A short lesson from 1 Samuel 4 and 7 written by C. H. Mackintosh.

The moment a man takes his right place, God can meet him in perfect grace — free, sovereign, unqualified grace: the fullness of God waits on an empty vessel.

In this Address #3b of 4 meetings, John Brereton explains the spiritual truth that all believers in Christ are united into one body, the body of Christ, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit—a work that began at Pentecost. 1 Corinthians 12 shows that while believers may come from diverse backgrounds (Jews, Gentiles, bond, or free), they are baptized by the Spirit into one body, forming a living connection not only with each other but also with Christ, the Head in heaven. This unity is symbolized and expressed practically through the partaking of the one loaf at the Lord’s Table, representing the one body.

John emphasizes that while human failures and divisions exist outwardly, the spiritual reality of the one body remains intact, and believers are encouraged to endeavor to maintain the unity of the Spirit in love and peace.

Nehemiah chapter 7 highlights the importance of careful organization and leadership. After rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, Nehemiah ensures the city's protection by appointing gatekeepers, singers, and Levites.

He also organizes a genealogical record of the people to ensure each family is recognized, emphasizing the value of identity and stewardship in God’s plan. It’s a chapter that reminds us how God cares not just for structures but for the hearts and lives within them.

Recorded in Dec. 2023, this portion continues to ring forward in all ages as the enemy enemy of our souls comes at us with the same handful of tactics-- and many still don't understand or see how the enemy operates.

The “wiles of the devil” is laid out here clearly.

Compare this chapter 6 of Nehemiah to Ephesians 6! Picture of warfare and the instruction of warfare-- spiritual warfare!
