Days ago I woke up living like Nehemiah in chapter 1: 4 "When I heard these words I sat down and cried, and grieved for a few days, and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven.
Everything that happens today, also happened in ancient times, that is why in the scriptures they are our guide, in these days with some inconveniences I felt like Nehemias, but something that comforted my heart was to know that: I am still the builder of God's plans.There are times like these that we must take off the war suit and put on the builders.

Convinced that the prophetic times are the same, we analyze the situation of Nehemiah.
Nehemiah prays for Jerusalem's distressing situation
The return of Nehemiah to Jerusalem as governor.
The builders of the wall.
Threats to builders:
- The sarcasm that discourages.
- enemy attacks
- Internal disunion
- False accusations.
Completion of the wall.
Synthesis
Nehemiah gave up many things in his personal life by rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem and cementing unity, his work provoked the intense opposition of men, but he overcame the threats, adopting wise defensive measures (4: 1-23). the lack of internal unity through a worthy personal example, and resolved false accusations through clairvoyance and courage (6: 1-14)
Nehemiah leaves us a great lesson in regard to sacrifice and tenacity and above all in prayer.
We can understand that in these last times the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and only the violent take it away, only the brave, the enemy will always rise against God's plans, but just as God was with Nehemia to rebuild those walls, so It is with each of us to rebuild our lives, communities, cities and countries.
We are not paper leaders, and we cannot stop or be intimidated by what the enemy plans, in a past time I was one of the people that when the enemy attacked me began to tremble, and although I believed in God, it weakened me and began to look for Christian friends, pastors to help me pray, but I always suffered a lot, I wondered but why these things happen, until I understood that there comes a time in the lives of people with ministries of fire who have to go out to fight alone , God closed many doors for me, and I found myself alone with him, and in that place, in that intimacy I received all that is needed to overcome, and one day ...
I got tired of crying and asking for prayer for Satan to leave, I myself had to use my authority and say in this war we are you and I, and today in the name of Jesus I will cut off your head.
When the enemy comes to want to destroy the work of God, it is not we who must fear, the enemy must know who has the power, and darkness will never prevail against the light, the light of Christ.
I invite you to read Nehemiah 4: 7-23
New International Version (NIV)
7 But when Sambalat and Tobias, and the Arabs, the Ammonites and the besiegers learned that the reconstruction of the wall was progressing and that we were closing the gaps, they became very angry 8 and agreed to attack Jerusalem and cause riots in it . 9 We prayed then to our God and decided to stand guard day and night to defend ourselves against them.
10 For their part, the people of Judah said:
«Chargers faint,
for there are many rubble;
We won't be able
rebuild this wall! »
11 And our enemies were machining: «We will fall by surprise and kill them; this way we will make the work be suspended ».
In the same way it happens today, Sambalat and Tobias stand up to stop the movement of a work, but today we stand up as children of the highest God to declare a word of blessing for our church and say as the prophet did: “I make a great work" Four times Sanballat tried to get Nehemiah out of the city. Sanballat accused Nehemiah of building the city to become king in it.After several days the walls were rebuilt and Nehemiah began to place order in Jerusalem and rule righteously, teaching the judges and the people to obey the word of God.
The enemy will be ashamed when they see the work that you are going to do in each space that God gives you, because it is God himself acting through us, opening doors that no one can close, a wonderful time of grace and anointing comes for those who believe.
God did the impossible through a man who persevered in his search for him.
God never leaves his children ashamed, so let us walk together in the great vision of God's work, which is unstoppable. Our father is clearing the way we have traveled.
WE ARE THE COSNTRUCTORS OF THE DREAMS OF GOD !!
Steemchurch let's get ready to receive the latter rain !!
