<p>When the Lord Guards the City <br /> By Francis Frangipane</p>
<p>"Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain" (Ps. 127:1).</p>
<p>Before we speak on this verse, it is important to explain a particular characteristic often found in the Hebrew Scriptures. Often, the Old Testament writers communicated truth by repeating two views of the same thought. We see this especially in the wisdom and prophetic books. An example would be: "With the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach will be satisfied; He will be satisfied with the product of his lips" (Prov. 18:20). The same concept is presented in two affirming ways. Another example is, "I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old" (Ps. 78:2). Truth is conveyed utilizing a poetic rhythm that is not only beautiful, but a way to unite two corresponding thoughts into one idiom.</p>
<p>In this regard, when the Psalmist admonishes, "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain" (Ps. 127:1), he is saying the same truth in two interrelated ways. Whatever it is that we are doing to secure and protect ourselves, unless we bring the Lord into the process, "we labor in vain."</p>
<p>Yet, the positive side of this is that, when the Lord builds the house, its foundation will be built firmly upon the rock of eternal truth; it will stand. And, when the Lord guards the city, He will supernaturally align Himself with our efforts, and the city He guards will be protected.</p>
<p>You see, the house of the Lord is a house of prayer: intercession brings the presence of God into the city; it releases laborers for the harvest (see Luke 10:2), and it brings reconciliation between enemies. In fact, the summary truth is this:<em> when the Lord builds the house, then the Lord will guard the city. </em>The specifications of His building plans require His people to be praying, loving and investing themselves into their cities. Empowered by the anointing of God, the living house of the Lord can transform communities!</p>
<p>Jesus confirms this in His promise, "I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18 KJV). He is stating that, when His house is built in obedience to His word, the strongholds of evil over individuals, neighborhoods and communities will be impacted and broken.</p>
<p>When revival explodes in a city, what happens to the powers of darkness in the heavenly places? Where do they go? The answer is: <em>they are displaced by the fullness of God's Spirit in the regional church! </em></p>
<p>Paul tells us that it is "by the church" that the manifold wisdom of God is revealed "unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places" (Eph. 3:10 KJV). And what is happening in the spirit realm? The church is blessed with "every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ" (Eph. 1:3)! The prevailing influence upon society is not lawlessness and evil, but the power of heaven. Beloved, let us rejoice in the promise that, in spite of increasing evil in the world, where the church is Christ-centered and obedient, there the Lord will guard that city!</p>
<p>However, when the church is not built according to Christ’s directives, but remains selfish and divided, the principalities and powers have access in a greater degree to the souls of men. In such cities, spiritual wickedness guards neighbors and communities.</p>
<p>One does not have to be very discerning to see this is true. On your next drive from the country into the city, see if you cannot discern a distinguishable cloud of oppression as you enter various regions of your community. That invisible barrier is the range of influence of the ruling spirits which manipulate the thought-life of the people. The demonic power of that area of influence is the "strong man, fully armed," who "guards his own homestead"; whose "possessions are undisturbed" (Luke 11:21).</p>
<p>But when the church is alive with obedience to Christ, it will be united with other believers and will be unstoppable by the powers of hell. The gates of hell cannot prevail against the church Christ builds, for through its prayer, love and action, the Lord will guard the city.</p>
<p><em>Lord, guide me to others in my city who have a heart to pray together. Help me to be a means to seeing Your house built in our community. Lord, I believe that when You build Your house then You will guard our city. Amen.</em><br /> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~</p>

In a season when external forces are causing disunity and division, Francis Frangipane calls us back to oneness with Christ, and through Him oneness with other Christians.

<p>Christ centered unity among Christians is the missing component for national revival. How can we make that statement? It comes from Jesus Himself, who prayed "that [we] may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me" (John 17:21). Again, Jesus said a house divided can't stand. We should have variety, but without division, living as people who love God and are known for their love for one another. Unity in the church is the door to revival in the world.</p>

