Nehemiah 13:14-21 (below) was a word God gave me last night on the Detroit radio station.

As I was studying this book, the Spirit of God spoke to me concerning the reestablishing of the foundation of holiness and patterns of righteousness back into His house.

Nehemiah was astonished at the activities that he saw occurring on the Sabbath. How they were buying selling and doing the things they were not suppose to be doing at that time.

Nehemiah got upset and went to the Nobles of Judah (their chief men and rulers) to inquired of them “What Evil Thing” they were doing.

It’s the same way today. God is sending men and women into the churches and they are inquiring about what evil thing are the leaders allowing to go on in this hour.

He reminds them that those who had gone before them, had already done evil. But they themselves were doing worst, as they were profaning the Sabbath.

In this hour, we are doing worse by allowing the enemy to cause us to do things which are not pleasing to God.

We have brought a polluted worship before the LORD and have established a place of greed.

We entertain and we do works of the flesh, when we gather together corporately.

Nehemiah had set people to watch, to make sure that they didn’t do anything that was outside of the will of God, as the Father had established that they remain holy and their actions righteous, according to the standards He set. But they rebelled and disobeyed and attempted to go beyond what Nehemiah had said.

The anger of Nehemiah was so strong because of their disobedience and disregard for what he had spoken, that in verse 21, he asked them why were they there. He then threatened them that if he caught them there outside the gate, trying to sneak and do what was wrong, he would lay hands on them and punish them for refusing to obey the direct orders that they were given.

In this hour, instead of leaders correcting situations, they are allowing the people to continue to do what is against the will of God.

It’s time to rebuild the spiritual laws of holiness back in the Body of Christ and bring the people back to a place of righteousness.

Like Nehemiah, when we see the things that we have built according to the will of God being tore down, we must rise up take a stand and declare that we will not allow anyone to profane the name of God, nor the house we have built for worship!
