to read both of those short books and I think you'll see some great encouragement of what God can do in our lives you see the book of Ezra relates to a story of two returns from Babylon to Jerusalem the first one was Zuba Bale who was a prince of Judah and a descendant of David and he went there to rebuild the temple and then the second return was under the leadership of Ezra the scribe to rebuild the spiritual condition of the people and then we have Nehemiah a Jewish man who was the cut barrier for the person king ah taxes and he comes on the scene some 94 years after the Jews had returned to Jerusalem from captivity and the walls were still torn down that's a long time to have your walls still torn down and the question is why would the enemies be content with letting them rebuild the temple and not want them to rebuild the laws of the city you see God knew the answer to that question so he appointed a time and he had Nehemiah to reach out to his chosen people to let them know that it was time for them to rebuild and maintain their laws and I want to say to you today just like the adversary the devil was trying to kill steal and destroy God's people by keeping their walls torn down after their release from captivity him and his demonic forces are still trying to keep our spiritual walls as believers torn down that's why this morning I want us to consider some reasons why now is the time for us to rebuild and maintain our spiritual walls my brothers and my sisters the first reason why now is the time to rebuild and maintain our spiritual walls is this is because their walls matter it ain't deep in a real deep the laws matter that's why we have walls in our houses walls on our jobs walls in the hotel's walls in prisons and thank God for bathroom walls my god hallelujah for bathroom walls but we find in Matthew 6 Jesus taught us he says go into your secret closet and close the door in other words our secret closet has walls any great city in antiquity had great walls babylon jericho jerusalem terrace and there are other famous border walls as well the Great Wall of China Germany's Berlin Wall Islands Belfast peace walls and the Korean wall and the list goes on but I want to mention also in the book of Revelation 21 verse 12 it tells about a New Jerusalem descending down from heaven from God that has a great and high wall and I feel about this wall that has 12 gates and it has 12 angels at the gates aha and tall wall understand that why because walls make a difference in the quality of our lives we can have access into our walls with gates and doors so we can secure the access in the walls now really I'm jumping ahead of myself but if I were to have a pot due to this message the pot too would be security access to your laws but I will stay right here with this message and let you know that broken down walls allow uninvited access broken down walls invite allow uninvited access we could give access into our spiritual walls to the word and to the Holy Spirit because the psalmist says this he says thy word have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against thee in other words there's alright to have the word of God come in it's alright to allow the Holy Spirit to come in but we got to be careful about other things understand this that God knew the enemy did not mind the Jews building the temple and does not mind believers believers coming together to worship even on special occasions as long as he the enemy has access to come in the temple and to come into the church to wreak havoc the enemy always is always trying to gain access into our spiritual temples so that he can wreak havoc in our lives in our lives we must learn quite get his brothers assistance we must learn to restrict access it's while spiritual temples restrict access it draws spiritual walls don't let the devil and his demons come in unfortunately even sometimes you can't let people in to your spiritual walls you see the Jews going back to Jerusalem and building a temple first was good but waiting so long to build the walls was not good people get saved today but they delay in growing in their relationship with Jesus Christ in other words we must have some walls that the enemy of our souls cannot penetrate and I'm talking about spiritual walls I'm talking about food up the spirit walls I'm talking about my love log love the Lord with all your heart and with your mind and your soul and your strength and then love your neighbor as you love yourself if you love me you will keep my Commandments love your enemies and bless them that curse you and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you you can keep our lives free when we have our love wall strong hallelujah we can pasa talked about a judgment-free life a judgment-free zone when you have love in your life when you have them that the wall of love strong in your life we can have a judgment-free zone in our lives my joy wall the joy of the Lord is my strength my peace wall he shall keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on him and the list goes on my patience wall my kindness wall my goodness wall my faith wall in other words the major fee that we meet in our lives when the enemy attacks us is the shield of faith my dear to this walls my self-control wall spiritual walls are needed to transform but Li to be like Christ and when we rebuild and remain and maintain our spiritual walls we advanced the kingdom of God here on planet Earth in other words we bring God's heavenly character into the earth and that's what the problem is today there's not enough of us bringing God's character into the earth we invade the worldly culture with God's kingdom culture we bring stability to our families and the spheres fears of our influence it was Apostle Peter who said this in 2nd Peter the first chapters starting with verse 5 he said but also for this very reason giving all diligence add to your faith virtue to virtue knowledge to knowledge self-control to self-control perseverance to perseverance godliness to godliness brotherly kindness to brotherly kindness love for if these things are yours and