Let us Arise and Build

Despite the relentless opposition of Sanballat and his associates, Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem even in difficult times. But when the enemies saw the wall being built they purposed to attack and prevent it from happening. Therefore, don’t be afraid of the enemy, fight for your brothers, for your children, for your family and for your future.

Speak Faith-filled words! That’s what changes things. They’ll move mountains into the sea. They’ll turn sickness into health. They’ll turn a sinner into a saint. They’ll also take a sin-laden nation and turn it into Gods own country.

That’s right! If we believers would back up the prayers we’ve been praying for this nation with words of faith instead of doubt and discouragement, we’d soon begin to see spiritual revival in our country.

You see, God promised us that if we, His people, would humble ourselves and pray and seek His face and turn from our wicked ways, He would heal our land (2 Chron. 7:14). Now, let me tell you, He’ll do it. Yes, you can take that to the bank! There're people praying all over this country doing just what that promise requires. Join those who are already storming the mercy seat of God and see what great things He’ll do for us.

But, even so, you don’t hear many people saying, “This is great! God is healing the land.” You don’t hear people speaking out by faith the promise of God. Instead, you hear them saying, “Oh my, did you hear what those terrorist are doing?” or some other destructive thing they’ve seen on television.

Listen, if we speak death, we’ll reap death (Prov. 18:21). Stop magnifying what those terrorists and the opposition are doing, and start telling what God is doing! God said He is healing this land. Do you love this country? Stand up for justice, stand up for liberty, stand up for righteousness and be a patriot. The position you take today is creating the future for your children. What will that look like?

We must start speaking about this country by faith instead of going around repeating Fake news all the time. Of course, that will sound odd to most people. Some of them may believe we’ve gone over the edge. But that’s nothing new. Remember, God is a present help in times of trouble (Psa. 46:1).

Let me tell you something. One small group of believers who are listening to, trusting in and speaking out God’s word are more powerful than all the devils on earth.  One small group of believers is more powerful than a whole army of unbelieving doomsday prophets. Their unbelief will not make the faith of God of no effect!

Learn to turn a deaf ear to all the Fake news floating around today. Stay focused on the accomplishments and just start praising and thanking God for His intervention and deliverance. Every word of praise we speak today releases faith in our heart and encourages others.

Demonstrate your God-given faith by taking a firm stand that things are changing for the better in this country. Settle that in your heart right now as you pray and speak it out. “Call forth those things that be not as though they were” (Rom. 4:17); God is healing the land!

All things are possible with God’s help, therefore “Let us arise and build!” (Nehemiah 2:11-20).
