Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.

Summary

After God gives you the wisdom and favor to rebuild broken areas of your life, you need spiritual wisdom to protect what has been erected. God places intercessors and Watchmen on the wall to spiritually discern threats and push back darkness through targeted prayer. When you commit to standing on the wall and interceding for others, God faithfully protects and covers you and your own household in return.

When you stay in position on the wall praying for others, God takes responsibility for watching over and protecting you.

Sermon Moments

“Nehemiah put gates and guards in place to protect what had been erected so he wouldn't fall into the complacency trap.”

“Your spiritual life isn't the only important part of your life, but it is the most important because it affects everything else.”

“You need principles and the presence of God; you need truth and fire to truly thrive.”

“When intercessors discern something is wrong and haven't been taught what to do with the gift, they become prone to gossip instead of prayer.”

“If you will stay on the wall and watch out for others, God promises that He will watch out for you.”

“What you make happen for another person, God will make happen for you.”

This Week

Identify what God has recently rebuilt or restored in your life and pray daily for its protection.

Ask God to raise up faithful Watchmen and intercessors to pray for your life, family, and ministry.

When God alerts you to something negative or unsettling about someone, immediately turn it into prayer rather than gossip.

Commit to getting back into your spiritual position on the wall if spiritual warfare or fatigue caused you to stop praying.

Set aside dedicated daily time to study, interpret, and apply the Scriptures to strengthen your spiritual foundation.

Choose specific leaders, friends, or family members to consistently cover in intercessory prayer throughout this week.

Trust God's promise in Ephesians 6:8 that as you make protection happen for others through prayer, He will cover your own life.

Remember This

Rebuilding your life is only half the battle; you must stand on the wall in intercessory prayer to protect what God has erected.

A Challenge for You

Spiritual warfare may have discouraged you and caused you to step down, but this is your moment to get back in position on the wall and intercede for others.