abound you will neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ for he who lacks these things are short-sighted even to blindness as an has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins and watch this vs. is therefore brethren being even more diligent to make your call and election sure if you do these things you will never stumble in other words as we maintain and rebuild our spiritual walls we don't have to worry about stumbling for so and interest will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in other words our strong walls help us in our decision making we make better decisions when our spiritual walls are built up and maintained because spiritual walls make a difference you see what am i settled in his spirit that the walls of Jericho could no longer wait to be rebuilt this is what he did at night he slipped out and had a private mission and he inspected the broken walls and I want to suggest that the second reason why now is a time to reveal and maintain our spiritual walls it is because we need to keep our walls in good condition when was the last time you had your spiritual walls inspected we must have our ongoing inspection of our spiritual walls but we need to make sure that we got a quality inspector I'm not talking about mama knellman and our choosing them and uncle bill name I ain't talking about them or even the various contractors or builders on HGTV they can't do it all the builders that have built the tallest buildings around the worlds they can't do it we need an expert Enix and inspecting spiritual walls it starts with plan asking the Holy Spirit to fill us and did bring us submissive to his guidance having an intimate relationship with God I just want to ask you today do you have a prayer life are you acquainted with your spiritual coach watch what I'm saying now are you acquainted with your spiritual coach who's your spiritual coach the Holy Spirit should be when Jesus went back to heaven he assured us that I helped overcome and that help is the Holy Spirit in other words we need the Holy Spirit to inspect us and empower us to rebuild and maintain our spiritual walls you see he empowers us to to stand on the the Word of God and obey God's Word we need supernatural divine power to rebuild and maintain our spiritual walls we see in verse 4 of our text scription four times the enemy attacked Nehemiah with the same solicitation to stop building and to come down and meet with them they even had an old false prophet prophesied that God wanted him to come meet with them mium I responded the same answer was they did not life I ain't going down from this great work so I cannot come down for your purpose because we're doing a great work mium I had come to the conclusion that the work must not stop and provide us the third reason what now is the time to rebuild and maintain our spiritual walls it is because our enemy will not give up we must not give in if the enemy is not going to give up we must not give in the enemy's enemy means us no good we must always be ready to fight while we work at rebuilding and maintaining our walls it's going to be a battle we have to fight life is a battle my friend life is a battle my brothers and my sisters understand that today God's chosen people have been back in Jerusalem some 94 years living with torn down walls and the question is why would the Jews be content with torn down walls it wasn't that no one saw the problem it wasn't that the walls were not wanted many people saw the broken walls knew how they have ruined their lives but no one got past the place of wishing their walls were rebuked rebuilt and I agree with Krista green a prolific devotion writer that most Christians walk through life feeling beaten up saying the devil is busy oh my god saying the devil is busy the devil is on my case the interviewers attacking my finances my family my health the devil made me do it that old victim mentality that poor old me mentality we are big bad in church but in everyday life sometimes we live so defeated but I came this morning to declare that we the people of God cannot allow ourselves to experience and continue to remain and have this victim mentality we are overcomers God has confidence in us we are the light of the world we are the salt of the earth we have been given the five keys or the major keys to the kingdom access to divine wisdom and power it's time to fight for our spiritual walls then debt my brothers and my sister that means war and I like Charles Dickens when he said it this way him I got joy in my soul God is in control I got Satan on my trail but I'm singing all is well he's attacking everyday but I'm watching why pray no matter the attack I will not turn back and this means war this mean war I got joy in my soul God is in control I got Satan on my trail but I'm seeing all as well he's attacking everyday but I'm watching while I pray no matter the attack I won't turn back this means war this means war I plead I plead the blood I plead I plead apart I've been in the storm and the rain and but the blood still remains the same whatever is going wrong my war clothes are owned I might be in a daze but you can't have my praise no matter the attack I won't turn back because this Means War This Means War I plead I plead the blood I plead I plead the blood watch this you can't have my family you can't have my increase you can't have my breakthrough I plead I plead the blood I plead I plead the blood This Means War I said This Means War we are called to be warriors but the weapons of our warfare in that corner but they're mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ Jesus might have ridden on a donkey into Jerusalem but when you look at revelation 19 he was a swordsman and a warrior king who rode in on a horse and declaring that victory was he is the builders had a sword on one side as they did every building my brothers and my sisters we must always have a sword of the Holy Spirit bow side which is the word of God our strategy for successful waters warfare is based on what is written no weapons formed against us shall prosper we must keep