Speaker 1 (00:00):
We've all experienced having our heart broke at some point
in time in our lives. And we're going to read
about a young man whose heart was broken over a condition,
over a condition that he saw, that he heard about,
and that he wanted to respond to. And so I
want you to grab your bible, get your notebook. So
(00:20):
we got a scripture foundation. If you have your bible,
turn with me to Niamyah chapter one, verse three and four.
Neamyah chapter one, verses three and four. We're going to
look at these two verses, and then we're going to
call some other verses in as well, and those verses
are going to anchor us back to this text. Nea
Mayah chapter one, verse three through four. Shout out to
(00:43):
everybody who's joining us. Really appreciate you. Guys. Here we go,
and they said to me, who is me? Neamyah? And
they said to me, the remnant there in the province,
who has survived exile is in great trouble and shame.
The Wall of Jerusalem. Get this, it's broken down and
(01:05):
its gates are destroyed by fire. As soon as I
Nea Mayah heard these words, I Nea Mayah sat down
and wept and mourned for days, and I Nea Maiyah
(01:26):
continued fasting and praying before the God of Heaven. Let
me give you a power word before we get started.
Our power word for this lesson is going to be desolation,
but we're going to flip it. Everybody typed the word
desolation in the chat, but watch this. Desolation is just
(01:47):
to prelude to your restoration. What you're about to learn, family,
in the next few minutes, you're going to you're going
to discover the wall of devastating news. The First War
is the wall of devastating news. Nia. And my chapter one,
verse three eight. So what I'm gonna do is I'm
gonna go through and I'm gonna break the verse down
(02:08):
in parts, and we're gonna extract the meaning and the
application and how we can apply it to our lives.
So near my chapter one, verse three eight, the remnant
there in the province, who had survived the exile is
in great trouble and shame. So let's break this down.
(02:30):
The word remnant in Hebrew means the survivors. So these
people weren't casualties, they were conquerors. The remnant were the
people who made it through captivity. So get this they're
able to make it through captivity only to find themselves
(02:51):
in another situation. Watch this. You can survive the battle
and still be stuck in the aftermath. You can survive
the captivity and still be stuck in the aftermath. Question
for you, have you ever survived something that left you
(03:13):
in worse shape than if you hadn't made it through.
I want you to think about that. Some of you
are remnants right now. You survived a divorce, but you're
in trouble. You survived the layoff, but you're in shame.
You survive the sickness, but your walls are still down.
(03:35):
You survived the betrayal, you survived the abuse, you survived
the trauma, but your heart is still broken. You survived it,
but you're still dealing with it. And here's what nobody
talks about. When you're a remnant with broken walls and
a broken heart, you're dealing with double devastation. This is
(03:59):
what I mean. Your external protection is gone and your
internal strength is shattered. So what happens with that? You're vulnerable.
You're vulnerable from the outside and you're wounded on the inside.
This is twenty twenty five, and we got rennants everywhere.
(04:21):
We have people who have survived COVID and they're still
dealing with it. They're still processing it, they're still grieving
the devastation and the loss that happened to us. To
be honest with you, we all probably need some counseling
for what we saw and what we experienced during COVID.
(04:43):
You have survivors of church hurt who can't trust leadership,
they don't trust pastors, they don't trust the church any longer.
And you have survivors of abuse who can't let anybody
get close to them. So you may it through. But
like the report that Nia maya God, you're still in
(05:05):
the province of your pain. And let me tell you
something about being in great trouble and shame. It's not
just about your circumstance, it's about your condition. Your walls
are broken, that's your circumstance. But your heart is broken too.
(05:27):
Now that's your condition. And you can't reveald walls with
a broken heart anymore than you can mend a broken
heart behind broken walls. Turn to your neighbor in the
chat and type I'm a remnant. I'm a remnant. You're
looking at a remnant. You're listening to a remnant. I
am a remnant. You are a remnant. But here's the
(05:49):
revelation that I want you to get. God specializes in remnants.
He takes what's left and he makes more than what
was lost. He takes broken walls, he takes broken hearts,
and you know what he does. He creates breakthrough testimonies.
(06:09):
Now let's look at the second wall. The second wall.
The second wall is the wall of exposed vulnerability. Let's
go back to the verse Neamiah, Chapter one, verse three b.
Neamiah says, the wall of Jerusalem is broken down. That's
a fact. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down. Now
(06:32):
watch this parallel. Walls were very important to cities in
ancient times. Walls weren't just decoration walls were definition. Walls
determine where you ended and where the enemy began. So
when your walls were broken, guess what you got? No
(06:56):
boundaries when your wall is broken, no barriers. When your
walls are broken, you got no buffer between you and destruction.
Question for you, what walls in your life have been
broken down that used to protect you. Let's get real
(07:18):
surgical with this scripture, because the Hebrew word for broken
down is parats. That spelled pa r ats, parats. You
know what parats mean. Parats means breached, it means bust open,
it means scattered. So we're not talking about a little
(07:39):
crack in cement. What Nehemiah is reading, what he's hearing
is a catastrophic structural failure. But here's what will preach.
When walls break, hearts break too. You know why because
(08:00):
those walls represented your security. Those walls represented your safety,
Those walls represented your sanity. And when they come down,
it doesn't just expose your life. You know what, It
also exposes. It exposes your soul. Listen, let me make
(08:23):
this practical.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And I was thinking about this today. Y'all spend thousands
of dollars on security systems, and I get it. Security
systems for your house, security systems for your car.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
You got ring doorbells, you got adt you got cameras
on every corner of your house, all inside your house,
all outside of your house. Why, because you understand that
security is your house's defense. You're protecting what's inside of
your house. You're protecting your property, protecting your family, You're
(09:01):
protecting your valuables, You're protecting your pets, you're protecting your peace.
Let me ask you something, and I think this will
shake your theology just a little bit. If you've got
security on your house, where is the security on your heart?
(09:23):
Where's the alarm system on your mind? Where's the surveillance
on your spirit? Where's the protection on your purpose? Some
of y'all got better security on your iPhone than you
got on your emotions. You'll put a ten digit pass
code on your phone, but you'll let anybody access your feelings.
(09:47):
You got face ID on your device, but you don't
have any faith ID on your decisions. Question for you,
who's been robbing you emotionally because you have no security
system on your soul. I'm talking to somebody right now
who's being burglarized in broad daylight. Somebody's stealing your joy
(10:14):
and you don't even hear the alarm. Somebody's robbing you
of your peace and you ain't even called the spiritual popo.
Your purpose is being hijacked, you know why, because you
have no security on your significance. If you don't have
any security on your significance, someone will steal your purpose.
(10:40):
And every time they rob you, your heart breaks a
little more every time they rob you, you lose a
little more trust. Every breach in the wall creates another crack,
Every violation creates another fracture. You got broken walls and
(11:00):
a broken heart, and the enemy is having a field
day in your life. But let me drop something powerful
on you right there. Look at Psalms chapter thirty four,
verse eighteen, because we got a rescue mission coming in.
So I'm thirty four eighteen. The Lord is near to
(11:21):
the broken heart and saves the crushed in spirit. Glory
to God. Did you catch that? When your walls are broken,
when your heart is shattered, you're not alone. You're not
alone in the rubble. You're not alone in your ruins.
(11:42):
You're not alone in the wreckage. The Lord doesn't just
observe your brokenness from a distance. No, he gets near.
The word near in Hebrew means intimate, close, within reach,
within proximity. Your broken heart is not pushing God away.
(12:03):
You might push everybody else away, but you're not pushing
God away. You know what it does, It draws him close.
Your broken spirit isn't separating you from his presence. It's
making you a priority for his proximity when everything else
is broken down. Guess what He shows up when everyone
(12:28):
else backs away from your brokenness. Guess what God leans in.
Some of y'all think God can't use you because your
heart is broken, but listen to me. Your broken heart
is your qualification for God's closeness. Your crushed spirit is
your invitation to his intimacy. God specializes in broken hearts
(12:55):
the same way he specializes in broken walls. Some of
your your emotional walls. Remember that word parats. Your financial
walls parats. Your spiritual walls are paracts. And now everything
that used to be kept out is getting in. Every
(13:18):
toxic person got the cold to your heart. Every negative
thought got the key to your mind. The Bible tells
us to bring every thought into captivity, and you can't
even do that. Every destructive pattern got access to your destiny.
(13:39):
And I want you to see this because what I'm
saying to you right here, right now, it connects powerfully
to what Jesus said over in Matthew chapter twelve, verse
forty three and forty five. Make a note of this.
When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person,
(14:00):
it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none.
Then it says, I will return get this to my
house from which I came. And when it comes, it
finds the house empty, swept and put in order. Then
(14:23):
it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more
evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And
the last state of that person is worse than the first.
Do you see that? This is what Jesus is saying.
(14:45):
And this is what I want you to understand. You
can get delivered but still be unprotected. You can cast
out the demon, but if you don't install a security system,
if you don't se ablish new boundaries, if you don't
fortify your faith, that spirit is going to come back
(15:07):
with a construction crew. The spirit is so bold that
it goes and gets seven other spirits more wicked than
it is. And so when they come back, they don't
just break down more walls. No, you know what they do.
They break your heart deeper. They don't just steal your stuff.
