GLORYHAVING A CONSTANT GOOD

OPINION AND BEING IN RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD

NEHEMIAH 1:1-51 THE WORDS OF NEHEMIAH THE SON OF HACHALIAH. IT CAME TO PASS IN THE MONTH OF CHISLEV, IN THE TWENTIETH YEAR, AS I WAS IN SHUSHAN THE CITADEL, 2 THAT HANANI ONE OF MY BRETHREN CAME WITH MEN FROM JUDAH; AND I ASKED THEM CONCERNING THE JEWS WHO HAD ESCAPED, WHO HAD SURVIVED THE CAPTIVITY, AND CONCERNING JERUSALEM. 3 AND THEY SAID TO ME, “THE SURVIVORS WHO ARE LEFT FROM THE CAPTIVITY IN THE PROVINCE ARE THERE IN GREAT DISTRESS AND REPROACH.

NEHEMIAH 1:1-5THE WALL OF JERUSALEM IS ALSO BROKEN DOWN, AND ITS GATES ARE BURNED WITH FIRE.” 4 SO IT WAS, WHEN I HEARD THESE WORDS, THAT I SAT DOWN AND WEPT, AND MOURNED FOR MANY DAYS; I WAS FASTING AND PRAYING BEFORE THE GOD OF HEAVEN. 5 AND I SAID: “I PRAY, LORD GOD OF HEAVEN, O GREAT AND AWESOME GOD, YOU WHO KEEP YOUR COVENANT AND MERCY WITH THOSE WHO LOVE YOU AND OBSERVE YOUR COMMANDMENTS,

NEHEMIAH 1:1111 O LORD, I PRAY, PLEASE LET YOUR EAR BE ATTENTIVE TO THE PRAYER OF YOUR SERVANT, AND TO THE PRAYER OF YOUR SERVANTS WHO DESIRE TO FEAR YOUR NAME; AND LET YOUR SERVANT PROSPER THIS DAY, I PRAY, AND GRANT HIM MERCY IN THE SIGHT OF THIS MAN.” FOR I WAS THE KING’S CUPBEARER.

THE RECOGNITION WALLS ARE TORN DOWN

AND THE GATES ARE BURNED

LEAVE YOUR COMFORT ZONE AND FOLLOW GOD’S CALLING

PHILIPPIANS 2:5-85 LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU WHICH WAS ALSO IN CHRIST JESUS, 6 WHO, BEING IN THE FORM OF GOD, DID NOT CONSIDER IT ROBBERY TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD, 7 BUT MADE HIMSELF OF NO REPUTATION, TAKING THE FORM OF A BONDSERVANT, AND COMING IN THE LIKENESS OF MEN. 8 AND BEING FOUND IN APPEARANCE AS A MAN, HE HUMBLED HIMSELF AND BECAME OBEDIENT TO THE POINT OF DEATH, EVEN THE DEATH OF THE CROSS.

THE REPRESENTATIVE WHO IS WILLING TO WEEP

AND THE BURDEN TO BUILD

HEBREWS 4:15-1615 FOR WE DO NOT HAVE A HIGH PRIEST WHO CANNOT SYMPATHIZE WITH OUR WEAKNESSES, BUT WAS IN ALL POINTS TEMPTED AS WE ARE, YET WITHOUT SIN. 16 LET US THEREFORE COME BOLDLY TO THE THRONE OF GRACE, THAT WE MAY OBTAIN MERCY AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED.

HE RAISED HIS WORD AND HUMBLED HIMSELF

HEBREWS 9:11-1211 BUT CHRIST CAME AS HIGH PRIEST OF THE GOOD THINGS TO COME, WITH THE GREATER AND MORE PERFECT TABERNACLE NOT MADE WITH HANDS, THAT IS, NOT OF THIS CREATION. 12 NOT WITH THE BLOOD OF GOATS AND CALVES, BUT WITH HIS OWN BLOOD HE ENTERED THE MOST HOLY PLACE ONCE FOR ALL, HAVING OBTAINED ETERNAL REDEMPTION.
