25. Keep it Simple: Nehemiah 6

In this episode we see some more true leadership in Nehemiah chapter 6 for this weeks Keep it Simple.

As we see in Nehemiah 6 and in todays time God works in patterns and if you're faithful and a little stubborn when it comes to the devils attacks you'll accomplish the task set before you with the help of God.  In Nehemiah chapter 6 we see our leader, Nehemiah, continue to fight to get the wall built around Jerusalem and not back down.  His enemies try to lure him out of the city, make fake news claims about him wanting to overthrow the government and become king, send false prophets to tell him there's an assassination attempt on his life, and use their good old boy system to send letters to him to intimidate him.  What do we see though, we see Nehemiah standing firm in God's plan for him, we see a good form of stubborness being used to defeat the devil and his plans.  We also see a man in Nehemiah that trusts God and stays fervent in prayer and listens for discernment.  Do we know of any leaders now days that have these traits or do we have leaders that are more like the enemies of Nehemiah, looking to steal, kill, and destroy for their benefit.  We live in a time where we need more men and women like Nehemiah to stand up and build not only physical walls but spiritual walls around their families, friends, and neighbors and be stubborn about it to the point that it is annoying.  It's time we push forward like Nehemiah did and don't let the plans of the enemy distract us from the ultimate goal and take us away from the glory of God Almighty.