They steal your hope, They steal your joy. They don't
(15:30):
just violate your space, they violate your spirit. And this
is for my people in that I got delivered, but
I'm still struggling. Section Just because you swept the house
don't mean you secure at the house. You need spiritual
adt anointed, divine territory. Let's look at the third wall.
(15:51):
The third wall is the wall of consuming fire. Let's
go back to the verse and mear might one to
three c and it's gates are destroyed by fire. Somebody
needs to lean in and you need to hear this.
We've talked about the walls for the first two Now
(16:12):
we're talking about the gates. Gates represent access points. Everybody
type that access points access points. The gates determine what
comes in and what goes out. But when fire destroys
your gates, you got no control over your traffic. You
(16:37):
have no control over the flow that comes in and
out of your life. You have no control over the
flow that comes in and out of your heart. You
have no control over the flow that comes in and
out of your mind. Question for you, what fires in
your life have destroyed your ability to control what enters
(16:59):
your space. The devil is strategic. He doesn't just break walls, No,
he burns gates. Why because he wants to ensure you
can't regulate your relationships, You can't monitor your mindset, you
can't govern what gets to you. And let me tell
(17:20):
you something about fire. It doesn't just destroy, It deforms,
It doesn't just burn. It leaves scars. Your gates aren't
just gone. Guess what, they're melted. Your access points aren't
just compromised, their charred ruins. Think about it. When your
(17:42):
security system is compromised, thieves get bold. Y'all seen Ocean eleven.
Thieves get bold when they know the When they know
the security system has been compromised, they don't just take
one thing. If they deactivate your security system, they'll back
of you, haul truck up to your house, and they'll
clean you out. And the same thing happens spiritually. When
(18:04):
your gates are burned. The enemy doesn't just steal your joy.
He robs your hope, He robs your peace. He doesn't
just take it. He burglarizes your purpose. For some of you,
the fire of betrayal burns your trust gates. Now you
(18:25):
get people in your life who are still in your energy.
The fire of failure burns your confidence gates. Now fear
is robbing you of opportunities. The fire of fear burned everything,
burns your faith gates, and now doubt has all access
(18:50):
passed to your destiny. Let me say something to you
and let me show you something. And this is so
powerful to me. Whenever where I get a chance to hear,
when I'm reading in my Bible and I get a
chance to hear Satan speak, always lean in specifically when
he speaks, because I'm trying to learn his strategy and
(19:14):
how strategic he is. There's a scripture over in Job
chapter one, verse ten, Job chapter one, verse ten, and
I'm a quote Satan. Satan's talking to God. Let me
give you context. He's talking to God and he has
the nerve to have a complaint to God. Now I
want you to listen to his complaint that he has
(19:37):
with God. And he's talking about job. Satan says this
in Job chapter one, verse ten, and I quote, have
you God, have you not put a hedge a wall
around him and his house and all that he has
on every side? You have blessed the work of his
(19:58):
hands and his possession have increased in the land. So
Satan has had Job under surveillance. Satan wants to get
at job and he can't. He can't get to him,
He can't get to his wife, he can't get to
his children. Job has ten children, and he's trying to
(20:18):
get at his businesses are blessed. Everything that he owns
is increasing in the land. Job is the wealthiest man
on earth. But this is what I learned from this.
Satan recognized God put security systems around his people. That
(20:40):
word hedge means to enclose to fence in, to protect
on every side. The devil had the nerve to be
mad because he couldn't get to job without God's permission.
Without God removing the wall, Joe had divide security that
(21:03):
Hell couldn't hack. Hell could not hack his security system.
But get this, Sometimes sometimes God allows the security system
to go offline, you know why, so he can upgrade
you to military grades, military grade protection. Sometimes he'll let
(21:28):
the fence fall so he can install a fortress. Sometimes
he'll even let your heart break so he can give
you his heart. Let's keep going. Let's look at this
fourth wall. The fourth wall is the wall of holy grief.
I want to introduce this word to you because holy
(21:48):
grief is powerful. I'm not just talking about grief in
and of itself. I'm not just talking about sadness in
and of itself. I'm talking about holy grief, vine grief.
This is the kind of grief that Heaven will respond to.
Let's take a look at the verse Namiah, Chapter one,
(22:08):
verse four, A Meamih says this, He said, as soon
as I heard these words, I sat down and wept.
Now this is where it gets real. I always say this,
What the Bible doesn't say is as important as what
it does say. Me and I didn't organize a committee nearby,
(22:30):
didn't put a post up on Instagram or Facebook or TikTok.
He didn't call a board meeting. He didn't get the
deacons together, he didn't start a go fund me page.
You know the first thing that Niamiah did. Look at
that verse grief. That's what he did. He got news
(22:51):
about the status of the walls in Jerusalem, and it
broke his heart. Question for you, when was the last
time you allowed yourself to truly grieve what's been broken
in your life? So many times we try to say
we just take it on the chin, I got tough
(23:13):
skin and try to keep it moving. Church. We live
in a culture that wants to skip the morning and
get to the morning. We want to breakthrough without the breakdown.
But Nia Mayah shows all of us that holy grief
is the foundation for heavenly intervention. The Hebrew word for
(23:38):
what means to weep aloud, to bewel, to cry with intensity.
What Nea Mayah went through was in our silent tears.
It was vocal anguish. This is when your pain has
(24:01):
a sound, The pain inside of you emanates a sound
that comes out of you. Have you ever experienced that
kind of anguish before? That's the ugly cry times ten.
But watch this. Neilmi wasn't just crying over broken walls.
(24:22):
He was crying because his heart was broken. When you
love something and it's destroyed, when you love something and
it's devastated, when you love someone and they're gone, it
doesn't just affect your environment. It affects your emotions. It
(24:43):
doesn't just change your circumstance. You know what it does.
It changes the whole chemistry, the whole dynamic of who
you are inside. Listen. Broken walls create broken hearts. When
the structures that protected you fail, when the structures that
you believed in fall, when the systems that you secured fall,
(25:06):
when the boundaries that you defined are demolished, your heart
doesn't just witness it, Your heart experiences it. Your tears
are part of your security system. Your tears are the
alarm that goes off when something valuable has been violated.
(25:29):
When you weep over your broken walls, you're not just
being weak. I'll fall out on that floor and cry
in a minute. No, you're acknowledging there's a breach. You're
sounding the spiritual alarm that says I've been robbed and
I need Heaven's response team. But let me show you something,
and I think this will get your attention. Look at
(25:52):
Psalms fifty six, verse eight. This is one of my
top ten scriptures in the Bible. Psalms fifty six, verse eight.
I read the scription years ago and it made me cry.
Psalm's fifty six verse eight. Sam says this. He says
he's talking to God. He says, you have kept count
(26:13):
of my tossings. You have been tossing to and fro
in bed at night. But get this, you have put
my tears in your bottle. My tears are in your possession,
and they're in your bottle. Are they not in your book?
Do you understand what King David is saying. He's saying
(26:35):
that God doesn't just see your tears, He collects them.
He doesn't just notice your crime. He bottles it. Every
tear that falls from your broken heart over your broken
walls is precious to God. God is not just honoring
your grief. You know what he's doing. He's preserving it
(26:57):
for purpose. Some of y'all been crying so long you
think your tears don't matter. But baby, let me tell
you something. God's been filling bottles with your pain. He's
been keeping records of your weakning. And when it's time
to rebuild, Oh, He's going to use every tears holy
water to mix with the sement of your comeback. You
(27:18):
better stop playing with me. Turn your neighbor in the
chap and type. My tears are talking, My tears are talking.
Let's look at the fifth wall. The fifth wall is
the wall of sustained intercession. I wanted to call this
fifth wall the wall of intercession, but I couldn't because
(27:39):
what we're about to read isn't just intercession, it's sustained intercession.
And mee and my chapter one, verse four B listen
to the effect that this had on this man and
mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before
the God of Heaven. Now I want you to pay
(28:01):
attention to n and I's progression not only in N
and I one four B, but also in Me and
I one four eight. Watch his progression. Notice his progression.
Rite it down. He goes from weeping till morning to
fasting to praying. This was no microwave moment for me
(28:21):
and Mayah. This was crop pot consecration for days, not hours,
not moments. Days. You know why I took days Because
when your walls are broken and your heart is broken,
you can't rush the recovery. You can't. And that's what
(28:41):
we try to do. So many times. We try to
tell ourselves, I'm over it, I'm past it, I'm beyond it. No,
you can't fast track healing. You can't expedite the restoration process.
Let me teach you something about spiritual security. Prayer is
(29:03):
your surveillance system. Fasting is your firewall. Worship is your
warning system. When you pray, you're not just talking. You
know what you're doing. When you're praying, you're installing divine
detection that alerts you to every demonic intrusion. But here's
(29:24):
an even deeper revelation. When you fast and pray, where
a broken heart over broken walls, something powerful happens your
broken heart becomes the mortar for your new walls. Your
tears become the cement for your reconstruction. Your pain becomes
the foundation for your protection. Every hour in prayer is
(29:48):
upgrading your spiritual security. Every single day of fasting is
fortifying your fate firewall. So you're not just asking God
for help. You know what you're doing. You're establishing a
perimeter that the enemy can invade. Look at Psalms one
twenty seven, Verse one, Unless the Lord builds the house,
(30:12):
those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord
watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
I hope you did some observation with that one verse,
because there are a couple of words that appear twice,
the word unless in the word vain, the word unless.
