God's Wall Will Not See Decay

Daily Devotions:
by Christina Farris

Isaiah 44:9-28 KJV
9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
10 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?
11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.
12 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
13 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.
14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.
15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.
16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.
18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
19 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
21 Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.
22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
23 Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.
24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
25 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;
26 That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:
27 That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:
28 That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

I am providing three time frames for the time of wall being found with decay and faith, one in Isaiah, one in Nehemiah and one in Ephesian. Nehemiah actually comes with the actual restoration of the wall. Isaiah begins the prophesy of the decay and spiritual restoration coming with Christ Jesus. If we look at these three time periods a part of the process of Spiritual fall, Spirituality restoration possible through symoblism, and then the actual restoration spiritual we see Christ coming as the most beautiful work of God ever designed for man to fully see in scripture with hope of eternity promised by God. It probably the most desire knowledge out there to those reading scripture to understand the fall and the rise of Christianity in the Jewish world, why Christ was necessary, why Christ is clearly seen as the word of God. Prophesy of the fall because of man idolatry which leads to sin. The wall of protection around God's people being particially removed, so the enemy can take his people that are uncircumcised outside of Israel so they can learn why they were not to bow to the idols of this world. We see a state of depraivity in Israel with the seige of Jerusalem that would cause the final fall if you do enough research in scripture. Yet we also see the exile of Israel in need of restoration, need of returning to their original faith, a need to be restore to right standing with God. With the wall having faced decay in several areas, the wall in need of repair. Spiritually there are time in our life that need repair work. Sometimes God just removes it and other times we just need God's word to continue molding us in to fit into the wall, because God will restore a believer to right standing with him to enable each believer be built by the creator you gave them life, to build us for his wall. God wants to put protection around his people to keep them from the world of sin and he does so through Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Our knowledge of the word of God enables us to be solid in our faith, solid stone to be put into the wall of faith. The word of God both prophetic, physical in coming and hope for the future coming in knowledge by his Spirit.

Israel decay came when those outside of Israel in faith began to enter into the community of Israel in world trade, and intermarriage of faith. Children no longer built on the principal of God but on faith in idols built by the hands of man. (Romans 1). The wall of Israel faith becoming decayed. It is happening in America by the same route. Our declaration we are christian nation is far from truth and yet many believers are still fortunately in political office. Yet our wars are not about faith because our nation is so mixed with many faiths within it and even our government, that our wars are not economical issues dealing with trade, safety of trade and protection of people concerning their rights. No one cares what anyone believes. I often to laid back myself on faith not my own but allowing others to think and decide for themselves to the point my outreach becomes quiet through a simple link, a simple message of hope in Christ. I welcome discussion on scripture to anyone needing help, i not perfect in scripture, but I do know my way around my Bible. There is a point, ministers and teachers can not shove their faith, but they really need to follow the Spirit to know when to press their faith to see strong holds fall. God's wants to build new stone and enable them to be strong in faith to not be a block of decay on his wall any longer.

Israel when they began to return 70 years after exile began the rebuilidng process. The fall after and during prophetic time frames. Then we see fear hit in the time of Nehemiah rebuilding of the wall because of the enemy mocking and causing scrimages, yet they had permission of King Cyrus to build the wall. They had the protection of God's word that also spoke of the fall of the wall because of Idolatry and sin. The rebuilding to bring his people back to be recircumcize in faith, not by human hand but by God through the work of Christ on earth. Ephesians 2 explains this well and posted below. The wall being torn down and then restore, so the reason for circumsion of faith is understood. We forget our heart of faith is built by the hand of God by the Holy Spirit, we are made anew in Christ day by day, anew by his word, renew to God in belief in the flesh of Christ through his death and resurrection.

We can get lost in all the outward demonstration of God's word to loose sight of the word, that Christ has always been the chief cornerstone of faith, because he is the word that became flesh(John 1:1-14). God wants us to rely first on his word that faith in his Son will take away the sins of the world. That our hope comes with being resurrected with Christ. That our faith is not just a time of first belief but an on going work in our life by his word being effective in our life even today, whether through prophesy, through his still small voice giving instruction to do his will and so forth and not least to those that are alive upon Christ return to be caught away into the clouds with Christ or those who have gone before to be with Christ Jesus our hope and longing, to be present in the hope of return either on this side of glory or the other side of glory. God through Christ wants to make you a solid stone to be in his wall he is building in his new kingdom. Will you allow God to make you solid through his word or will you ignore it and only hold to your own understanding without faith in God. Are you making idols of stone that will not build a wall of faith in God. It okay to believe the prophetic words of the teachers and preachers, but do not bow your knee to them. They can not save you beyond the giving you the word of l God, giving you knowledge of the one that can save you through his word/and Son Christ Jesus.

Countdown day 18 is thank God that faith in him does not bring spiritual decay, but makes us people of incorruption both body and Spirit in heavenly places.

Dear Heavenly Father restore your children and break the wall of partion between the heathens to establish your word in their heart that Jesus came to save them too. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

Continual Scripture Study: Ephesians 2:8-22 KJV
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: Nehemiah 4:1-23 KJV
1 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.
2 And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?
3 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.
4 Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity:
5 And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.
6 So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
7 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
8 And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
9 Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
10 And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.
11 And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
12 And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you. 13 Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
14 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
15 And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.
16 And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
17 They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
18 For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
19 And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.
20 In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.
21 So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.
22 Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day.
23 So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing.
