Repairing the Gates

In the Shemittah year, God's people were instructed to neither sow or harvest their fields for that entire year. Instead, they were to eat from the abundance of the previous year's harvest. That's what we have been doing in our gatherings this year. We have been going back and bringing forth the words and revelations the Lord has given us in previous years, as our way of partaking of the harvests that will sustain us and elevate us in this season.

Well, it seems we've hit our stride in the current review of email/blogs/lessons from our harvest archives. These messages and prayers were so prophetic that they have absolute application to this hour in America. So, here's another message from our harvest of 2012: 


Repairing the Gates

The Spirit of God led us to pray from the backdrop of the historical account of a massive restoration project in Jerusalem. Under the leadership of Nehemiah, the Jews took on the daunting task of rebuilding and repairing the walls and gates that surrounded this great city.

Since we were sent to Harrisburg to rebuild, restore and renew hearts and homes, we believe that we have a similar assignment. However, we believe that it’s our hearts and homes that need the walls and gates repaired. During this season of fasting and prayer, this is where we are concentrating our efforts.

Proverbs 4:23 (Amplified) declares: Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs (issues) of life.

Whatever is in your heart depends upon what has been allowed to come in through your gates over the years of your life. Whatever flows out of your heart, (your view of life) depends on how your heart has been guarded.

There were ten gates that were embedded at strategic points along the walls of Jerusalem and each gate had a very specific purpose. Each gate holds a profound prophetic meaning for our families. Therefore, (over the next few weeks) we are taking the time to look at each gate, understand its purpose, and then pray about how each gate is supposed to guard our hearts and homes.
