The Scripture makes it very clear that as we focus on purity we experience power from above. Paul stressed this in his final letter to his understudy Timothy. “Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter [i.e., “iniquity”], he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work” (2Ti 2:21). How? The process is simple: God the Father works through the Son. The Son works through the Holy Spirit. The Spirit works through the Word. The Word works through the believer. The believer works through living faith.

Nehemiah #18
From Series: "Nehemiah"
Nehemiah began to pray for God's people and land long before he traveled there. He began a great revival in Jerusalem in the face of great opposition from enemies without and within. Though 2500 years old the story of Nehemiah is applicable to us today.
