So we go to Nehemiah 4. I'm going to read a couple verses and then I'm going to then we'll fill in the dots. A man the amount for if you got to say I got it. obesity times and hold up Alright y'all Bible scholars.

To watch this already from the good news translation most arousing read from the in the same wise. And it reads like this. I'm broke. I'm doing verses 1 through 3, and then I'm going to jump down to 16 through 18 verses 1 through 3 that I'll jump down a 16. May I keep looking up at these TVs and he's a Macos read off the screen. Amen. Thank the Lord watch this website about heard that we Jews have begun rebuilding the wall. He became Furious and began to ridicule us. Watch this in front of his companions. And the Samaritan troops, he said what do these miserable Jews think they are doing do they intend to rebuild the city do they think by offering sacrifices? They can finish Sunday. Can they make building stones out of heaps of burnt Rubble? It to buy it was standing there beside him and he added what kind of woman could they ever build even a fox could knock it down? 1616 fries like this from then on half my men worked and have stood guard wearing coats of an armed with Spears Shields and bows and our leaders gave their full support to the people who were rebuilding the wall watch this even those who carry building materials work with one hand and kept a weapon in the oven y'all said y'all catch that next Friday. They work with one hand. It had a weapon. dim the other and everyone was building kept a sword strapped to the waist strap and the man who was who was the sound the alarm on the bugle stayed with Michoacana stores shopping stores or y'all Before my text on today, I want to come from this store is fight or flight. Tell your neighbor fight or flight. Find somebody said she looks like fight or flight. one more time for Holy Ghost fight or flight Are you may be seated in God's presence? Haven't you been haven't seen a man fight? or I won't be long I won't be long fight or Let me borrow my notes. Amen. If I didn't say Amen fight or play fight or flight. It's interesting as we build the city of the foundation of what's going on in Nehemiah for the past month or so in and through the first three chapters of Nehemiah. We tried to build the background Amen to the the Monumental project that God has put in nehemiah's hands. I'm come back and fill in the dark, but I want to jump to this chapter 4 because last week but I'm trying to stay on schedule to fix the gate to gate to the note you control what goes in and out a man of your territory. So we talked about all those the Eastern Gate fish gate. I mean we cover the gate so we know they represent something spiritually a man every one of those Twelve Gates to the city, but we get to chapter 4 and we've heard me say before we talked about sanballat and tobiah and all the enemies who were who were talkin stuff. Amen and wondering why me and Maya had to be given permission to go back in rebuild, but we get the check for your now going to see where the rubber meets the road a man. You're you're never going to see all this planning. We've been talkin about Vision casting office dreaming now is about to be put to the test a man and what usually happens a man. Usually sometimes what happens when you're getting ready to actually start doing what you been talkin about a man that becomes a moment where you become a little bit nervous a man. Maybe don't have been there done it anything you think is Monumental in your life, but you been talkin good stuff about it. I mean, you've been telling everybody I'm getting ready to do it. I've been playing I've been reading books. I've been going to meetings. I've been going since I've been I've been going to zoom calls. I've been I've been online doing my thing to get ready for that moment a man. But when you get to the moment you get sweaty Palms a menu you get a knot in your throat because now all that talkin you was doing all that planet you have now is about to be put to the test. Amen and listen to school. class and it must be a part of this before the fight or flight response a man in a fight or flight response at the end of the day and I want to get behind the signs a little bit because it's actually called acute stress response write that down some stress responses and we call it by the flight because it's the reaction watch this that occurs in the presence of said it's terrifying either mentally or physically Let me build a 4 minute hang out with me a man that this once you're facing something that you seem to be terrifying that that seems to be too big for you. Watch this that seems to be impossible because it says stay and deal with the threat or run away to safety something in mind that's released when I'm facing the moment of execution were either. I'm going to stay and face it. I'm going to run back home. Okay? I'm maybe maybe none of y'all at that moment where you had to face something that seemed to be insurmountable. Maybe you've never had to make life-or-death decision. And because you didn't want to make it because you were nervous you make no decision at all. But but but I would say there's a spiritual context in this fight or flight response because in this life, you will have to deal with some Troublesome situations. You going to have to deal with some where are some people you got to deal with some ambient focus and you actually sooner or later you will have to make a decision whether to deal with it or let it deal with you and I wanted to hurt somebody on today that we're about to take the fight to Amen to the enemy forces running for retreat MLK some of y'all next Thursday y'all made up in my mind instead of letting up time. I'm going to take the fight to the enemy y'all because I'm running It's time out for us as Believers with running from a situation like the people at the Battle of Jericho don't you know who you represent? It don't you know who's pinky toes kids you are don't you know whose family that you will long to get you got a 30 in your mouth and everywhere you stop being so stop being scared the whole life don't ever put your foot down and say I'm fighting it and I ain't playing no more. Okay, so we got to I'm going somewhere I can let it out front that we got the fight.

