Good Morning Blogging, Rebuilding, Servants of the Lord! Huh? What's that mean? Well, first you are reading this blog so you are a blogger. So, what's the rest? We are "rebuilders of the Lord" We are His instruments of deliverance, encouragement, prayer and servants rebuilding His Kingdom and bringers of revival! AMEN! Can you see it and feel it! revival is at hand! God has called to rebuild churches (even our church) that have been fading to irrelevance and disrepair. We are sent to seek and help rebuild broken lives too. Can you see how God is using us to be art of these new things He is doing? He is! PTL! Many are being stirred to things of God and just need an invite, a prayerful push, and maybe even a walk with them to new life, recommitment, revival and becoming disciple making disciples of Jesus. He created, molded, saved, gifted and empowered YOU for such a time as this and has gathered US to go together and change the world around us. We are made for such a time as this and God does have great plans for you, us and those yet to come! PTL! Who is coming to mind? What will you do about that? Who are your teammates? Call some and plan some things! The holidays are a perfect time as people are more open to an invite. What dreams and visions has He given you to share with us? Do it! I'm praying for you and God is pinching and moving and wanting to lead us to his perfect plans. Come! See! Share! Go and grow! Amen!
We are in the midst of lifting all month from random passages of Scripture that God has led me to study with you with . One of the passages considered was Nehemiah, the rebuilder of the temple (with the help of God and many and with many answered prayers) Much was lifted along the way and at the completion of those wall being rebuilt. And much attack and negativity was tossed their way as they proceed to trust and follow God. PTL! We may still study the book of Nehemiah after the New Year. It is a great study on Godly leadership and following and trusting God through hard times. I'm still praying into this week's study but it will probably be from Isaiah 43 and other life verses of mine (and some of yours too). However, Nehemiah came up in my I to We devotional for and I have to pause and lay aside our other devos for you to engage with and focus in on this for .
The devo really got me thinking and God spoke to my heart and is leading me to share this with you, especially these questions to ponder: Are we good listeners that follow God ASAP as he leads? Have you identified someone with a need that needs you to listen to before responding? (This will require reading Nehemiah) What were Nehemiah's priorities as he led the people of God to rebuild the temple walls? And Why would he come back to a holy city in such disrepair and hope for good to come from a broken people? Now that question stopped me in my tracks and caused me to praise God for how He has used me and transformed our fellowship from decline to advancing and growing. How has God change you and us the past few years? Really think about that! It should cause much being lifted to God for His help, answered prayers and our unity of purpose and focus that is producing great fruit! Yes PTL! Can you see it? Thanks surely are not as they were and prayerfully never will be as we have moved and continue to move towards the new things of God--together!
We came out of Covid, unlike most other churches! We were holding our own and even though we lost a few, we also gained a few teammates. People were very lonely (still are ) and God has led us to use our gifts and His provisions to bless them and fellowship and encourage. PTL! The walls of our temple are being rebuilt into a House of Prayer for the nations! PTL! New life and new fruit are coming alive! PTL! We are discovering our gifts and roles in God's Good News delivery Company and more are stepping into them! PTL! people are being drawn to God through our faithfulness to be His hands and feet and step into our anointing's! PTL! We have a new church forming out of our gatherings! PTL! And we are involved with a new house church forming with Adam and Michelle Roberts leading! PTL! Yes God is on the move! And we are walking with Him more fully to revival! PTL! And to borrow a line from the Chosen: "We were one way and now another and the thing that happened in between was Him [Jesus]" PTL! We are rebuilding, servants of the Lord! PTL! And he is responding to our faithfulness and filling us with much , joy and growing faith! Yes PTL! Rejoice!
Talk to God about all of this and lift your own offering of praise! Sing a new song to Him! Amen!
