God's character is never changing, and He forgives us and redeems us once and for all. Living in unconfessed sin weighs us down, takes away our joy, and neutralizes our effectiveness for Christ. Confessing and making restitution is a cleansing act, and when God's people came to God in confession and repentance, He heard their prayer and forgave them.

God's plan for revival involves assembling together with the body of believers, affirming the authority of the Word of God, adoring the God of grace, and abandoning oneself to God. This is seen in the story of Nehemiah, where the people of Jerusalem came together to hear the Word of God, repent of their sins, and experience the joy of the Lord.

Biblical principles are often compromised for the sake of gaining numbers, increasing budgets, or gaining popularity. However, this compromise can lead to destruction, as seen in the story of Nehemiah who faced three 'rattlesnakes' trying to corrupt and destroy him. The enemy will use various tactics, including enticement, manipulation, and intimidation, to make us compromise our convictions. But when we stand firm in our faith, we can overcome even the most difficult challenges and achieve great things through God's power.

When facing discouragement, learn from Nehemiah and his team who persevered in the face of overwhelming odds. Recognize that problems will always be present, but focus on the joy of heaven when you bring someone to the Lord or restore the fallen. Remember that the enemy attacks those who live closest to him, and that God wants to fill your spiritual tank with encouragement. To overcome discouragement, be a member of the family of God, and learn to block for your family, children, faith, and the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Rebuilding broken walls requires facing fear with prayer, opposition with courage, and timidity with vision. Like Nehemiah and William Carey, we must overcome our own doubts and fears to do great things for God, and trust in His power to overcome obstacles and critics.

Nehemiah's experience rebuilding the broken walls of Jerusalem serves as an example for how individuals can rebuild brokenness in their world. He first persevered in praising the name of God, then persisted in prayer, and finally prepared for God's plan. Through his story, Dr. Youssef emphasizes the importance of quiet obedience and behind-the-scenes service, highlighting that God honors those who are willing to step out in faith and serve His will.

The real price of freedom has been lost for many, masked by celebrations and festivities. The founding fathers of the United States made a sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus for his Church, and their vision for constitutional liberty stemmed from their understanding of their Christian faith. They believed that a free man and a free woman will be free to choose Christ, and that true liberty comes from biblical liberty in Christ.

Believing parents should have unshakeable faith in Jesus Christ on behalf of their family, never giving up or doubting God's promises. A crisis faith can move to continuous faith, confident faith, and confirmed faith, producing a contagious faith that honors God and brings heaven to earth.

The importance of praying and training the next generation is crucial for their spiritual growth and protection. Adults must model godly leadership, prioritize spiritual warfare, and cultivate intimacy with God to raise children who will thrive in a world filled with challenges and deception.
