2-15-08 Nehemiah 6:16 Your Enemies Are Afraid of Your God
Nehemiah 6:16 (NAS)
And it came about when all our enemies heard of it, and all the nations surrounding us saw it, they lost their confidence; for they recognized that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.
Nehemiah 6:16 (NLT)
When our enemies and the surrounding nations heard about it, they were frightened and humiliated. They realized that this work had been done with the help of our God.

When you think of your enemies, often you are tempted to fear. However, your foes, who show hostility to you, are well aware of the power of the Lord God that works in your life. They listen attentively to all of the reports that come from your mouth and they hear what others are saying about Adonai.
Unbelievers pay attention to you, observing you in every circumstance. Whether you are aware of it or not, the Lord your God puts you on exhibition. When you pass by, they will even turn their heads to watch your every move.
As they listen and observe, they realize that you can easily overthrow them. They know that if they encounter you, when you are strengthened by your God, that they will be cast down. Exceeding force and power is at your disposal and will cause their great fall. As you stand and watch, you see them defeated through their own vision. What they perceive and see will cause them to tremble and quiver.
Those ,of whom you were afraid, are now in fear of you. They know of all the work that Almighty God has done. They admit that what He does is greater than what they can do. They also recognize that since you are His ambassador and messenger, that you have been entrusted with the same power and authority that He possesses. They acknowledge that what you do in His name will have the same effect as God Himself doing it.
Therefore, do not let fear overcome you. In Yeshua, your Messiah, you are more than a conqueror.