(30:36):
That's not a coincidence. That's divine emphasis. Whenever you see
scripture emphasizing a word more than once, it's divine emphasis.
That's the spirit saying, hey, stop park right here, and
let's talk about this. Because in Hebrew, the word unless
means quote unquote, if not, or accept, if not, or except.
(31:03):
In other words, it's an absolute condition that leaves no rooms,
no room for alternatives. The first unless unless the Lord
builds the house. It's talking about construction. You can have
the best architects, you can have the finest materials, you
can have the most skilled workers. But unless unless God
(31:25):
is the general contracting, we're building the house of cards,
and it may look beautiful, your broken walls can't be
properly rebuilt unless the Lord himself is doing the building.
The second unless unless the Lord watches over the city.
(31:45):
What is that talking about. He's talking about protection. You
can have the best security system, the strongest gainst, the
highest wall. But unless God is your security guard, you
just planning pretend protection. Your rebuilt walls can't stay secure
unless the Lord himself is standing watch. Now let's look
(32:08):
at this word vein, because again twice that word is
mentioned in Hebrew. The word vein means empty, It means worthless,
It means deceptive, it means ineffective. So it's not just
that your efforts won't succeed. The Bible is saying your
efforts without God are delusional, they're phantom, they're mirage. The
(32:34):
first vein labor in vain. That means all your sweat,
all of your effort, all of your energy without the Lord.
It's in vain. It's creating emptiness. You're exhausting yourself. You're
building walls that won't stand. You're wearing yourself out, constructing
(32:54):
protection that will not protect you. Your broken heart is
trying to rebuild broken walls. But it's all futility without God.
The second Vein says, stays awakened Vein right. That means
(33:15):
all your vigilance is producing vulnerability. All you're watching is
creating weakness. You're losing sleep over security that's not even secure.
You're burning yourself out trying to guard what only God
can't protect. This is why it's important, because some of
(33:36):
us have been trying to rebuild walls in our own strength.
We've been mixing our own mortar, we've been laying our
own bricks, we've been setting our own boundaries. But it's
all vain. It's all empty, it's all worthless because Psalms
(33:56):
one second one. Unless the Lord builds it, you're just
stack in sand. You're stacking sand all around your life
unless the Lord builds it. Some of y'all been trying
to protect what you've rebuilt in your own power. You've
(34:18):
been standing guard over twenty four to seven because you
don't want nobody to take it from You've been checking
every corner, you've been monitoring every movement. But again it's
all vain. You're wearing yourself out. It's all deceptive security
because again I gotta stress this. Unless the Lord watches it,
(34:39):
you're just a sitting duck. This is why for some
of us, our walls keep falling. This is why for
some of us, our hearts keep breaking. This is why
for some of us we've been building in vain. We've
been watching in vain because we've been doing it without
the only one who can make it and who can
(35:00):
make it secure. You can't build what God has in blueprinting.
I'm sorry. That's what the Bible says. You cannot build
what God has not blueprinted. You cannot construct what Heaven
hasn't commission. But watch this. You also can't secure what
(35:22):
God is in supervising because God is not just your builder,
He's also your security guard. That's what that verse. That's
what that verse is telling you in Psalms on twenty
seven one. And so this is for my people in
the I'm tired of being robbed section. Some of you
all have been trying to protect yourself with your plans,
(35:43):
your power, your protocols, your ideas. But if God ain't
your security company, you're just playing with toy locks when
he wants to give you Heaven's protection. Let's keep going.
Sixth wall, the wall of divine process. Now let this
to Philippius, Chapter one, verse six, Olympians one six. I
(36:05):
real outedesv and try not to quote it from the
King James. And I'm sure of this that He who
began a good work in you will bring it to
completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Listen, God is
the master builder who never starts what he won't finish.
(36:25):
Whatever God has started, he's going to finish. But here's
the key. He's not just rebuilding what was. He's constructing
what's supposed to be with supernatural security. He who has
begun a good work in you shall complete it until
the day of Christ. That just simply means you're under construction.
(36:48):
I'm under construction. We're all under construction. God is working
a work in all of us. But here's a question
for you. Are you willing to let God you use
your broken heart as the foundation for your future, for
your future fortress are you willing to submit to that process.
(37:11):
Let's look at the seventh wall. This is the wall
of redemptive purpose. Let me show you something powerful, and
I want you to look at what Niamiah says It's over.
In Neamiah chapter two, verse seventeen. Neamire chapter two, verse seventeen,
Niamah says this. He says, then I said to them,
you see the trouble we're in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins,
where its gates burned. Come let us build the walls
(37:33):
of Jerusalem that we may no longer suffer derision. I
want you to see this. Pay attention. Neami's broken heart
became his building motivation. His tears became his testimony, His
mourning became his movement. What I mean is this, he
(37:57):
didn't stay in his group. He let his grief propel
him push him to purpose. Some of you all have
been sitting in your broken place so long that you've
decided to decorate it. You put a curtains in your crisis,
(38:22):
You've installed carpet in your catastrophe. But God is saying, listen,
your broken walls, your broken heart was never meant to
be your permanent address, y'all, got candles gone, y'all got
the breeze gone. God is saying, will you please come
up out of there? That was never meant to be
(38:45):
your permanent dwelling place. You know what it was supposed
to be. It was supposed to be your testimony. I
believe it's Revelation twelve ten ten. We overcome by the
blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony.
Out come out wherever you are. The eighth wall, this
is the wall of corporate brokenness. Now stay in Nearmiah
(39:08):
two seventeen. But I want you to look at the language.
I want you to look at the wording. Look at
how this man is speaking. You see the trouble we
are in Niamiah didn't say you are in. He didn't
say they are in. He said we are in this mess.
(39:29):
His heart was broken because he identified with the brokenness
of others. Question for you, when was the last time
someone else's broken walls broke your heart? This is the
problem with modern Christianity, this is the problem with the
(39:51):
so called church. We see broken walls. We talk about
other people's broken walls, We gossip about other people's broken hearts.
We see broken walls as individual instead of corporate, instead
of having a corporate unified body of Christ's concerned. Nope,
(40:15):
we're gonna scroll right past people's pain. We swipe left
through people's struggles. We've become so desensitized as a body
of believers, we become desensitized to devastation that broken walls
don't even break our hearts anymore. Praying for you and
we just step right over it. But Nea Mayah puts
(40:40):
all of us to shame. Neamiah shows us that true ministry,
true ministry happens when other people's broken walls break your heart.
When you can't sleep because your brother is exposed, when
you can't eat because your sister is vulnerable, turn to
(41:00):
your neighbor in the chat and tight Your broken walls
break my heart. We are to be ashamed of ourselves
as Christians? How aloof we can be when we hear
about the devastation ruins in other people's lives and we
just keep it going, We just keep it moving. Yeah,
(41:25):
your broken walls break my heart. Let's go to the
ninth wall. This is the wall of generational protection. And
I think this is my favorite wall of all of
the walls that we've looked at so far, we're going
to look at a total of ten. The ninth wall
is the wall of generational protection. Listen to me carefully.
(41:48):
The walls you refuse to rebuild don't just affect you,
They affect your seed. The breaches you ignore become inheritances,
inheritance of insecurity for your children. Let me give you
a scripture Proverbs thirteen twenty two. A good man leaves
(42:10):
an inheritance to his children. That's awesome, that's good. But
let me ask you this, What kind of inheritance are
you leaving if you won't rebuild your walls? What kind
of legacy are you establishing if you let your family
(42:30):
live lives that are exposed to the enemy. What kind
of future are you creating if your children grow up
without boundaries, without protection, without security. And let me get
real with you, because some of you are so focused
on leaving your kids some money that you're forgetting to
leave them some walls. You're so concerned about their education
(42:54):
that you're neglecting their protection. You're so worried about their
opportunities that you're ignoring their security. Question, for you, what
good is it to leave your children a fortune? If
you leave them defenseless. I'm talking to parents right now.
I'm talking to grandparents right now. I'm talking to great grandparents.
(43:18):
I'm talking to aunties, the TT's, I'm talking to the unks.
The enemy isn't just after you, He's after your bloodline.
Please hear me. He's not just trying to breach your walls.
He's trying to ensure your children never have any walls.
(43:40):
Listen to what me Andmiah says in chapter four. And
this is why I love this man so much, Nia Maya,
chapter four, verse fourteen. Neia Mayah is a man's man.
I'm telling y'all, if y'all haven't read that book, y'all
need to pull up and read this man's book, because
it blesses me every time I go to these pages.
Nia and Maya, chapter four, verse fourteen. And I looked
(44:04):
and the rose and said to the nobles and to
the officials, and to the rest of the people here
it is, do not be afraid of them. Remember the
Lord who is great and awesome, and.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
Fight for your brothers, fight for your sons, fight for
your daughters, fight for your wives, fight for your homes.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
Did you catch that, Fight for your sons, fight for
your daughters. Fight for your legacy, fight for your generations,
fight for your descendants. The walls you build aren't just
for you. The walls you build are for generations. The
protection you established now isn't just for today, It's for tomorrow.
(44:54):
The security you installed it isn't just for now. It's
for those who come after you. Some of you, I
get it. Your parents didn't leave you walls. My parents
didn't leave me walls. They left you exposed, They left
you vulnerable. They left you without boundaries, without protection, without security.
