Sermon Summary: Key Scriptures to read out loud- Nehemiah 4:13-23 and Ephesians6:10-18
1) Stand in the gap and intercede for those going through difficult situations rather
than accusing them. Run towards those hurting and stand with them. Be slow to
speak and quick to listen.
2) God is always bigger than the problems we face. Trust in Him and don’t let fear be
a roadblock to what God wants to accomplish.
3) Pray for your enemy. Ephesians 6 tells us to be equipped with God’s armor. Don’t
show hate to person but ask how God would have you pray for them.
