RHEMA 9/23/08  rebuild the walls first

HEARD:  Maintenance.  I will set you free.

HEARD:  That which has fallen, life will be rebuilt.  Schedule according to plan.  The walls come up first.  Excellent.  To surround you in safety.

WORD TO PONDER:  rebuild the walls first 9/23/08

Yes you are walking in a narrow place, doing everything you can to keep from losing ground.  It is a daily contending to maintain that which you have been given to steward.  You have cried out for more grace, more room from this constriction.  I have watched your brave efforts and have much mercy for you My child.  I will set you free. 

Beloved that which has fallen will be rebuilt.  You have suffered within the throngs of delay, but in My timing, all is perfectly scheduled according to plan.  You seek to recover your losses, even as you endeavor to maintain what you have.  Precious one, you will be unable to keep that which you recover, if your walls are not secure.  I AM concentrating on patching and fortifying your walls for safekeeping.  These walls are self discipline; to be able to rule over your own spirit with temperance, balance and faithfulness.  In this season of maintenance, I AM building your character so that when I restore what you have lost, then you will be able to keep it.  Do you understand My child?  Yes, you understand.

Prov 25:28  NKJV

Whoever has no rule over his own spirit  is like a city broken down, without walls.

2 Chron 14:7  NKJV

Therefore he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities and make walls around them, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered.

Ps 51:18  NKJV

Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem.
