~ Building the Spiritual Walls of Jerusalem ~This is a message which God gave to me in about 1998. I was reading in Nehemiah and God revealed this to me from that Book. I recorded this message on tape in August of 1999. Today is March 12, 2005. I felt led of God to take this message off tape and type it up so I can give it out in printed form and also to place it on my computer site.
Most people think of Jerusalem as only the natural Jerusalem land over in the East, but that is only a natural showing. The Word says that the Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the Mother of us all. The Holy New Jerusalem is the people of God when they have been brought into perfection. We see the church in a pitiful, fallen condition today. Now I know there are some sincere people of God in the World. But as a whole the church is away from God, given over to idolatry, steeped in sin and cold, indifferent and into the things of the world. The Word says the Laodician Church is wretched, miserable, blind and naked, and does not even know it. So that is the condition most all churches are in today. They are compromising the things of God, and have picked up a purely social move.
In the Old Testament times everyone had to go to a prophet or prophetess to find out the Word of God. Even the kings had to consult with the prophets to find out what God wanted them to do. Jesus was on this earth for only a short while and people had to go to Him to get God’s Word. But today the only source of having God in your life is to have the Holy Ghost. We have the Written Scriptures, but personally the only way you can contact God is by the Holy Ghost. It is the age of the Spirit.
Now the majority of people do not have any connection with the Holy Ghost. They do not want it, they scorn it, they mock it, but you will never have God in your life without the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is the anointing which teaches you. You need not that any man teach you, but the anointing in you will teach you the Word of God. But very few people have that anointing teaching them. That is why these types of teaching ministries are necessary.
I am trying to help people learn how to get into God’s Word and study and learn the truth. You need to fast and pray and ask God to give you the knowledge of the Word. He said seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you.
Now I am going to teach a lesson from the Book of Nehemiah. Chapter one. Nehemiah was a cupbearer for the King in the palace of Shushan, in the Persian Empire. He was very concerned about his people back home in Jerusalem. Someone came to visit Nehemiah, and he asked them how things were at home in Jerusalem. They told Nehemiah that the remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.
Neh 1:4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,
Nehemiah became very concerned about the terrible condition of Jerusalem and her people. Now that is where we should be. When you look around and see the church and the countries of the world and our own country in the terrible spiritual condition that they are in, we should become very alarmed. We should fast and pray and determine in our own hearts to do something about this terrible condition. Now that is what this message will be about.
Listen and learn from this great prayer Nehemiah prayed to God when he learned about the desolation in Jerusalem: Ne 1:5 And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments: 1:6 Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.
Ne 1:7 We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.
Ne 1:8 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations: 1:9 But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.
Ne 1:10 Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.
Ne 1:11 O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer.
Now this prayer is a parallel of the true condition of the Church. At first the Church was true to God, in the days of the Apostles. But as time passed, they fell away and back into sin. God then let them be scattered upon all the hills [different denominations]. There they lost all sight of the truth and the pure religion of the Holy Ghost. But God has promised that if they will return to their resting place = the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, that He will gather them from all those false churches and bring them back unto His chosen place of salvation = Pentecost.
When the Church fell away from the truth of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost along with all the gifts of the Spirit, this was the same thing as when the natural walls of the natural Jerusalem were torn down and burned with fire. The truth ,which was the power of that first Church, was destroyed and idolatry replaced it. So now we see the Church with her walls torn down and no life or protection there for her. Satan came in and demolished that Church and stripped her of her life and power.
Notice that Nehemiah prayed for God to prosper him and grant him mercy in the sight of the king whom he served. So see, no matter what our condition in life is, we can seek God’s help and He will move on people around us to do what is necessary for us to do the work of God.
When Nehemiah again gave the wine to the king, the king noticed that he was sad whereas he had not been sad before. The king asked Nehemiah why he was so sad. Then Nehemiah told the king about the terrible condition of his city of Jerusalem.
Ne 2:4 Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven. 2:5 And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.
Notice here that when the king asked Nehemiah what his request was, he first prayed to God before he answered the king. This is what we need to learn to do. We should always first pray and ask for God’s help and guidance. Trust not in thine own understanding. So the king gave Nehemiah permission and the help he needed to go back to Jerusalem to help rebuild the town and the walls and the temple.
Ne 2:11 So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days. 2:12 And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon. 2:13 And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire. 2:14 Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king's pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass. 2:15 Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned.
Now I see in the above Scripture how the very same thing has happened in my own life. Nehemiah went out by night alone, and saw the broken down gates and walls and the desolation of Jerusalem. God called me out of church many years ago. Since that time I have come to see the total desolation and destruction of the spiritual walls and temple of the church today. I feel the very same desire to awake the people of God and get them to rebuilding the Spiritual walls of the Church. Get back to the power of God. Get back to the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and the truth of God’s word.
Ne 2:16 And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work. 2:17 Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.
The above is also true with me. The rulers of the Church have no idea what I am doing. They know not how God has revealed the fall of the OT Covenant to me and how it has now also happened to the church. They see not the destruction of the church, for they are looking at the fake prosperity of the church. They see large bank accounts, expensive buildings, large parsonages, and big congregations. They consider this proof that God is with them. They know not that it is in reality the evil god, Satan, who has led them into thinking money, great buildings and large groups of people, are the true church. They know not that the loss of the power of God from the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, is their destruction. But God has let me see this. They know not that they are teaching lies and commandments of men, and calling it from God. But God has let me see it is lies and the same thing spiritually as the burned and torn down walls of the natural Jerusalem.
I see the churches naked, blind and desolate condition. I long to see the truth and the pure walls of the New Jerusalem rebuilt. I desire to help rebuild these true walls of the Holy Church of Pentecost.
