STAND IN THE GAP - Nehemiah Series Part 4

Gap In The Wall: An Opening I Have Allowed Or Created That Is Being Unattended Or Ignored.  OR Anything In My Life That Cooperates With The Enemy’s Plan To Limit Or Destroy God’s Work In And Through Me.    

Nehemiah 4:6-9 (NIV) "So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart. 7But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites and the people of Ashdod heard that the repairs to Jerusalem’s walls had gone ahead and that the gaps were being closed, they were very angry. 8They all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and stir up trouble against it. 9But we prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night to meet this threat."

• Put Your Heart Into It.
• Closed Gaps = No Enemy Access. 
• Closed Gaps Frustrate The Enemy’s Plots Against You.
• We Must Work In Unity. Our Enemy Does.
• Threats Are Met By Prayer And Work. 

Nehemiah 4:13-15 (NIV) "Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows. 14After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.” 15When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to our own work.
