Scripture says the church is the body of Christ. #2  There is a time to pray then there is a time to move.   #3 Nehemiah had a plan.   Read Nehemiah 2: 7–8   Nehemiah was dependent upon God, and he continued to pray.   It is important to understand how the spiritual and the practical work together.   When the time for intercession has passed, The time for intervention has come.   Read Nehemiah 2: 11   The Hebrew word for view means to closely examine.   #4 When we are doing the will of God we will face opposition. Nehemiah 2: 19   Whenever you are pursuing a divine opportunity there will be opposition. 1 Corinthians 16: 9   Nehemiah 2: 19   Our primary enemies are the world, the flesh, and the devil.   The world is the external enemy.

One of the great tools to memorization is repetition. If we hear something over and over, we can’t help but remember. We didn’t intend to memorize the words to that TV theme, or that corny commercial, but they’re stuck in our heads. Why? Repetition. The real question is, what do we let our minds hear over and over. But the fact you’re listening now is a great step forward. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings some scriptural truth worth remembering.

The Desert Song | Choosing Lasting Joy

You may see a dozen cartons of milk on the shelf . . . but a careful look shows that the expiration dates on some cartons are much further into the future.