Anytime they want to fight because I have to sacrifice but you don't have to go through would have to be squeezed have any question because it's fight or flight time.

And let me curse me for getting only because you wonder why you're going through what you're going through because anything of value especially in the plant or fruit family has to be squeezed out of it another word to get that good lemon juice that you want. You got to squeeze them.

Squeeze all of y'all. Can I tell you the Press is not comfortable twisting and turning it back. It's going to make you watch this but not want to fight but take flight just because nobody likes to be uncomfortable.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, baby. But y'all in this house that you like me and I don't want to be squeezed. I don't want to be punished. I don't want to be pushy. I just want God to do what I got to do what he has to do sometimes. squeeze in process us to get us ready watch this to build your city because what happens is we think that building is easy a man, but I've learned it going through like the Anythink that you got. The bill is a process to it. Hey, I'm at the text into the text before and now cuz last week me and my assigned all the families you put them near their gate so that they would have to deal what's going on in my community in the gate. All these different a map of how what had been broken. So we got that in playoffs are back up.

It's always one says, you know something we don't like our assignment. We don't like you expected to give a take-home gift. And if anybody's child that didn't like that goody bag.

Is 29 kids in there and alternator good. It's only been giving and then I got to talk and scream and turn to find that one bag that this child want to take home because he can't take what everybody else or she.

So in the last week because of all the families who was good to go. It was one family is that now, you know, so we don't like y'all telling us what to do. We don't we don't like a sauna and everybody else is good to go. Let us get at it and it's always one. Amen this whole process. It's always ones that got something bad to say about sing something good and I want to help you always be one there will always be somebody who's got something to say that there was really going on. I'm trying to figure out why somebody who's going to get what you trying to do. Tell at that's for free, I'll take that home a man figure out who that is Pentagon rebuilding the wall. He he became Furious and began to ridicule us. I love this in front of his companions in front of his homies in whole mess. In the summer to be said what do y'all missable? f*** your miserable juice? What y'all think y'all doing? Y'all don't plan on trying to rebuild. Do you do you think about you offering up watch this sacrifice? Hey, man, it's going to be easier to do you think you can build stone out of all this Rubble on my good is it so much in that one verse because it's what you decide that you're getting ready to see that it's from a distance But now that you getting close to getting to be to start rebuilding sister girl, you know, you can fix your family know you can't make no changes in your life that there is no way your daddy was off at your mama was your whole family know where you going to be able to fix the situation. Now you with enough time playing at you waste no time getting in prayer last if you wasted enough time trying to fulfill your mission. This is a joke a baby don't do you waste your time and I didn't, somebody is about that time with people that you should know that you get closer to what God has called you to your destiny cuz that's when the enemy has to use people to throw you off your game.

I'm sorry to do this. Not cuz you know how it is. It's okay.

Hey, stop talking stop. About these these Jewish folk. And sometimes I learned that people that make fun of somebody's trying to do because they don't do what somebody else trying to do. They pay probably not with you that it's the fact that you could actually go through with it actually doing this. They trying to throw you off your game.

Because they have some internal issues going on on the inside. So they reflect on the outside by trying to keep you with them. I can't get to it. You ain't getting to it. Okay, y'all. Let's go back a chapter 2 can they said they get a pass to come for me to be here in the world. Did you even get here because God is on your mind is to be a blessing to you.

They just mad they just mad. Does this is really actually trying to fix your wife? What to put down that bottle really do you want to stop smoking to do the right thing in your family do you doing what you doing? Because misery loves company y'all don't want to be by themselves whenever you get closer to God moving you to listen. Listen, you ain't you ain't trying to do that. They worship. sacrifices You can finish in one day you think just cuz you come to church and lift our hands in the sanctuary that God is going to bless that thank you Lord, cuz that's what the enemy wants you to think. He wants to do that if you don't worship everything still going to be alright, you giving your teeth make you feel that what you doing is going through the motions to do in your life is not even worth it that they want to do. The thing is not even worth all this she trying to do this. Even working trying to make a change all this time you put into him and I can't tell you wanted to speak about you that yesterday all this time you trying to do?

