Nehemiah 4:13

Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

Recently, the picture thats been in my heart when I think of the Army of God and the Army of God arising is a picture of Nehemiah building the wall with swords in their hands. Sometimes, I think that our warfare is in our building. There is something about what Nehemiah was doing and the threat it constituted to the enemies, all he was doing was building but it was a threat.

There is something about rebuilding the walls of Zion that it sends a message that this nation is strong and can defend its own. That thing has a meaning, there is something about Jerusalem being without walls and being surrounded with walls and the gates being in place. There is something about the walls being in place. There is something about a surrounded city, there is something about the gates being in place. 

Satan is threatened by your building, by your growth and development. He is threatened about kingdom resources being made available to you, about the stones of Zion being used in your building. 

Revelation 21:11 -12

Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

There is something about this formidable city, having high walls and twelve gates. God is committed to our building this season. These gates were gates of pearls standing for Kingdom revelation. There is a commitment of God to us this season to deliver the treasures of the kingdom to us and it is in real time, it is your posture, your stand towards things, the way you respond to situations. 

The Lord is giving us stones of building, stones of revelation. You may wonder to what end has been all my teachings and revelations but every leading and every revelation is for a time such as this. God is building this house in this season, God is raising lively stones. It is that every man may be presented perfect in all wisdom. 

There is something about wisdom that relates to our erection, our rising in the Spirit. There is a promise in revelation, to everyone who is thirsty. Blessed are they who hunger after righteousness for they shall be filled. 

Lord, we thank You for accurate building, accurate positioning, wisdom to know which weapon to use per time. We thank You for skill. We thank You our God. 

We thank You for timely deliveries of the Spirit. Thank you for skill to wield the sword of the Spirit. Thank You for accuracy. 

I see burning hearts, I see hearts that are aflame for God. I see flaming hearts for God. I see men of skill, men of understanding, men who are skilled. 

There is a picture in Nehemiah, some people were building and some people were watching with their swords. 

I perceive the hosts of heaven watching with their swords and they say let the building continue. Let this growth continue, this rising will continue, this shift will not be stopped. Distractions are judged, offence will be judged.