Ne 2:18 Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.
See, when Nehemiah told them how God was with him they said, Let us rise up and build. So they made ready to work and rebuild the walls and the city. Now that is what God has shown me. We must all accept truth again and rise up and do what is necessary to again rebuild the spiritual walls and city which began on the Day of Pentecost.
Ne 2:19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?
Ne 2:20 Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.
Notice there were some who hated to see these people attempt to rebuild Jerusalem. They hated Jerusalem. That is exactly what I have run into every time I attempt to show people the truth and how the church today is in a fallen condition and needs to return to its original state. They hate the very thought of anyone again being filled with the Baptism of the true Holy Ghost. They hate the thought of anyone again being filled with the power of God to perform miracles and speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives them utterance. But I am telling you, God will restore. God will again have a true Witness of His power on this earth. God will bring again that which has been destroyed and lost. Will you be with them or against them?
Notice the faith and assurance with which Nehemiah witnessed to their enemies and told them they have no portion nor right in what God is doing. That is exactly what I am telling people. You cannot stop God from bringing a people back into true faith and power. But all the doubters will be left out. You have no portion in this New Jerusalem God is going to build.
Nehemiah had told them to come and help build up the wall of Jerusalem so they would no more be a reproach. See then that the church being in the dead, lifeless, powerless condition that it is in today is a reproach. All who love God should rise up and build with me. Help rebuild these true Spiritual walls. There is only one way to do this. I am asking all who read this to get into the truth of the Word and rise up and BUILD.
I want to do as Nehemiah did. I want to inspire people to become enthused rise up and work to get the power of God back. I am going to show you here what is necessary to rebuild the Holy Wall of our Jerusalem [true Church]. I want to see others become inspired and willing to join in this great work.
You can rest assured that as you begin to seek God and have the power of God return into your lives, that there will be the enemies who will mock you, scorn you and try to stop you just as some did to Nehemiah and his workers. But you will have to be determined you will go on with God and not let these unbelievers stand in your way. We are looking for an eternal city. We are seeking eternal life and a glorified body. We cannot let Satan’s army stop us. RISE UP AND BUILD.
In this glorified body we will never have any grief, pain or heartache. It is worth anything we must go through to reach this eternal goal. Do not allow anyone with their doubts and false doctrine to stand in your way. Press on. RISE UP AND BUILD.
Determine to become a part of God’s might army which will receive the power from on High again and march through the land and turn people back to God. I want to be one of those who helps turn people back to truth and tear the idols of our land down. Idolatry in the church is the main thing which has stripped you of the glorious power and faith of God.
Now by communing with God, Nehemiah received a revelation of how this great work could be done. Jerusalem was such a large city and there were not many people there. Very few houses were there. There seemed to be no way to rebuild the walls around this huge city. The people were far apart. All the gates were torn down. It would take a lot of work to rebuild all the gates and the wall. But the people were few and they were scattered from each other.
Now that is the condition we are in today. The true people of God are so few and so far apart that it may look like an impossible task. But as I read this, God revealed to me how we can accomplish this for God. I myself personally am all alone. God called me out of every church I was ever in. I do not have a husband. All my children are grown and married. I am all alone. Therefore the saints of God, which He has called out, we are all alone. The workers are few and we are far apart on the wall. But we can work and we can rebuild the spiritual wall of the Holy City Jerusalem.
Now Nehemiah set the people to work repairing the part of the wall where they lived. In Chapter three it tells the names of the families and the names of the gates and how they built the part of the wall and the gates near their own homes. Each person would repair the part of the wall near their home. They would set up the gates, the locks, the towers and completely finish their portion of the wall. Each person did this: repaired the section of the wall near where they lived. It was a beautiful work of harmony. There were people at work all around this huge city, repairing their part of the wall.
After much work they had half of the wall built. The gates and locks had been set up.
Now I want to show you verse 12.
Ne 3:12 And next unto him repaired Shallum the son of Halohesh, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem, he and his daughters.
Now most people think that women cannot be in the ministry. But as I have taught in many messages, this is total error. In Revelation it shows that both men and women will be in the end-time ministry. Joel also prophesied that both men and women are in this work. Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy.
This man did not have sons, so he and his daughters worked together on their part of the wall. His daughters helped rebuild part of this wall. So, women, do not allow anyone to stand in your way with their false doctrine. Get in here and work to rebuild YOUR part of this great wall of the Holy Jerusalem. Claim your place in God. Receive you the HOLY GHOST. Prophesy! Teach! Preach! Be a witness for God.! That is why this is written in this Scripture -- to show you precious daughters of God that YOU TOO CAN HELP REBUILD JERUSALEM. You can do what God has shown needs to be done.
We women can fast and pray. We can learn the truth of God’s Word and we CAN teach it to others. We can be filled with the gifts of the Spirit and we can join this great work. You can do just as I am doing right now. You can study the Word and God will reveal the deep secrets of His Word to you DAUGHTERS OF GOD. You can have just as much a part of this great work as the Sons of God can. Do not allow anyone to cause you to lose out on this gift of God to you daughters. You can help rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. The thing which has to be done is sanctify your personal life.

We women can fast and pray. We can learn the truth of God’s Word and we CAN teach it to others. We can be filled with the gifts of the Spirit and we can join this great work. You can do just as I am doing right now. You can study the Word and God will reveal the deep secrets of His Word to you DAUGHTERS OF GOD. You can have just as much a part of this great work as the Sons of God can. Do not allow anyone to cause you to lose out on this gift of God to you daughters. You can help rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. The thing which has to be done is sanctify your personal life.