But if you're not careful, you're gonna repeat the same cycle.
(45:20):
You're passing down the same exposure. But God is saying,
let it stop with you. This is where it stops.
This is where I draw the line. This is the
line of demarcation right here. I got kids, and I
got grandkids behind me. Some of you all got kids
(45:41):
and grandkids behind you as well. Let the generational curse
of broken walls end in your generation. Let the family
tradition of exposure terminate on your watch. Let the bloodline
breach be sealed by your obedience. Turn your neighbor into
(46:02):
chat and type. I'm building walls for generation. Listen your
children are watching you live with broken walls and then
learning that it's normal. You are normalizing broken walls, broken relationships,
broken heart, broken spirits. You're normalizing it in front of
(46:25):
your children. Your grandchildren are growing up in homes without boundaries,
thinking that it's acceptable. Hear me. When you rebuild your walls,
you teach your children and your grandchildren. You're teaching them
that protection is possible. When you establish your security, you
(46:50):
show them that safety is available. So I just want
to speak to somebody right now and let you know
that the walls you build in this season will protect
your children you haven't even had yet. The boundaries that
you established today will secure your grandchildren even though you
haven't met them yet. The security you installed now wiguard
(47:13):
generations that you will never even see with your natural eyes.
Can I tell you something, This is bigger than you.
This is about your legacy. You care about your legacy, right,
I know you do. This is about your lineage. This
is about ensuring that your grandchildren's grandchildren don't have to
(47:35):
fight the same demons you're fighting. Why, because you built
walls that hell can't penetrate. Remember what job? What Satan
said about job, job had a wall around him and
his children, and an enemy couldn't do nothing with it.
Let's get at this tenth wall. This is the wall
of divine permission. Nea myers is. It's such a sad
(48:00):
he got. He's such a well thought out, well planned brother.
And I love this brother. Look at Niamiah chapter two,
verse five and six. And I said to the king,
for those of you all who don't know, Niamiah is
the cup bearer. He's a cup bearer to the king.
Niamiyah isn't even in Jerusalem. When Niamiah first got news
here this and when this happens, and from the first
(48:24):
chapter to the second chapter, it's four months. Four months
have passed since he first got news of what the walls,
the condition of Jerusalem, the condition of the remnants. Four
months have gone by. And this is where we are
right here in Niaomiah chapter two, verse five to six.
He's a cup bearer nicodemon, Nicodemon. Niamiah has a job
(48:47):
with benefits. Niamiah has a government job. Namiah ain't hurting
for nothing. He is the man next to the man,
but his mind is on the remnant back in Jerusalem.
I just want to give you that, because I want
you to have a little bit more context for where
we are. Neamiah Chapter two, verse five and six. And
I said to the King, if it pleases the King,
(49:10):
and if your servant me, if I found favor in
your sight. He said, I want you to send me
to Judith, to the city of my father's graves, that
I may rebuild it. And the King said to me,
the queen sitting beside him, how long will you be gone?
And when will you return? So it pleased the King
(49:30):
to send me when I had given him a time.
Let me give you this as well. The King is
going to finance everything that Niamiah wants to do. Remember
this all started because this man was broken because of
some news that he received. There's a principle here. The
same broken heart that drove me Amiyah to prayer also
(49:55):
drove him to receive permission. His brokenness didn't qualified him,
you know what it did. His brokenness qualified him. His
tears didn't make him weak, They made him worthy. The
king saw something in this man. The King saw something
in me and MIA's broken heart. It moved him to
give Niamiah a full release, full resources. Can I tell
(50:19):
you something sometimes God will use your broken heart to
unlock doors that your whole heart never could have opened.
Sometimes your pain is your permission slip to purpose. Let
me give you these call to actions so I can
get you up out of here. Number one, Conduct the
spiritual security audit. Call the action. Number one. I want
(50:43):
you to do a spiritual security audit. I want to
challenge you to examine every area of your life. And
this is what I want you to do. Ask yourself,
where am I being robbed? Who has unauthorized access to
your emotions? What thoughts are stealing your peace? Which relationships
(51:11):
are burglarizing your purpose? I want you to sit down,
pray about it, think about it, write it down, and
then this is what you're going to do. The last
step in this process, You're going to revoke their access.
But I also want you to ask yourself this question
as well. Where is my heart broken? And what devastation
(51:35):
have I been ignoring? What ruins have I been avoiding?
What walls have I been pretending down? It's time to
acknowledge your brokenness so God can address your brokenness. Go
back in your heart and ask yourself, are there some
(51:57):
people that I lost that I just tried to keep
it moving. That I didn't do like Nea Mayah, he
sat and he wept. That's contemplative grieving. Did you really
sit and contemplate? When I had got news that my
friend twenty years minister Kevin Wilson passed away, I sat
(52:18):
on my couch all day. I ain't take no phone calls.
I didn't want to talk to nobody. I just needed
to contemplate my entire friendship with that man. I needed
to sit in that moment. I didn't want to get
up and let me go get some gas and nope, nope, nope.
This man meant too much for me to try to
get all busy. So when I'm asking you to do,
(52:40):
go back, go back into some grief, go back into
some moments or you've lost some people, and really ask yourself,
did I really get through that process? Because here's the
reason why this is important, because it can still manifest
itself in other areas of your life and you're not
even you're not even aware of it. Okay, Number two
(53:02):
second call to action, install your prayer security system. This
is what I want you to do, specifically, write this down.
For the next seven days. I want you to establish
prayer checkpoints throughout your day. Morning prayer that's your perimeter check,
(53:24):
noon prayer, that's your surveillance review. Evening prayer, that's your
security briefing with Heaven. That's when you're gonna sit down
and go over everything with Heaven. And this is what
I want you to do. Document every breach attempt that
the enemy makes, because he's going to try to make
(53:44):
some attempts to breach your spirit, to breach your mind,
to breach your heart. But you need to sit down,
and you need to write this out, and you need
to understand the strategies of the enemy because he's very
strategic and how he attacks all of us. But I
don't want you to just pray about your broken walls.
(54:06):
I want you to pray from your broken heart, same
way Neamia did. Let your tears be part of your prayer.
Let your pain be part of your petition to God.
Let your grief be part of your groaning. God responds
to authentic agony. Sometimes we don't even know what to pray.
(54:26):
We'll just start moaning and willing and crime. Hear me,
the Holy Spirit can interpret all of that. Okay, Number three,
this is probably the most important one. I need you
to establish new access codes, establish new access codes. You know,
(54:48):
if somebody gets if somebody breaks, if somebody hacks your
phone or gets into your access codes or your ATM,
what do you do? You're changing, you change, you don't
keep the same number. And I pray y'all not out
here using one, two three four or zero zero zero zero. No,
I dare you to change the passwords to your heart.
(55:11):
Change the passwords to your heart. Not everybody deserves entry
to your emotions. Not every opportunity deserves access to your energy.
I've had some opportunities come forth in ministry, and I
am not putting any energy into it. If it's for me,
(55:35):
then it'll be for me. But if you think I'm
gonna go run after this and run after this, run
after that, no, I'm gonna stay right on this wall
and keep doing what God has called me to do.
So again, not every opportunity deserves access to your energy.
So for the next twenty one days, everybody, say twenty
one days. For the next twenty one days, before you
(55:58):
give anyone or anything access to your heart, ask God
do they have heaven clearance? And if God says no,
then your answer is no. And while you're establishing new
(56:20):
access codes. Here's something that you need to do. Let
God access the broken places while you're establishing new access codes.
Let God access the broken places. Stop trying to hide
your hurt from God. Give God the access code to
your broken heart. The thing that I love about this
(56:41):
teaching is this, I'm so powerful because Nearby's tears became
the blueprint for Jerusalem's restoration. And the fact that he
actually went down there and rebuilt those walls around that city.
Understand he had opposition. I don't want you to think
(57:05):
this was a smooth construction project, because it wasn't. Neamyah
told them people, look, get a shovel in one hand
and a sword in the other hand. Neomyah wasn't playing
with nobody. And that's how you have to be. You
have to be vigilant, you have to be watchful. You
have to be mindful that the enemy goes about as
(57:25):
a roaring line, seeking to the vow whom he may.
But the thing that I love about me and Mayah
is that that man's broken heart became the foundation for
a fort to five future. So what I'm learning from
this is this, your grief can become the gateway to
your greatest security in God, But you gotta be willing
(57:46):
to let him in. Some of you have been robbed
for so long, robbed of your joint, robbed of your peace,
robbed of your love. I get it, but that's not normal.
You're starting to think it's normal. You're starting to expe
the worst. That's not normal. You've gotten used to people
stealing your joy and hijacking your hope and burglarizing your blessings.
(58:08):
Your heart has been broken so many times you stop
expecting your heart to behold But let me encourage you.
Right now, your broken walls are about to become your breakthrough.
Your broken heart is about to become a beacon of
hope for you. Your tears are about to become trophies.
Your tears are watering your blessings. Your grief is about
(58:30):
to become your glory. And those walls won't just protect you.
Remember what we talked about. They're going to protect your children.
