I have a Word for the year for who many would call the remnant, or ones stepping out of the wilderness. I’ve been reading and re-reading the story of Nehemiah, and got a very specific word about re-building.

“The God of heaven will make us prosper and we his servants will arise and build, but you have no portion or right to Jerusalem.”

Nehemiah 2:20

I believe this is a current declaration of the promises of God and a declaration against any and all rights of the Enemy over this season of building. God is asking us to look at what was versus what should be. In order for us to step into what should be we have to embrace forward movement with physical action and supernatural declaration. This is where complacency in the uncomfortable leaves and powerful prayers step in, petitioning God for change based on His character, promises, and goodness. This type of prayer will require action on our part. Repentance, humility, and action are key. We must repent and request, believing in the answer, and take action. God is going to fulfill requests for building, so what is your request? Are you willing to do whatever He requires? In follow through, we are guaranteed a victory and success, because there is a specific decree against the Enemy, that he will have no power to limit God’s reach through us if we are operating in this way. The Enemy has no portion or right in this upcoming season of supernatural release and victory.

Doors are swinging shut, ringing in a finality of old hurts, pains and discouragement. The promises spoken are wide open, ready to be actively received. Forward motion, a turning of the knob, a stepping in is upon us. A beckoning through, a yes forward, our active faith will see us to a rebuilding of everything lost. The only old that will remain is the blocks unto which the maturity of you were built. Every old thing used in your rebuilding will be of eternal and supernatural value, understanding, and power. The ability to combat the lies of the Enemy will be readily available because of the previous season; understanding how the Enemy comes for you, but also standing upon the promises and character of God. In this knowledge you will be victorious in your building season.
