Today I read Nehemiah 6 and really felt like God spoke to my heart about the direction we need to move in for the next 3 Sundays. It all has to do with the 3 battles that Nehemiah faced and how he responded to the attempts of the enemy to distract him. You are going to be the victim of a distraction attempt and we have to be prepared to know how to answer or else we could become a victim.
#1 First challenge: the challenge of purpose
Enemy says, "Meet me in the plains of Ono." Nehemiah replies, "I'm engaged in a great work and can't come. Why should I stop working and meet with you."
- Purpose defines our schedule
- Purpose determines our friends
- Purpose helps us know when to say, "NO"
- Purpose keeps me ending up at Oh no!
Preaching it this Sunday and I'm pumped.
