When The Walls Give Way

Que Haremos Con Nuestras Murallas Tumbadas

Nehemiah 1

Nehemiah’s Prayer

 1 The words of Nehemiah son of Hakaliah:    In the month of Kislev in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa, 2 Hanani, one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant that had survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem.

 3 They said to me, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.”

 4 When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven.

NEHEMIAH 1:1-10

• We Remember Who We Are (And WHO we belong to)

• In spite of position (v.10, cupbearer, or 2nd in command, to the king), in spite of prosperity, in spite of power, Nehemiah did not forget who he was and where he had come from

When The Walls Give Way, Recordamos Quienes Somos

•Confesamos Nuestra Culpabilidad (vv. 4, 6, 7)

•In place of the blame game, we practice self-examination and humility

WE CONFESS OUR BROKENNESS

•We Depend Upon God (vv. 10, 110

•No Ponemos El Coche Ante El Caballo. The Cart Before the Horse.

•We Aren’t Ready Until GOD Has Made Us Ready!!

CONFIAMOS EN DIOS

•When God Makes Us Ready We are fit to deal with Kings (v. 10)

•We are a ROYAL Priesthood, A Chosen Nation,

The PEOPLE OF GOD
