🔥 What do you do when you KNOW God has called you to something—but opposition keeps coming?

Nehemiah was given an assignment from God: rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

But the moment he began moving forward, opposition came.

Mockery.
Threats.
Fear.
Lies.
Intimidation.
Distraction.
Deception.

But Nehemiah refused to quit.

He PRAYED.
He sought GOD first.
He walked in OBEDIENCE.
He asked God for FAVOR.
He used WISDOM and DISCERNMENT.
And he KEPT BUILDING.

When his enemies tried repeatedly to lure him away from his assignment, Nehemiah answered:

📖 “I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down.” — Nehemiah 6:3

What a message for us today!

DON’T COME DOWN FROM THE WALL.

Don't abandon what God has put in your heart because opposition showed up.

Don't let criticism stop you.

Don't let fear weaken your hands.

Don't let lies distract you.

Don't allow every invitation or opportunity to pull you away from your God-given assignment.

PRAY. PREPARE. OBEY. STAND. AND KEEP BUILDING.

In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we walk through Nehemiah 1–7:3 and discover how Nehemiah continually relied upon God through every stage of his assignment.

🔥 IN THIS EPISODE:

• Seeking God BEFORE taking action
• Asking God for favor
• Recognizing God's direction
• Why favor doesn't mean you won't face opposition
• Praying AND using practical wisdom
• Standing against fear and intimidation
• Recognizing distractions and deception
• Asking God for wisdom and discernment
• Refusing to come down from your assignment
• Keeping the Sword of the Spirit—God's Word—close
• Walking in obedience and integrity
• Finishing what God called you to do

After all the opposition, the wall was completed in 52 days.

And Scripture tells us that even their enemies recognized that the work had been accomplished with the help of God.

Maybe you're building something right now.

A ministry.
A business.
A family.
A marriage.
A relationship with God.
Your health.
A dream or calling God has placed in your heart.

Whatever your “wall” is:

KEEP BUILDING.

🙏 Ask God for wisdom.
🙏 Ask Him for discernment.
🙏 Ask Him for favor.
🙏 Listen for His direction.
🙏 And be obedient when He tells you what to do.

“I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down.” — Nehemiah 6:3
