Nehemiah 2:9-20 Let’s Rebuild When God places burdens, directions, or visions on our hearts, we must first spend time in His presence in prayer and careful planning before taking any further steps in that direction. THE SITUATION Recognizing our current spiritual condition is the first step toward bringing about change. THE MOTIVATION God brings certain people into our lives to inspire and encourage us to rise up. When we are open to following God's guidance through His chosen men and women, we will witness the honor He has set aside for us. THE OPPOSITION When God's work begins to be accomplished through us, the devil will rise up to disrupt us. God has not destined us for failure; instead, He will lead us to success.
