Want to know how to reverse the curse?

The curse that’s crippled you for far too long?

Then you need to read this

Prepare 4 Warfare this week is all about reversing the curse of words

And how the power of words spoken over you, are not only cruel and hurtful

But, put you in strongholds that can cripple your growth

So, we need to learn how to reverse the curse

The book of Nehemiah is a great example of how to reverse the curse of words

That are being spoken to you

And after this post

You’ll become just like Nehemiah

A black belt in word-power jujitsu

That will be so powerful

You’d be able to take down Chuck Norris in a game of scrabble any day of the week

PREPARE 4 WARFARE

So, the story of Nehemiah

I’ll give you the skinny

Nehemiah is directed by the Spirit of God to rebuild the temple and city walls

The King told him to go ahead and rebuild

But when Sanballat, Tobiah and Gesham hear about this, they’re not happy

So, they started a word warfare with Nehemiah

“What is this thing that you are doing?” Nehemiah 2:19

“What are these feeble Jews doing?” Nehemiah 4:2

“Whatever they build, if even a fox goes up on it, he will break down their stone wall.” Nehemiah 4:3

Does any of this sound familiar?

Nobody bothers you when you’re doing nothing about what God told you to do

But, oh boy, when you start to get serious

When you start to rebuild the walls of your dream

And you not only talk the talk about your vision for the future God has for you

But, actually start walking the walk, step by baby step

Your Sanballat, Tobiah and Gesham will be onto you

Quicker than your willpower at an all-you-can-eat buffet

REVERSE THE CURSE

And just like, Nehemiah experienced

They’ll try to intimidate you with their words

Telling you that you’re, “wasting your time”

Or maybe you’re, “not smart enough to do that”

And, “It sounds like an awful lot of work”

I’ve come to realise, (and it’s taken a fair while)

That all they really want you to do is to stop rebuilding your walls

Because it’s making them feel uncomfortable

They’re afraid that what God wants to rebuild in your life

Will be so remarkable

That they won’t have a hold over you anymore

God told you to rebuild the walls

Doing it later or waiting until other people feel comfortable about it, isn’t an option

No matter how many words were sent to stop him

Nehemiah’s response was to let them know, that he wasn’t coming down off the wall

The amount of attention Nehemiah gave to their words was

Zip, nowt, narder

And you need to do the same

The enemy’s ploy is to distract you with people’s negative words

And make you give up rebuilding that wall

But, you have to reverse the curse!

Stop listening to them and start listening to God

Your Prepare 4 Warfare strategy this week

Is to reverse the curse of those words that have been spoken over you

Get into God’s Word (that’s the Bible)

And discover what He says about you

Don’t stop the good work God has called you to do

Do something truly remarkable with your life

I believe in you, my friend

You’ve got this one in the bag

Because you are total awesomeness!
