Hello Everyone,

Do you seem to get distracted easy form what and who God has called you to do and be? Read with me:

Nehemiah 6:1-4

¹ When word came to Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab and the rest of our enemies that I had rebuilt the wall and not a gap was left in it—though up to that time I had not set the doors in the gates— ² Sanballat and Geshem sent me this message: “Come, let us meet together in one of the villages on the plain of Ono.”

But they were scheming to harm me; ³ so I sent messengers to them with this reply: “I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you?” ⁴ Four times they sent me the same message, and each time I gave them the same answer.

So far the devil has tried to use these tools to keep them from rebuilding the wall:

Ridicule-we will be laughed at but we shouldn't back up or back down.

Discouragement-We sometimes get tired IN the work, but never OF the work.

Bodily harm-threats came but they battled and built with a trowel in one hand and a sword in the other.

Debt-financial bondage won't keep us down if we follow God's money principles.

In chapter 6 the devil tries 4 more things, we'll just look at the first one this week.

Starting tomorrow the tool of distraction.

Until then remember greater things are still to come!

Pastor Phil