They're going to protect your grandchildren, and they're going to
protect your grandchildren's grandchildren. Your obedience, your desire to rebuild,
(58:51):
is going to establish a legacy of protection that outlives
your pain, and it outlash your problems, and as all
always love to say, get into the word of God,
and the word of God will get into you, and
I will see you next time. Loving nature, Peace,
We've all experienced having our heart broke at some point
in time in our lives. And we're going to read
about a young man whose heart was broken over a condition,
over a condition that he saw, that he heard about,
and that he wanted to respond to. And so I
want you to grab your bible, get your notebook. So
(00:20):
we got a scripture foundation. If you have your bible,
turn with me to Niamyah chapter one, verse three and four.
Neamyah chapter one, verses three and four. We're going to
look at these two verses, and then we're going to
call some other verses in as well, and those verses
are going to anchor us back to this text. Nea
Mayah chapter one, verse three through four. Shout out to
(00:43):
everybody who's joining us. Really appreciate you. Guys. Here we go,
and they said to me, who is me? Neamyah? And
they said to me, the remnant there in the province,
who has survived exile is in great trouble and shame.
The Wall of Jerusalem. Get this, it's broken down and
(01:05):
its gates are destroyed by fire. As soon as I
Nea Mayah heard these words, I Nea Mayah sat down
and wept and mourned for days, and I Nea Maiyah
(01:26):
continued fasting and praying before the God of Heaven. Let
me give you a power word before we get started.
Our power word for this lesson is going to be desolation,
but we're going to flip it. Everybody typed the word
desolation in the chat, but watch this. Desolation is just
(01:47):
to prelude to your restoration. What you're about to learn, family,
in the next few minutes, you're going to you're going
to discover the wall of devastating news. The First War
is the wall of devastating news. Nia. And my chapter one,
verse three eight. So what I'm gonna do is I'm
gonna go through and I'm gonna break the verse down
(02:08):
in parts, and we're gonna extract the meaning and the
application and how we can apply it to our lives.
So near my chapter one, verse three eight, the remnant
there in the province, who had survived the exile is
in great trouble and shame. So let's break this down.
(02:30):
The word remnant in Hebrew means the survivors. So these
people weren't casualties, they were conquerors. The remnant were the
people who made it through captivity. So get this they're
able to make it through captivity only to find themselves
(02:51):
in another situation. Watch this. You can survive the battle
and still be stuck in the aftermath. You can survive
the captivity and still be stuck in the aftermath. Question
for you, have you ever survived something that left you
(03:13):
in worse shape than if you hadn't made it through.
I want you to think about that. Some of you
are remnants right now. You survived a divorce, but you're
in trouble. You survived the layoff, but you're in shame.
You survive the sickness, but your walls are still down.
(03:35):
You survived the betrayal, you survived the abuse, you survived
the trauma, but your heart is still broken. You survived it,
but you're still dealing with it. And here's what nobody
talks about. When you're a remnant with broken walls and
a broken heart, you're dealing with double devastation. This is
(03:59):
what I mean. Your external protection is gone and your
internal strength is shattered. So what happens with that? You're vulnerable.
You're vulnerable from the outside and you're wounded on the inside.
This is twenty twenty five, and we got rennants everywhere.
(04:21):
We have people who have survived COVID and they're still
dealing with it. They're still processing it, they're still grieving
the devastation and the loss that happened to us. To
be honest with you, we all probably need some counseling
for what we saw and what we experienced during COVID.
(04:43):
You have survivors of church hurt who can't trust leadership,
they don't trust pastors, they don't trust the church any longer.
And you have survivors of abuse who can't let anybody
get close to them. So you may it through. But
like the report that Nia maya God, you're still in
(05:05):
the province of your pain. And let me tell you
something about being in great trouble and shame. It's not
just about your circumstance, it's about your condition. Your walls
are broken, that's your circumstance. But your heart is broken too.
(05:27):
Now that's your condition. And you can't reveald walls with
a broken heart anymore than you can mend a broken
heart behind broken walls. Turn to your neighbor in the
chat and type I'm a remnant. I'm a remnant. You're
looking at a remnant. You're listening to a remnant. I
am a remnant. You are a remnant. But here's the
(05:49):
revelation that I want you to get. God specializes in remnants.
He takes what's left and he makes more than what
was lost. He takes broken walls, he takes broken hearts,
and you know what he does. He creates breakthrough testimonies.
(06:09):
Now let's look at the second wall. The second wall.
The second wall is the wall of exposed vulnerability. Let's
go back to the verse Neamiah, Chapter one, verse three b.
Neamiah says, the wall of Jerusalem is broken down. That's
a fact. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down. Now
(06:32):
watch this parallel. Walls were very important to cities in
ancient times. Walls weren't just decoration walls were definition. Walls
determine where you ended and where the enemy began. So
when your walls were broken, guess what you got? No
(06:56):
boundaries when your wall is broken, no barriers. When your
walls are broken, you got no buffer between you and destruction.
Question for you, what walls in your life have been
broken down that used to protect you. Let's get real
(07:18):
surgical with this scripture, because the Hebrew word for broken
down is parats. That spelled pa r ats, parats. You
know what parats mean. Parats means breached, it means bust open,
it means scattered. So we're not talking about a little
(07:39):
crack in cement. What Nehemiah is reading, what he's hearing
is a catastrophic structural failure. But here's what will preach.
When walls break, hearts break too. You know why because
(08:00):
those walls represented your security. Those walls represented your safety,
Those walls represented your sanity. And when they come down,
it doesn't just expose your life. You know what, It
also exposes. It exposes your soul. Listen, let me make
(08:23):
this practical.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And I was thinking about this today. Y'all spend thousands
of dollars on security systems, and I get it. Security
systems for your house, security systems for your car.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
You got ring doorbells, you got adt you got cameras
on every corner of your house, all inside your house,
all outside of your house. Why, because you understand that
security is your house's defense. You're protecting what's inside of
your house. You're protecting your property, protecting your family, You're
(09:01):
protecting your valuables, You're protecting your pets, you're protecting your peace.
Let me ask you something, and I think this will
shake your theology just a little bit. If you've got
security on your house, where is the security on your heart?
(09:23):
Where's the alarm system on your mind? Where's the surveillance
on your spirit? Where's the protection on your purpose? Some
of y'all got better security on your iPhone than you
got on your emotions. You'll put a ten digit pass
code on your phone, but you'll let anybody access your feelings.
(09:47):
You got face ID on your device, but you don't
have any faith ID on your decisions. Question for you,
who's been robbing you emotionally because you have no security
system on your soul. I'm talking to somebody right now
who's being burglarized in broad daylight. Somebody's stealing your joy
(10:14):
and you don't even hear the alarm. Somebody's robbing you
of your peace and you ain't even called the spiritual popo.
Your purpose is being hijacked, you know why, because you
have no security on your significance. If you don't have
any security on your significance, someone will steal your purpose.
(10:40):
And every time they rob you, your heart breaks a
little more every time they rob you, you lose a
little more trust. Every breach in the wall creates another crack,
Every violation creates another fracture. You got broken walls and
(11:00):
a broken heart, and the enemy is having a field
day in your life. But let me drop something powerful
on you right there. Look at Psalms chapter thirty four,
verse eighteen, because we got a rescue mission coming in.
So I'm thirty four eighteen. The Lord is near to
(11:21):
the broken heart and saves the crushed in spirit. Glory
to God. Did you catch that? When your walls are broken,
when your heart is shattered, you're not alone. You're not
alone in the rubble. You're not alone in your ruins.
(11:42):
You're not alone in the wreckage. The Lord doesn't just
observe your brokenness from a distance. No, he gets near.
The word near in Hebrew means intimate, close, within reach,
within proximity. Your broken heart is not pushing God away.
(12:03):
You might push everybody else away, but you're not pushing
God away. You know what it does, It draws him close.
Your broken spirit isn't separating you from his presence. It's
making you a priority for his proximity when everything else
is broken down. Guess what He shows up when everyone
(12:28):
else backs away from your brokenness. Guess what God leans in.
Some of y'all think God can't use you because your
heart is broken, but listen to me. Your broken heart
is your qualification for God's closeness. Your crushed spirit is
your invitation to his intimacy. God specializes in broken hearts
(12:55):
the same way he specializes in broken walls. Some of
your your emotional walls. Remember that word parats. Your financial
walls parats. Your spiritual walls are paracts. And now everything
that used to be kept out is getting in. Every
(13:18):
toxic person got the cold to your heart. Every negative
thought got the key to your mind. The Bible tells
us to bring every thought into captivity, and you can't
even do that. Every destructive pattern got access to your destiny.
(13:39):
And I want you to see this because what I'm
saying to you right here, right now, it connects powerfully
to what Jesus said over in Matthew chapter twelve, verse
forty three and forty five. Make a note of this.
When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person,
(14:00):
it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none.
Then it says, I will return get this to my
house from which I came. And when it comes, it
finds the house empty, swept and put in order. Then
(14:23):
it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more
evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And
the last state of that person is worse than the first.
Do you see that? This is what Jesus is saying.
(14:45):
And this is what I want you to understand. You
can get delivered but still be unprotected. You can cast
out the demon, but if you don't install a security system,
if you don't se ablish new boundaries, if you don't
fortify your faith, that spirit is going to come back
(15:07):
with a construction crew. The spirit is so bold that
it goes and gets seven other spirits more wicked than
it is. And so when they come back, they don't
just break down more walls. No, you know what they do.
They break your heart deeper. They don't just steal your stuff.
