Building Up The Wall And I Can't Come Down

There were many opportunities to quit building the wall because of all the opposition, but they just kept on building.

We are always going to face opposition in one way or another, but just stay the course, keep building the wall and some day you will finish the job and get the reward.

Building walls is very hard work, but if you want to keep the enemy out and you and your family inside safe and sound then you must keep your sword attached to your side and your work gloves on.

Walls have more than one purpose. One is to keep the enemy out, and the other to keep you safe inside.

Material used in building your wall is very important.

The wall is going to have to be built with material that that the enemy can not break through.

Let the material you use be bathed in the blood of Jesus. Let your faith, works, determination, all of your efforts be based on what Jesus did at Calvary.

Satan can not come through the blood, so the safest place to be is covered in the blood of Jesus.

Isa 26:1 says that its;

Salvation (that) God appoint for walls and bulwarks.

They didn’t use pebbles. They used rocks. Rocks that they knew would keep the enemy out.

What are you doing to keep the enemy away from you and your family?

Are you saved? Do you pray? Are you allowing God to work in your life?

You need to build a wall.

If the first two of the three little pigs had built their house out of stones, like the third did, they would have save themselves a lot of turmoil, fear and almost being eaten.

It’s not a question of whether you will need the wall. It’s a question of when.

1 Peter 5:8-9

because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith,

This power comes only through your relationship with Christ.

Building your relationship with Christ takes more than an occasional visit to church and glancing at the Word of God every once and a while.

If you want to keep the enemy out, then its going to take utilizing faith, prayer, its going to take being busy about the Master’s business.

Its going to take a working faith in God.

To fall away, give up, backslide, quit or just have a loose relationship would mean that there must be a hole or breech in your wall.

If you will add these ingredients to your mortar, there will be no battering ram or any weapon that the devil can use to get through your wall.

2 Peter 1:5-11

add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