To make because you offered sacrifices and then the last one.

stones

because for three chapters, we've been looking back. I'm looking at the Broken City. And if you look back you'll see everything that's going wrong. And they had the audacity to say you think you can turn this broken down stuff into something powerful. I want I want I want to cry I want to cry y'all out. I want to cry because somebody else to look at it. I'll look at it. There's no way that God can use this rubbish to build something to do something with this beast and take that picture and put it with this biscuit and put it all back together.

Turn a McCarthy use mobile doctor use Rubble. Yea, yea yea yea Lord Lord. Help me back. My boys. That's the first three to watch. This is my first

10 never feel your frustration Okay, can we be honest how many y'all actually feel frustrated? Don't don't lie in church.

Columbiana I'm pretty sure but I feel frustrated.

Picture of trying to do the right thing. I'm still frustrated. I'm doing everything the Bible telling me to do and I still got stuff going on in my life was going to happen. If I said yes, I'm blessed and highly favored.

Feels like I'm trying to do what they told me to do. I'm trying to rebuild pasta, but it's easier said than done. And what happened and then watch this I want to throw in the towel and give up. No matter what I do. I'm trying to do I'm trying to get excited, but you don't know how frustrated I am.

Sometimes you need to feel. Your frustration because it's in your frustration that you won't learn.

The first thing they say in the text is a praise. whoops

best rated the first thing I did in the text but not be praying.

Cuz we don't want to pray like we don't want to take time out. It is funny. I talked every week about Nehemiah and almost 20 times in the text. He Consulting God. Why you frustrated because you ain't about anything you called that one. Can you call this one? You call the dog?

Now listen coconut catch this now because some of y'all who ain't got saved enough yet, and you've been me and Maya. How do you spell Thomas stuff today? Somebody I know for real. You know, it probably would have been playing.

You knew you wouldn't you wouldn't want if you don't want me to lose my religion. You don't want me to put this on the Shelf.

You better you better call me about it. That would be glad they pray.

Okay.

Kansas State

What are y'all been there? I don't got much left. I don't know what to do.

So we got the first field station and watch this.

when I call some spiritual and physical fatigue

Look at this number 10, they want to song watch the song they wrote. people shoot ahead of song Is cellulitis as we grow weak carrying burdens? There's trouble to take away. How can we build the wall? today In other words the First Rate about what's going on, they're worn out by life and it got somebody give me the blues song.

You know blue song is really the sing the blues that you got this my baby left me. I got nowhere to go. I don't know the rest of the song but it's always said, you know, you know who they are blue song based on what they were going to do a burnout.

Turn up the volume.

So they are. They are fearful. Based on what they see in frustrated and fatigued and look at burst number 12. I'm moving my second one is you got to fix your fear?

Fix your fear verse 12 but time of a Time Jews who are living among our enemies came to warn us the plans. Our enemies were making against us is so much. itsfunneh it says they came and told me what was going on. They were literally so close to where the enemy was. They can hear the plans of the enemy. What what like what are you trying to say in this one? Then you got to be so spiritually connected to the Lord. It'll help you discern what the enemy trying to do.

bamboozled by people with church folk We got Bamboozled by people we trust it. Is school in in public in your family member and they took advantage of the situation? I had a little bit more special to Cermak. Maybe I could have caught a glimpse of what they were trying to do. You should be glad that somebody would have been a man that can tell you what's going on in the spiritual world. Everybody can't do that. It takes a certain sacrifice to be spiritually into all the time of God. I don't know if that's not you that might not be your call. But you should always have somebody around a man. That's what the login is trying to say that the plan of the enemy War. Everybody else. You do not supposed to do. Of the Bible warn about what they believed God was saying to them and then they would want it to the people and sometimes people listen to Reba so long. In other words, I'm going somewhere that you got to know what the issue is so you can figure out how to deal with fear because what they're trying to do is scare you a man what's going on? It's really like CIA intelligence agency if I can have you fake that I'm really the big bad wolf a small puppy. But if you think I'm a big bad wolf is going to change the way you look at me because you won't stay calm and stay a little puppy.

