Different Priesthood....
as I am reading the chapter VI. Zion...the city of God , Holy Spirit is helping me to understand that God is heavily concerned with restoration of His children back to covenant and faith in Him. As any of us rebell against God's covenant, the cost is captivity. God through a clarion call, is calling His sons back to covenant. He is calling us back from systems that we choose over choosing Him. Moving forward, Holy Spirit shows me the depth of one Nehemiah. I didn't understand the importance of Nehemiah then and now. So here goes what Holy Spirit shows me from this chapter. During a necessary rebuild, the adversary shows up. If you have noticed upheaval in your life, body going through attacks, finances are in question, family members are in question, just know that the rebuild within you is more important than you know. The building of a habitation within importance stretches far beyond you. Nehemiah got permission from God and the king. So Nehemiah discovers enemies of the flesh kind. Deal with your flesh swiftly. Put it on the altar and cry to God to consume all of it. Stay in consistent prayer, worship. Watch out for your mouth, don't complain about the effects of the rebuild. Listen intently to Holy Spirit counsels because the adversary will use threats to distract you in the rebuild. Stay in unity and harmony with your brothers/sisters during the rebuild. Have the weapon of worship and obedience in one hand and the weapon of cooperation with Holy Spirit during the rebuild in the other hand.
Amen
