If we are a people who cry out, “take not Thy Holy Spirit from me”, if we should be a people after the Lord’s own heart, then we are a people who willingly take instruction, correction and rebuke. For it is the Holy Spirit who corrects, leads and guides us into all Truth. The Holy Spirit ushers us to Jesus, and even unto a rod for rebuke.

Therefore, do not confuse the fruit or attribute of being loving when it is only with those who you like or are friends with. Servant leadership isn’t about your kingdom, it’s about the Lord’s Kingdom.

Then why are so many who are among the deligated and favored the ones who consistently give their eyes and ears to only those who are within their own groups and cliques? You are not Jesus to those around you, you are a reflection of self or the image you hope others will see. Some test you with their own tricks and agendas under a ‘covering’ of the Holy Spirit, ultimately using Him and so become deceived themselves. And yet praise is given and the actions and attitudes are affirmed, grounding the dysfunctional cycle. At the core it’s religious and pharisaical. All the while a false sense of unity is like wool over the eye, and you can not see that you are divided by the fear of man and it is delaying the plan of the Lord. How quickly we all forget we are The Body of the Lord. And yet whether favored or unfavored, maturity is required and even demanded for the narrow road we must go to carry our cross, and plead, ‘lead us Lord’!

Oh stubborn man, a house divided can not stand!

Forgive us Jesus, for we have sinned against you.

Church. We are failing. Big time.
It all needs to fall apart.

Let if fall

Let it crumble

Let the Nehemiah’s and Hananiah’s arise and lead and restore in Heaven’s wisdom and Fear of the Lord.

Nehemiah means “Yah comforts” in Hebrew and Hananiah means “Yah has favored” in Hebrew. Soon the tables will turn, and the Lord will set His appointed men in command by His Command; those who will bring comfort to Him, for they are men after His own heart and those who Fear His Holy Name.

The Lord God is the Judge, and His very gavel will break apart and shatter all the works of man. May we fear His Holy Name again and rebuild upon the Chief Cornerstone and the spiritual plain of our “forefathers of the faith”.

“But He, well aware of their thoughts and purpose, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is doomed to destruction; and a house divided against itself falls.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭11‬:‭17‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“And if a house is divided (split into factions and rebelling) against itself, that house will not be able to last.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭3‬:‭25‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

“The words of Nehemiah son of Hacaliah: Now it happened in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year [of the Persian king], as I was in the capitol of Susa, Hanani, one of my brothers, and some men from Judah came; and I asked them about the surviving Jews who had escaped and survived the captivity, and about Jerusalem. They said to me, “The remnant there in the province who survived the captivity are in great distress and reproach; the wall of Jerusalem is broken down and its [fortified] gates have been burned (destroyed) by fire.” Now it came about when I heard these words, I sat down and wept and mourned for days; and I was fasting and praying [constantly] before the God of heaven. And I said, “Please, O Lord God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps the covenant and lovingkindness for those who love Him and keep His commandments, please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open to hear the prayer of Your servant which I am praying before You, day and night, on behalf of Your servants, the sons (descendants) of Israel (Jacob), confessing the sins of the sons of Israel which we have committed against You; I and my father’s house have sinned. We have acted very corruptly against You and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses. Please remember the word which You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful and violate your obligations to Me I will scatter you [abroad] among the peoples; but if you return to Me and keep My commandments and do them, though those of you who have been scattered are in the most remote part of the heavens, I will gather them from there and will bring them to the place where I have chosen for My Name to dwell.’ Now they are Your servants and Your people whom You have redeemed by Your great power and by Your strong hand. Please, O Lord, let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and the prayer of Your servants who delight to [reverently] fear Your Name [Your essence, Your nature, Your attributes, with awe]; and make Your servant successful this day and grant him compassion in the sight of this man [the king].” For I was cupbearer to the king [of Persia].” ‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭11‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“In the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was placed before him, I took the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had not [previously] been sad in his presence. So the king said to me, “Why do you look sad when you are not sick? This is nothing but sadness of heart.” Then I was very frightened, and I said to the king, “Let the king live forever. Why should my face not be sad when the city, the place of my fathers’ tombs, lies desolate and its gates have been consumed by fire?” The king said to me, “What do you request?” So I prayed to the God of heaven. I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your presence, [I ask] that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, so that I may rebuild it.”” ‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“Now when the wall had been rebuilt and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites had been appointed, I put my brother Hanani, with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem, for Hananiah was a more faithful and God-fearing man than many [of the others].” Nehemiah‬ ‭7‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ AMP

“The [reverent] fear of the Lord [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of wisdom [its starting point and its essence], And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding and spiritual insight.”‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭9‬:‭10‬ ‭AMP‬‬