They steal your hope, They steal your joy. They don't
(15:30):
just violate your space, they violate your spirit. And this
is for my people in that I got delivered, but
I'm still struggling. Section Just because you swept the house
don't mean you secure at the house. You need spiritual
adt anointed, divine territory. Let's look at the third wall.
(15:51):
The third wall is the wall of consuming fire. Let's
go back to the verse and mear might one to
three c and it's gates are destroyed by fire. Somebody
needs to lean in and you need to hear this.
We've talked about the walls for the first two Now
(16:12):
we're talking about the gates. Gates represent access points. Everybody
type that access points access points. The gates determine what
comes in and what goes out. But when fire destroys
your gates, you got no control over your traffic. You
(16:37):
have no control over the flow that comes in and
out of your life. You have no control over the
flow that comes in and out of your heart. You
have no control over the flow that comes in and
out of your mind. Question for you, what fires in
your life have destroyed your ability to control what enters
(16:59):
your space. The devil is strategic. He doesn't just break walls, No,
he burns gates. Why because he wants to ensure you
can't regulate your relationships, You can't monitor your mindset, you
can't govern what gets to you. And let me tell
(17:20):
you something about fire. It doesn't just destroy, It deforms,
It doesn't just burn. It leaves scars. Your gates aren't
just gone. Guess what, they're melted. Your access points aren't
just compromised, their charred ruins. Think about it. When your
(17:42):
security system is compromised, thieves get bold. Y'all seen Ocean eleven.
Thieves get bold when they know the When they know
the security system has been compromised, they don't just take
one thing. If they deactivate your security system, they'll back
of you, haul truck up to your house, and they'll
clean you out. And the same thing happens spiritually. When
(18:04):
your gates are burned. The enemy doesn't just steal your joy.
He robs your hope, He robs your peace. He doesn't
just take it. He burglarizes your purpose. For some of you,
the fire of betrayal burns your trust gates. Now you
(18:25):
get people in your life who are still in your energy.
The fire of failure burns your confidence gates. Now fear
is robbing you of opportunities. The fire of fear burned everything,
burns your faith gates, and now doubt has all access
(18:50):
passed to your destiny. Let me say something to you
and let me show you something. And this is so
powerful to me. Whenever where I get a chance to hear,
when I'm reading in my Bible and I get a
chance to hear Satan speak, always lean in specifically when
he speaks, because I'm trying to learn his strategy and
(19:14):
how strategic he is. There's a scripture over in Job
chapter one, verse ten, Job chapter one, verse ten, and
I'm a quote Satan. Satan's talking to God. Let me
give you context. He's talking to God and he has
the nerve to have a complaint to God. Now I
want you to listen to his complaint that he has
(19:37):
with God. And he's talking about job. Satan says this
in Job chapter one, verse ten, and I quote, have
you God, have you not put a hedge a wall
around him and his house and all that he has
on every side? You have blessed the work of his
(19:58):
hands and his possession have increased in the land. So
Satan has had Job under surveillance. Satan wants to get
at job and he can't. He can't get to him,
He can't get to his wife, he can't get to
his children. Job has ten children, and he's trying to
(20:18):
get at his businesses are blessed. Everything that he owns
is increasing in the land. Job is the wealthiest man
on earth. But this is what I learned from this.
Satan recognized God put security systems around his people. That
(20:40):
word hedge means to enclose to fence in, to protect
on every side. The devil had the nerve to be
mad because he couldn't get to job without God's permission.
Without God removing the wall, Joe had divide security that
(21:03):
Hell couldn't hack. Hell could not hack his security system.
But get this, Sometimes sometimes God allows the security system
to go offline, you know why, so he can upgrade
you to military grades, military grade protection. Sometimes he'll let
(21:28):
the fence fall so he can install a fortress. Sometimes
he'll even let your heart break so he can give
you his heart. Let's keep going. Let's look at this
fourth wall. The fourth wall is the wall of holy grief.
I want to introduce this word to you because holy
(21:48):
grief is powerful. I'm not just talking about grief in
and of itself. I'm not just talking about sadness in
and of itself. I'm talking about holy grief, vine grief.
This is the kind of grief that Heaven will respond to.
Let's take a look at the verse Namiah, Chapter one,
(22:08):
verse four, A Meamih says this, He said, as soon
as I heard these words, I sat down and wept.
Now this is where it gets real. I always say this,
What the Bible doesn't say is as important as what
it does say. Me and I didn't organize a committee nearby,
(22:30):
didn't put a post up on Instagram or Facebook or TikTok.
He didn't call a board meeting. He didn't get the
deacons together, he didn't start a go fund me page.
You know the first thing that Niamiah did. Look at
that verse grief. That's what he did. He got news
(22:51):
about the status of the walls in Jerusalem, and it
broke his heart. Question for you, when was the last
time you allowed yourself to truly grieve what's been broken
in your life? So many times we try to say
we just take it on the chin, I got tough
(23:13):
skin and try to keep it moving. Church. We live
in a culture that wants to skip the morning and
get to the morning. We want to breakthrough without the breakdown.
But Nia Mayah shows all of us that holy grief
is the foundation for heavenly intervention. The Hebrew word for
(23:38):
what means to weep aloud, to bewel, to cry with intensity.
What Nea Mayah went through was in our silent tears.
It was vocal anguish. This is when your pain has
(24:01):
a sound, The pain inside of you emanates a sound
that comes out of you. Have you ever experienced that
kind of anguish before? That's the ugly cry times ten.
But watch this. Neilmi wasn't just crying over broken walls.
(24:22):
He was crying because his heart was broken. When you
love something and it's destroyed, when you love something and
it's devastated, when you love someone and they're gone, it
doesn't just affect your environment. It affects your emotions. It
(24:43):
doesn't just change your circumstance. You know what it does.
It changes the whole chemistry, the whole dynamic of who
you are inside. Listen. Broken walls create broken hearts. When
the structures that protected you fail, when the structures that
you believed in fall, when the systems that you secured fall,
(25:06):
when the boundaries that you defined are demolished, your heart
doesn't just witness it, Your heart experiences it. Your tears
are part of your security system. Your tears are the
alarm that goes off when something valuable has been violated.
(25:29):
When you weep over your broken walls, you're not just
being weak. I'll fall out on that floor and cry
in a minute. No, you're acknowledging there's a breach. You're
sounding the spiritual alarm that says I've been robbed and
I need Heaven's response team. But let me show you something,
and I think this will get your attention. Look at
(25:52):
Psalms fifty six, verse eight. This is one of my
top ten scriptures in the Bible. Psalms fifty six, verse eight.
I read the scription years ago and it made me cry.
Psalm's fifty six verse eight. Sam says this. He says
he's talking to God. He says, you have kept count
(26:13):
of my tossings. You have been tossing to and fro
in bed at night. But get this, you have put
my tears in your bottle. My tears are in your possession,
and they're in your bottle. Are they not in your book?
Do you understand what King David is saying. He's saying
(26:35):
that God doesn't just see your tears, He collects them.
He doesn't just notice your crime. He bottles it. Every
tear that falls from your broken heart over your broken
walls is precious to God. God is not just honoring
your grief. You know what he's doing. He's preserving it
(26:57):
for purpose. Some of y'all been crying so long you
think your tears don't matter. But baby, let me tell
you something. God's been filling bottles with your pain. He's
been keeping records of your weakning. And when it's time
to rebuild, Oh, He's going to use every tears holy
water to mix with the sement of your comeback. You
(27:18):
better stop playing with me. Turn your neighbor in the
chap and type. My tears are talking, My tears are talking.
Let's look at the fifth wall. The fifth wall is
the wall of sustained intercession. I wanted to call this
fifth wall the wall of intercession, but I couldn't because
(27:39):
what we're about to read isn't just intercession, it's sustained intercession.
And mee and my chapter one, verse four B listen
to the effect that this had on this man and
mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before
the God of Heaven. Now I want you to pay
(28:01):
attention to n and I's progression not only in N
and I one four B, but also in Me and
I one four eight. Watch his progression. Notice his progression.
Rite it down. He goes from weeping till morning to
fasting to praying. This was no microwave moment for me
(28:21):
and Mayah. This was crop pot consecration for days, not hours,
not moments. Days. You know why I took days Because
when your walls are broken and your heart is broken,
you can't rush the recovery. You can't. And that's what
(28:41):
we try to do. So many times. We try to
tell ourselves, I'm over it, I'm past it, I'm beyond it. No,
you can't fast track healing. You can't expedite the restoration process.
Let me teach you something about spiritual security. Prayer is
(29:03):
your surveillance system. Fasting is your firewall. Worship is your
warning system. When you pray, you're not just talking. You
know what you're doing. When you're praying, you're installing divine
detection that alerts you to every demonic intrusion. But here's
(29:24):
an even deeper revelation. When you fast and pray, where
a broken heart over broken walls, something powerful happens your
broken heart becomes the mortar for your new walls. Your
tears become the cement for your reconstruction. Your pain becomes
the foundation for your protection. Every hour in prayer is
(29:48):
upgrading your spiritual security. Every single day of fasting is
fortifying your fate firewall. So you're not just asking God
for help. You know what you're doing. You're establishing a
perimeter that the enemy can invade. Look at Psalms one
twenty seven, Verse one, Unless the Lord builds the house,
(30:12):
those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord
watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
I hope you did some observation with that one verse,
because there are a couple of words that appear twice,
the word unless in the word vain, the word unless.
