Let me Ask you, if a prison gate is broken down, can the prisoners not safely walk out of the prison? YES THEY CAN. But yet, the Psalmist says, God broke down the Gates, and He cut the Bars, Asunder. Halleluyah! What does this tell us? The entire Prison was brought down! Halleluyah! It does not exist anymore. He removed the Gates, He cut down the bars of Iron. The Prison don’t exist anymore. Halleluyah!
Despite all of Sanballat’s attempt to break Nehemiah’s focus and stop the work of God (as recorded in the book of Nehemiah), he failed woefully. Nehemiah kept his focus on the vision, drew his strength from God and wouldn’t rest until the glory of the temple in Jerusalem was restored. In spite of strong oppositions, Nehemiah delivered the vision. You too can do same.
to ‘Put on The Whole Armor of God’ is to be totally, completely, fully dressed (and protected) with God’s spiritual covering.
How do we do this?
You have to be careful how you respond to people’s interpretation of events happening around you. When God sends the things/people you need, it may not always look right or appropriate to onlookers, however it is your understanding of what is happening that matters. Because your understanding will determine your response.
Israel lacked spiritual sensitivity and understanding as to the exact description and role of the Messiah. They missed the who, when and how of their expectation. Hence they didn’t recognize the time of their visitation, and so couldn’t engage their faith to seize and embrace their long awaited Messianic Hope. Thankfully it wasn’t all of Israel that was spiritually insensitive at the time. The Bible speaks of Simeone’s relationship with the Holy Spirit and how this sharpened his spiritual sensitivity, helping him recognize the Messiah even at A Baby, INFANTILE stage….
God will do all He can to reach you, however He needs your faith (and cooperation) to save, deliver, prosper and heal you.
Child of God, you are the righteous, you are as bold as the lion. You are courageous, confident, fierce in spirit, not easily intimidated, in-charge, in control, strong (in the power of the Holy Ghost).
a gentle and quiet spirit is of great worth to God