So what happened to this? It says we have to fix your fear because they thought that

and what do you think the game is getting ready to win? You say this ain't even worth the fight. You will say it's better for me just to go home and take fight it is to stand here in fights. Because that's what fare from moving forward to making steak and place to stay in the same place two for 25 years.

Okay, y'all be in deep dark. Listen, it's called phobia of something. Everybody has a certain fear of any it or something. It might be some small little scared of snakes.

Amanda Munoz watch this how to drop it the right time to keep you in that same place. lights and shut up

All my life shall I be? Okay stop right there. The Lord is my light and my salvation. He's the strength of my life.

You have to worry about who's in front of you by worrying about who's behind you.

Would you know who got your back? You don't lose sleep at night about worrying about what they thinking of what they saying? Cuz when you know, you know, you know what they've done for you. I know what he's done for me.

Because I never I never scared. I ain't never scared never and never stop.

Got to fix my fix my fear. Go to 1617. I can't I can't miss this one 5217 regarding Half Men are working but they got weapons. Barry seal and Bows the leader support the people but verse 17 is what I want to work. They're rebuilding the wall, even those who work with one hand and had a weapon another man liquor. Listen, my last point is follow your focus together.

I wish I could build a piece. I wish I just had my hand on my drill and my ladder for my music on and just work on. But it's not that simple because I got some people that want to do me some harm. I guess that's going to run down. I got some people that are trying to keep me for rebuilding the city. So the text says they had to adapt to the environment. Because now I just couldn't Bill also have to be ready to fight. Because I'm having both my hands to do something.

Anna packing just in case you get bigger than I got something in the car in case you wanted to go to jail cuz you got me walk, but you won't give me a building but I'm looking at you. You got what I need to know that God has already given. Yes, it's it for now.

Now watch this anybody wear glasses or contacts like passing Brown. There's one of my nose my eye exam. Go to the doctor and you sit there and you got to look at the letters.

I don't like You can really see what what I need for my eyes, but you make me go through the motions. I'm saying one or two.

I don't like

When is it okay to make turn? How about this one word or two? I don't like they looked at that time.

Let me let me let me see what Justin this thing 1 or 2. I don't get tired. Like what what what?

Watch this y'all learned that what they are doing because it's so drastically that it's something that you can't see what you say cuz they've been I don't know what are still tossed it to be able to see what I need to be able to see you until next time. You see that you are really a wolf in sheep's clothing.

because my focus dinner picture Focus I'm almost there.

I fix my V Spa you won't be able to meet another time. You'll be the one mad again. I'm learning.

Don't give me some spiritual call me to put on so I can see you a little bit better because they look but that gray looks lovely a man that boy look good on your brother because I can see it now because I needed to do I'm on my way to give me 3 minutes because Taylor is fight or flight. fight or flights fight or Play N. I really just came by today really the place to myself. I'll be honest. I can't talk to Pastor Brown.

Are you got to rush?

Tell me what you got to fight. over and it's been talking about in this season, but I'm tired of running.

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired of being sick and tired. That will make a decoration on today. But we didn't want to know more. We back down no more. We going to stand here and fight and I want to know where my fight is at that yet. Sweat. When was somebody trying to poke you on the playground is my first but you got to defend yourself. You got to finish this.

Tell me about fights. We got the fight because it's a war going on in This Means War.

Cuz I I got this.

Real fight that's coming in. a couple months And I'm so glad that God put me in some special training to get me ready for this fight because that break up that you had was training you for the fight that was coming the struggle. You were having your family was training for the fight. That was coming that one who walked away from you for the fight. That was that was coming and I just made up in my mind for what is rightfully mine.

I will take care of you no more running. I ain't turn my back on you.

It would I know my last point. When I fight you can't lose.

Because the fight is fixed. No way I can use.

shut up. I don't know what's going on. Okay, baby.

Got it all in control.

I didn't go pick up time. so this one if there's someone. You say you never make Jesus the head of your life. Never make a decision. Help me out.

Do you want to say

If there was no we don't want to move past this moment if there's someone who's sick among us, we still are crazy enough to believe that God is our healer.

I still believe that he still make a way that a no way. He's still fixing it regulated by. Ask me how I know cuz it could have for me. When I didn't want to keep on going. So I called you to something greater than this.