(30:36):
That's not a coincidence. That's divine emphasis. Whenever you see
scripture emphasizing a word more than once, it's divine emphasis.
That's the spirit saying, hey, stop park right here, and
let's talk about this. Because in Hebrew, the word unless
means quote unquote, if not, or accept, if not, or except.
(31:03):
In other words, it's an absolute condition that leaves no rooms,
no room for alternatives. The first unless unless the Lord
builds the house. It's talking about construction. You can have
the best architects, you can have the finest materials, you
can have the most skilled workers. But unless unless God
(31:25):
is the general contracting, we're building the house of cards,
and it may look beautiful, your broken walls can't be
properly rebuilt unless the Lord himself is doing the building.
The second unless unless the Lord watches over the city.
(31:45):
What is that talking about. He's talking about protection. You
can have the best security system, the strongest gainst, the
highest wall. But unless God is your security guard, you
just planning pretend protection. Your rebuilt walls can't stay secure
unless the Lord himself is standing watch. Now let's look
(32:08):
at this word vein, because again twice that word is
mentioned in Hebrew. The word vein means empty, It means worthless,
It means deceptive, it means ineffective. So it's not just
that your efforts won't succeed. The Bible is saying your
efforts without God are delusional, they're phantom, they're mirage. The
(32:34):
first vein labor in vain. That means all your sweat,
all of your effort, all of your energy without the Lord.
It's in vain. It's creating emptiness. You're exhausting yourself. You're
building walls that won't stand. You're wearing yourself out, constructing
(32:54):
protection that will not protect you. Your broken heart is
trying to rebuild broken walls. But it's all futility without God.
The second Vein says, stays awakened Vein right. That means
(33:15):
all your vigilance is producing vulnerability. All you're watching is
creating weakness. You're losing sleep over security that's not even secure.
You're burning yourself out trying to guard what only God
can't protect. This is why it's important, because some of
(33:36):
us have been trying to rebuild walls in our own strength.
We've been mixing our own mortar, we've been laying our
own bricks, we've been setting our own boundaries. But it's
all vain. It's all empty, it's all worthless because Psalms
(33:56):
one second one. Unless the Lord builds it, you're just
stack in sand. You're stacking sand all around your life
unless the Lord builds it. Some of y'all been trying
to protect what you've rebuilt in your own power. You've
(34:18):
been standing guard over twenty four to seven because you
don't want nobody to take it from You've been checking
every corner, you've been monitoring every movement. But again it's
all vain. You're wearing yourself out. It's all deceptive security
because again I gotta stress this. Unless the Lord watches it,
(34:39):
you're just a sitting duck. This is why for some
of us, our walls keep falling. This is why for
some of us, our hearts keep breaking. This is why
for some of us we've been building in vain. We've
been watching in vain because we've been doing it without
the only one who can make it and who can
(35:00):
make it secure. You can't build what God has in blueprinting.
I'm sorry. That's what the Bible says. You cannot build
what God has not blueprinted. You cannot construct what Heaven
hasn't commission. But watch this. You also can't secure what
(35:22):
God is in supervising because God is not just your builder,
He's also your security guard. That's what that verse. That's
what that verse is telling you in Psalms on twenty
seven one. And so this is for my people in
the I'm tired of being robbed section. Some of you
all have been trying to protect yourself with your plans,
(35:43):
your power, your protocols, your ideas. But if God ain't
your security company, you're just playing with toy locks when
he wants to give you Heaven's protection. Let's keep going.
Sixth wall, the wall of divine process. Now let this
to Philippius, Chapter one, verse six, Olympians one six. I
(36:05):
real outedesv and try not to quote it from the
King James. And I'm sure of this that He who
began a good work in you will bring it to
completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Listen, God is
the master builder who never starts what he won't finish.
(36:25):
Whatever God has started, he's going to finish. But here's
the key. He's not just rebuilding what was. He's constructing
what's supposed to be with supernatural security. He who has
begun a good work in you shall complete it until
the day of Christ. That just simply means you're under construction.
(36:48):
I'm under construction. We're all under construction. God is working
a work in all of us. But here's a question
for you. Are you willing to let God you use
your broken heart as the foundation for your future, for
your future fortress are you willing to submit to that process.
(37:11):
Let's look at the seventh wall. This is the wall
of redemptive purpose. Let me show you something powerful, and
I want you to look at what Niamiah says It's over.
In Neamiah chapter two, verse seventeen. Neamire chapter two, verse seventeen,
Niamah says this. He says, then I said to them,
you see the trouble we're in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins,
where its gates burned. Come let us build the walls
(37:33):
of Jerusalem that we may no longer suffer derision. I
want you to see this. Pay attention. Neami's broken heart
became his building motivation. His tears became his testimony, His
mourning became his movement. What I mean is this, he
(37:57):
didn't stay in his group. He let his grief propel
him push him to purpose. Some of you all have
been sitting in your broken place so long that you've
decided to decorate it. You put a curtains in your crisis,
(38:22):
You've installed carpet in your catastrophe. But God is saying, listen,
your broken walls, your broken heart was never meant to
be your permanent address, y'all, got candles gone, y'all got
the breeze gone. God is saying, will you please come
up out of there? That was never meant to be
(38:45):
your permanent dwelling place. You know what it was supposed
to be. It was supposed to be your testimony. I
believe it's Revelation twelve ten ten. We overcome by the
blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony.
Out come out wherever you are. The eighth wall, this
is the wall of corporate brokenness. Now stay in Nearmiah
(39:08):
two seventeen. But I want you to look at the language.
I want you to look at the wording. Look at
how this man is speaking. You see the trouble we
are in Niamiah didn't say you are in. He didn't
say they are in. He said we are in this mess.
(39:29):
His heart was broken because he identified with the brokenness
of others. Question for you, when was the last time
someone else's broken walls broke your heart? This is the
problem with modern Christianity, this is the problem with the
(39:51):
so called church. We see broken walls. We talk about
other people's broken walls, We gossip about other people's broken hearts.
We see broken walls as individual instead of corporate, instead
of having a corporate unified body of Christ's concerned. Nope,
(40:15):
we're gonna scroll right past people's pain. We swipe left
through people's struggles. We've become so desensitized as a body
of believers, we become desensitized to devastation that broken walls
don't even break our hearts anymore. Praying for you and
we just step right over it. But Nea Mayah puts
(40:40):
all of us to shame. Neamiah shows us that true ministry,
true ministry happens when other people's broken walls break your heart.
When you can't sleep because your brother is exposed, when
you can't eat because your sister is vulnerable, turn to
(41:00):
your neighbor in the chat and tight Your broken walls
break my heart. We are to be ashamed of ourselves
as Christians? How aloof we can be when we hear
about the devastation ruins in other people's lives and we
just keep it going, We just keep it moving. Yeah,
(41:25):
your broken walls break my heart. Let's go to the
ninth wall. This is the wall of generational protection. And
I think this is my favorite wall of all of
the walls that we've looked at so far, we're going
to look at a total of ten. The ninth wall
is the wall of generational protection. Listen to me carefully.
(41:48):
The walls you refuse to rebuild don't just affect you,
They affect your seed. The breaches you ignore become inheritances,
inheritance of insecurity for your children. Let me give you
a scripture Proverbs thirteen twenty two. A good man leaves
(42:10):
an inheritance to his children. That's awesome, that's good. But
let me ask you this, What kind of inheritance are
you leaving if you won't rebuild your walls? What kind
of legacy are you establishing if you let your family
(42:30):
live lives that are exposed to the enemy. What kind
of future are you creating if your children grow up
without boundaries, without protection, without security. And let me get
real with you, because some of you are so focused
on leaving your kids some money that you're forgetting to
leave them some walls. You're so concerned about their education
(42:54):
that you're neglecting their protection. You're so worried about their
opportunities that you're ignoring their security. Question, for you, what
good is it to leave your children a fortune? If
you leave them defenseless. I'm talking to parents right now.
I'm talking to grandparents right now. I'm talking to great grandparents.
(43:18):
I'm talking to aunties, the TT's, I'm talking to the unks.
The enemy isn't just after you, He's after your bloodline.
Please hear me. He's not just trying to breach your walls.
He's trying to ensure your children never have any walls.
(43:40):
Listen to what me Andmiah says in chapter four. And
this is why I love this man so much, Nia Maya,
chapter four, verse fourteen. Neia Mayah is a man's man.
I'm telling y'all, if y'all haven't read that book, y'all
need to pull up and read this man's book, because
it blesses me every time I go to these pages.
Nia and Maya, chapter four, verse fourteen. And I looked
(44:04):
and the rose and said to the nobles and to
the officials, and to the rest of the people here
it is, do not be afraid of them. Remember the
Lord who is great and awesome, and.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
Fight for your brothers, fight for your sons, fight for
your daughters, fight for your wives, fight for your homes.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
Did you catch that, Fight for your sons, fight for
your daughters. Fight for your legacy, fight for your generations,
fight for your descendants. The walls you build aren't just
for you. The walls you build are for generations. The
protection you established now isn't just for today, It's for tomorrow.
(44:54):
The security you installed it isn't just for now. It's
for those who come after you. Some of you, I
get it. Your parents didn't leave you walls. My parents
didn't leave me walls. They left you exposed, They left
you vulnerable. They left you without boundaries, without protection, without security.
But if you're not careful, you're gonna repeat the same cycle.
