“Walls” by Dave Bessey

Jerusalem…wall.

What kind of wall are you building? Many today are building spiritual dead walls that will crumble under the Sakai g of the last days. You foundation is importantly.neven more important is who builds it. Hay, wood and stubble or on the Rock. Ephesian says:

Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬-‭22‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬

“Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands), that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it. He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near. For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God, being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone; in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.”

That middle wall of separation in the temple, the division between the common an the Holy of Holies has been destroyed by Christ. We not only have access, He indwells us now. The better wall of protection was built by Christ around us all. He is our mighty fortress. As Nehemiah rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem we are not only call to rebuild the same wall, we are called to tear down the walls of hell. We must see ourselves advancing the Kingdom of God victoriously in all the earth realm. We are the stronghold of the King of kings and Lord of lord, Yahweh of Armies, Jesus the Christ. Are you building based on His plans with His materials, in a love covenant, which was established by Christ? Abetter relationship. A better word through the blood of the Lamb of God. Don’t build walls of division through pride, build walls of protection…by love.

Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭18‬-‭29‬ ‭LEB‬‬

“For you have not come to something that can be touched, and to a burning fire, and to darkness, and to gloom, and to a whirlwind, and to the noise of a trumpet, and to the sound of words which those who heard begged that not another word be spoken to them. For they could not endure what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.” And the spectacle was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.” But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to tens of thousands of angels, to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous people made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks better than Abel’s does. Watch out that you do not refuse the one who is speaking! For if those did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on earth, much less will we escape, if we reject the one who warns from heaven, whose voice shook the earth at that time, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also heaven.” Now the phrase “yet once more” indicates the removal of what is shaken, namely, things that have been created, in order that the things that are not shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be thankful, through which let us serve God acceptably, with awe and reverence. For indeed our God is a consuming fire.”