building and maintaining our spiritual walls while fighting with the Word of God watch this you must read the word you must study the word you must meditate on the word you must memorize the word you must obey the word you must live the word and you must preach the word hallelujah we will find out like Nehemiah our enemy may try to stop us as we rebuild and maintain our walls but they will have to acknowledge God is with us God is with us and the last reason why now is the time to rebuild and maintain our spiritual walls it is because the walls need to connect our God the world needs to connect our God to our walls the walls were completed in 52 days the enemies had to acknowledge that God did it the amount of time it took to finish this job was remarkably short the walls were in ruins for almost 100 years and then they were set right in a period of 52 days this was noted this was no denying that they were empowered by the strength and the power of Almighty God my brothers and my sisters when our spiritual walls are built and maintained there is no denying that we are empowered by God Clark you look different you act different you are more loving God did it whether you are different you don't worry God did it sister you are different you have more joy God did it father you are different you have more patience God did it mother you are different you have stronger faith God did it Junior you are different you have more self-control and discipline God did it teacher you are different you show more kindness God did it police officer you are different little more gentle God did it minister you are different you are sharing more of your godly knowledge God did it my brothers and my sisters our spiritual walls serve as a witness to the reality of a Living God we have someone behind the scenes we have someone backing us we and our triune God have partners our partners in power God is still in charge and he's with us but now is the time not tomorrow but now is the time to rebuild and maintain our spiritual walls if we're going to change the world change our families and change our communities it starts with us know you rebuild and maintain your spiritual wall but let me just raise the general question what condition [Music] is your spiritual wall in what condition does it really represent who God is now sometimes we wonder why God people don't serve God you know why cuz they don't even like us how do we expect them the love and like our God when they don't even love and like us because of our character we're not demonstrating the fruit of the Spirit walls are you loving while you can are you do you demonstrate faith my brothers and my sisters God wanted me to let you know that he wants to move forward in this world that's why I'm so excited about our evangelism playing pastor we need to let the world know that God is a good god we got a little note that he changed our lives I just want to let you know my old southeast boy he came all the way in Southeast DC and he changed me my boy said what's wrong with you o'clock you know God religious I said cuz I can't do what I used to do cuz I've been change by Almighty God have you been changed today have you ever changed a date he's Almighty God he loves us but he has commissioned us and we cannot remain the same I do I dare you to rebuild and then maintain your spiritual wall I dare you to have a strong prayer life studying God's Word and then being obedient to his word cuz guess what we will change this world if we'll do that today I raise a question to you what is the condition of your spiritual wall and I want to say it broadly to everyone in the building have you accepted Christ as your Savior so that you can really get help to build your spiritual wall you can stop the enemy this person that we called the devil in his imps from inundating and destroying your life if you were just receives the savior jesus christ and he'll provide you the empowerment of the Holy Spirit and I'll be honest I walk around I think I'm bad I really do I bet that night back in alternated southeast but you know and it forgive me you know was the colloquial vernacular but sometimes when I look at my Heavenly Father Jesus and the Holy Spirit I didn't my boys that's why I scared cuz I got my boys God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit cuz I know if I can't handle it all I gotta do it look back at one of my boys and look out look out and that's why I tell the devil don't mess with me him cuz I will call on my big brother and his name is Jesus and the Bible says there's no other name given among men whereby we must be saved and they said at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow in heaven and under the earth why because he's Jesus all-powerful Lord Satan I love in the day are you ready to recommit your life to rebuilding and maintaining your spiritual walls we want to open up the door and if you have not received Jesus and the pardoning of your sins I just wanna let you know you we're here your family is here and we're here to share love with you because you we want you to join us in victory with your spiritual life are things going a reskin to your life is the enemy wreaking havoc in your life I just want you to know that you can have support you can because there is a support system along with your brothers and sisters here today there's God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit let's bow our heads for a minute father God you touch hearts today your persons courage the same I need Jesus as my Lord and Savior so that the magic spiritual walls can be built up and that I can make a difference in the decisions that I'm making in my life for not only myself but for my family as well for all the persons in my life and then those that know that they need to rebuild strengthen them to come today to make a commitment just to make a commitment before their brothers and sisters age I will build my walls I will rent make maintain my spiritual walls I will ensure that they are properly inspected and that they are up to the code of the Word of God of your eyes don't you come today is