(45:20):
You're passing down the same exposure. But God is saying,
let it stop with you. This is where it stops.
This is where I draw the line. This is the
line of demarcation right here. I got kids, and I
got grandkids behind me. Some of you all got kids
(45:41):
and grandkids behind you as well. Let the generational curse
of broken walls end in your generation. Let the family
tradition of exposure terminate on your watch. Let the bloodline
breach be sealed by your obedience. Turn your neighbor into
(46:02):
chat and type. I'm building walls for generation. Listen your
children are watching you live with broken walls and then
learning that it's normal. You are normalizing broken walls, broken relationships,
broken heart, broken spirits. You're normalizing it in front of
(46:25):
your children. Your grandchildren are growing up in homes without boundaries,
thinking that it's acceptable. Hear me. When you rebuild your walls,
you teach your children and your grandchildren. You're teaching them
that protection is possible. When you establish your security, you
(46:50):
show them that safety is available. So I just want
to speak to somebody right now and let you know
that the walls you build in this season will protect
your children you haven't even had yet. The boundaries that
you established today will secure your grandchildren even though you
haven't met them yet. The security you installed now wiguard
(47:13):
generations that you will never even see with your natural eyes.
Can I tell you something, This is bigger than you.
This is about your legacy. You care about your legacy, right,
I know you do. This is about your lineage. This
is about ensuring that your grandchildren's grandchildren don't have to
(47:35):
fight the same demons you're fighting. Why, because you built
walls that hell can't penetrate. Remember what job? What Satan
said about job, job had a wall around him and
his children, and an enemy couldn't do nothing with it.
Let's get at this tenth wall. This is the wall
of divine permission. Nea myers is. It's such a sad
(48:00):
he got. He's such a well thought out, well planned brother.
And I love this brother. Look at Niamiah chapter two,
verse five and six. And I said to the king,
for those of you all who don't know, Niamiah is
the cup bearer. He's a cup bearer to the king.
Niamiyah isn't even in Jerusalem. When Niamiah first got news
here this and when this happens, and from the first
(48:24):
chapter to the second chapter, it's four months. Four months
have passed since he first got news of what the walls,
the condition of Jerusalem, the condition of the remnants. Four
months have gone by. And this is where we are
right here in Niaomiah chapter two, verse five to six.
He's a cup bearer nicodemon, Nicodemon. Niamiah has a job
(48:47):
with benefits. Niamiah has a government job. Namiah ain't hurting
for nothing. He is the man next to the man,
but his mind is on the remnant back in Jerusalem.
I just want to give you that, because I want
you to have a little bit more context for where
we are. Neamiah Chapter two, verse five and six. And
I said to the King, if it pleases the King,
(49:10):
and if your servant me, if I found favor in
your sight. He said, I want you to send me
to Judith, to the city of my father's graves, that
I may rebuild it. And the King said to me,
the queen sitting beside him, how long will you be gone?
And when will you return? So it pleased the King
(49:30):
to send me when I had given him a time.
Let me give you this as well. The King is
going to finance everything that Niamiah wants to do. Remember
this all started because this man was broken because of
some news that he received. There's a principle here. The
same broken heart that drove me Amiyah to prayer also
(49:55):
drove him to receive permission. His brokenness didn't qualified him,
you know what it did. His brokenness qualified him. His
tears didn't make him weak, They made him worthy. The
king saw something in this man. The King saw something
in me and MIA's broken heart. It moved him to
give Niamiah a full release, full resources. Can I tell
(50:19):
you something sometimes God will use your broken heart to
unlock doors that your whole heart never could have opened.
Sometimes your pain is your permission slip to purpose. Let
me give you these call to actions so I can
get you up out of here. Number one, Conduct the
spiritual security audit. Call the action. Number one. I want
(50:43):
you to do a spiritual security audit. I want to
challenge you to examine every area of your life. And
this is what I want you to do. Ask yourself,
where am I being robbed? Who has unauthorized access to
your emotions? What thoughts are stealing your peace? Which relationships
(51:11):
are burglarizing your purpose? I want you to sit down,
pray about it, think about it, write it down, and
then this is what you're going to do. The last
step in this process, You're going to revoke their access.
But I also want you to ask yourself this question
as well. Where is my heart broken? And what devastation
(51:35):
have I been ignoring? What ruins have I been avoiding?
What walls have I been pretending down? It's time to
acknowledge your brokenness so God can address your brokenness. Go
back in your heart and ask yourself, are there some
(51:57):
people that I lost that I just tried to keep
it moving. That I didn't do like Nea Mayah, he
sat and he wept. That's contemplative grieving. Did you really
sit and contemplate? When I had got news that my
friend twenty years minister Kevin Wilson passed away, I sat
(52:18):
on my couch all day. I ain't take no phone calls.
I didn't want to talk to nobody. I just needed
to contemplate my entire friendship with that man. I needed
to sit in that moment. I didn't want to get
up and let me go get some gas and nope, nope, nope.
This man meant too much for me to try to
get all busy. So when I'm asking you to do,
(52:40):
go back, go back into some grief, go back into
some moments or you've lost some people, and really ask yourself,
did I really get through that process? Because here's the
reason why this is important, because it can still manifest
itself in other areas of your life and you're not
even you're not even aware of it. Okay, Number two
(53:02):
second call to action, install your prayer security system. This
is what I want you to do, specifically, write this down.
For the next seven days. I want you to establish
prayer checkpoints throughout your day. Morning prayer that's your perimeter check,
(53:24):
noon prayer, that's your surveillance review. Evening prayer, that's your
security briefing with Heaven. That's when you're gonna sit down
and go over everything with Heaven. And this is what
I want you to do. Document every breach attempt that
the enemy makes, because he's going to try to make
(53:44):
some attempts to breach your spirit, to breach your mind,
to breach your heart. But you need to sit down,
and you need to write this out, and you need
to understand the strategies of the enemy because he's very
strategic and how he attacks all of us. But I
don't want you to just pray about your broken walls.
(54:06):
I want you to pray from your broken heart, same
way Neamia did. Let your tears be part of your prayer.
Let your pain be part of your petition to God.
Let your grief be part of your groaning. God responds
to authentic agony. Sometimes we don't even know what to pray.
(54:26):
We'll just start moaning and willing and crime. Hear me,
the Holy Spirit can interpret all of that. Okay, Number three,
this is probably the most important one. I need you
to establish new access codes, establish new access codes. You know,
(54:48):
if somebody gets if somebody breaks, if somebody hacks your
phone or gets into your access codes or your ATM,
what do you do? You're changing, you change, you don't
keep the same number. And I pray y'all not out
here using one, two three four or zero zero zero zero. No,
I dare you to change the passwords to your heart.
(55:11):
Change the passwords to your heart. Not everybody deserves entry
to your emotions. Not every opportunity deserves access to your energy.
I've had some opportunities come forth in ministry, and I
am not putting any energy into it. If it's for me,
(55:35):
then it'll be for me. But if you think I'm
gonna go run after this and run after this, run
after that, no, I'm gonna stay right on this wall
and keep doing what God has called me to do.
So again, not every opportunity deserves access to your energy.
So for the next twenty one days, everybody, say twenty
one days. For the next twenty one days, before you
(55:58):
give anyone or anything access to your heart, ask God
do they have heaven clearance? And if God says no,
then your answer is no. And while you're establishing new
(56:20):
access codes. Here's something that you need to do. Let
God access the broken places while you're establishing new access codes.
Let God access the broken places. Stop trying to hide
your hurt from God. Give God the access code to
your broken heart. The thing that I love about this
(56:41):
teaching is this, I'm so powerful because Nearby's tears became
the blueprint for Jerusalem's restoration. And the fact that he
actually went down there and rebuilt those walls around that city.
Understand he had opposition. I don't want you to think
(57:05):
this was a smooth construction project, because it wasn't. Neamyah
told them people, look, get a shovel in one hand
and a sword in the other hand. Neomyah wasn't playing
with nobody. And that's how you have to be. You
have to be vigilant, you have to be watchful. You
have to be mindful that the enemy goes about as
(57:25):
a roaring line, seeking to the vow whom he may.
But the thing that I love about me and Mayah
is that that man's broken heart became the foundation for
a fort to five future. So what I'm learning from
this is this, your grief can become the gateway to
your greatest security in God, But you gotta be willing
(57:46):
to let him in. Some of you have been robbed
for so long, robbed of your joint, robbed of your peace,
robbed of your love. I get it, but that's not normal.
You're starting to think it's normal. You're starting to expe
the worst. That's not normal. You've gotten used to people
stealing your joy and hijacking your hope and burglarizing your blessings.
(58:08):
Your heart has been broken so many times you stop
expecting your heart to behold But let me encourage you.
Right now, your broken walls are about to become your breakthrough.
Your broken heart is about to become a beacon of
hope for you. Your tears are about to become trophies.
Your tears are watering your blessings. Your grief is about
(58:30):
to become your glory. And those walls won't just protect you.
Remember what we talked about. They're going to protect your children.
They're going to protect your grandchildren, and they're going to
protect your grandchildren's grandchildren. Your obedience, your desire to rebuild,
(58:51):
is going to establish a legacy of protection that outlives
your pain, and it outlash your problems, and as all
always love to say, get into the word of God,
and the word of God will get into you, and
I will see you next time. Loving nature, Peace,
