WE NEED BUILDERS IN RUBBLE SEASONS
REPOSTED WORD FROM 2025
I hear the Lord saying:
“Where are My builders whom I can send into the rubble and ruin of this hour?
Who are my specialists who see the way I see?
The ones who ache to see righteousness restored to nations and cities.
The ones who long to see families restored.
The ones who grieve the poison that has slowly leaked into the Church and permeated culture with the spirit of this age.
Who are those who would counteract this decay by building what is pure? Building from My heart? Building from the secret place?
Who are those who not only know how to turn tables, but also know how to set new tables?
Who are those who know how to gather the broken and set a feast in this hour?
For I want to establish a new house, a new place where I can dwell. Places where My glory can come.
For out of this rubble and ruin shall come not just a mighty move of My Spirit that will revive My people and draw the lost to Me, but out of it will arise a pure Bride who knows Me, a Bride grafted into the Vine, a Bride carrying oil.
Where are My builders who build after My own heart, not after their own ambition? Those who will not seek their own fame, stages, or their name in lights?
Who are the builders who will simply come, roll up their sleeves, and get their hands dirty in this hour?
Where are My builders who burn like Nehemiah, with zeal and even grief over what has been broken down? Builders birthed in holiness, and in the fear of the Lord?
Builders who will not come under a critical spirit or fall prey to the allure of the accuser to point fingers, but who will simply go about their Father’s business, building up the broken roads, reestablishing cities and desolate places as places of My glory?
For builders establish where others only know how to tear down and deconstruct.
Builders establish what is pure to counteract the building of the counterfeit that has led My people into error and compromise.
And in doing so, giving the Church a standard on the horizon to look at and know what they are meant to look like.
Because it’s easy in times of shaking for the Church to be so lost in what's breaking down that they actually lose their future and hope.
And when you lose your future and your hope, you begin to lose sight of My heart for you.
So as my builders arise, it reveals the paths that are being carved for many to walk in, and breaks the heaviness and hope deferred that has settled on so many in the changing of seasons.”
I believe this season, as builders and pioneers, is going to look vastly differently to anything we have seen before.
The call isn’t to build empires but to build people.
And build a footstool for King Jesus.
The wrestle or challenge as builders will be that the first steps will look like seemingly insignificant things that don’t make sense.
We could easily despise the days of small beginnings right now and keep doing the same old thing, but that’s a trap.
But as we begin to just step out onto the waters every day, we’ll begin to establish what few are willing to establish.
It's the call of David to restore the ark to its rightful place.
The only way you can do it is by shutting out the fear of man and stepping into the fear of the Lord.
It's for those with a heart after God's own heart, an undignified bunch with an unapologetic zeal going about the Father's business.
It's the heart of Nehemiah knowing that regardless of what the response was going to be from his king or the people around him, he needed to go and restore and establish.
And right now, while much of the Church looks like an angry mob, the cure is that we need to turn the mob into builders.
We need to turn the disillusioned, the hardened, and the bitter into the establishers of the new that they were called to be.
We need to take their pitchforks and put trowels and hammers in their hands.
It’s time to create pure communities, round tables, and places with no flies in the ointment.
This is the call, to build what you see…
But will you build it? Will you be faithful when it doesn’t make sense?
Will you second guess yourself or will you lay “you” down and focus?
For I hear the Lord saying over those who keep forfeiting their calling and deferring it - “This time it’s GO time! Don’t wait another moment and watch others doing what I have called you to do!”
Step out builders and build up the road!!
“They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated, they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.” - Isaiah 61:4