<div><h3><strong>Here is something I’ve been thinking about lately –</strong></h3>
<p>Someone recommended I read <em><a href="https://substack.com/redirect/3f1ce1a6-f999-4946-9b46-c85bce75d03f?j=eyJ1IjoiNHdieXYifQ.GforGe9BzsEd8kT1AhYyRqTJHvYZWmz0wgFAGS-UYXI" target="_blank">Mirror to the Church: Resurrecting Faith after Genocide in Rwanda</a></em><a href="https://substack.com/redirect/3f1ce1a6-f999-4946-9b46-c85bce75d03f?j=eyJ1IjoiNHdieXYifQ.GforGe9BzsEd8kT1AhYyRqTJHvYZWmz0wgFAGS-UYXI" target="_blank"> </a>by Emmanuel Katongole. I did. And it has been haunting me.</p>
<p>“In a country that was over eighty-five percent Christian, almost everyone gathered on Easter Sunday [1994] to remember the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ” (18).</p>
<p>“But one week later… Christians in Rwanda took up machetes, looked fellow church members in the face, and hacked their bodies to pieces” (19).</p>
<p>How could this happen?!?!</p>
<p>We have to admit that often times “Christianity becomes little more than a thin veneer over what we imagine our natural identity to be” (53).</p>
<p>“Christianity made little difference in Rwanda. Christianity seemed little more than an add-on – an inconsequential relish that did not radically affect people’s so-called natural identities, nor the goals or purposes they pursued” (68).</p>
<p>“Christianity is meant to shape a new identity within us by creating a new sense of <em>we </em>– a new community that defies our usual categories of anthropology” (69).</p>
<p>“The deepest tragedy of the Rwandan genocide is that Christianity didn’t seem to make any difference. Rwandans performed a script that had shaped them more deeply than the biblical story had” (84).</p>
<p>“Paying attention to history helps us to see that this was not just Rwanda’s problem. The story that made Rwanda is the story of the West. When we look at Rwanda as a mirror to the church, it helps us realize what little consequence the biblical story has on the way Christians live their lives in the West” (85).</p>
<p>I’m praying that our churches are profoundly shaped by the gospel narrative and that this upcoming Easter is something more than a superficial tradition.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For the Sake of the Name,</p>

<p>The sons of Issachar are widely noted in church leadership circles for having the ability to read their circumstances and respond in wisdom: “Of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their kinsmen were at their command” (1 Chronicles 12:32). . . .</p>
<p> <br /> The church’s leadership team (paid staff and elder team) should play this role. Their agenda should always include studying and understanding critical scriptural guidelines, the times, the culture, trends, and the implications they bring. We minister in a vacuum when we do not understand what is taking place around us. . . .</p>

<p>I grew up a preacher’s kid in the rural outskirts of a small city. Every time we walked into a restaurant, my dad visited at least two tables to check-in on people we knew from church. Often, someone would pick up our check. The community honored him. Back then, people looked to clergy for care and accepted their moral exhortation. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gone are those days! . . . If you are a pastor these days, especially in more cosmopolitan areas, you feel this at a deep level. People expect you to preside over their weddings and funerals, but they take the hard stuff to their therapists. Add to that all the leadership scandals headlining the front page, and I can sympathize with the public’s suspicion. . . .</p>

<p><em>National Pastors' Prayer Network @ The Reimagine.Network</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>Paul urges us, first of all, to pray for all people. As we make our requests, we are to plead for God¹s mercy upon them and give thanks. We are to pray this way for Presidents and for all who have authority so that we can have quiet and peaceful lives. 1 Timothy 2:1-2</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>What Would It Be Like To Live In A Prayed For City?</p>
<ul>
<li>A town where every boy and girl are being prayed for by name.</li>
<li>A suburb where every household is assigned to someone for daily prayer.</li>
<li>A neighborhood whose streets have been prayerwalked.</li>
<li>A community where believers gather in homes to pray for their neighbors</li>
<li>A city of congregations who have caught the vision to pray for by name every man and woman, youth, and child...so that...they will be open to and interested in the good news of eternal life in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>What Would It Be Like To Live In A Prayed For City?</p>
<ul>
<li>Would mayors and city councils be favorable to new church plants?</li>
<li>Would gangs begin to lose members to the church?</li>
<li>Would families begin to eat meals together?</li>
<li>Would school classrooms become places of respect and learning?</li>
<li>Would neighbors begin to communicate and help one another?</li>
<li>Would congregations change the spiritual atmosphere by serving the community?</li>
<li>Would children and youth look to the Church for entertainment and enlightenment?</li>
<li>Would the police be known as those who serve and protect all people?</li>
<li>Would Christians pray over people they meet on the streets, in stores, at school?</li>
<li>Would spiritual awakening be the lead story on the evening news?</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>What Would It Take To Live In A Prayed For City?</p>
<ul>
<li>Pastors take the time to meet together with Jesus in a Pastors¹ Prayer Group</li>
<li>Hundreds of congregations commit to becoming Houses of Prayer</li>
<li>Prayer Coordinators in every church begin new prayer groups and ministries</li>
<li>Concerts of Prayer in every district bring several congregations together for prayer</li>
<li>Church Planters initiate many new and very different church startsIntercessors pray every day for new churches to begin and to be blessed</li>
<li>Church members in every church are mobilized into Lighthouses of prayer</li>
<li>Pastors declare prayer as the basis of ministry, not an added or specialized ministry</li>
<li>Christian business persons meet in office buildings to pray for co-workers</li>
<li>Church leadership promotes workshops & seminars designed to equip pray-ers</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>What Would It Take For YOU To Live In A Prayed For City?</p>
<ul>
<li>>Are you serious when you pray ³Thy Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven²-?</li>
<li>>Are you sure ³God is able to do above and beyond anything you dare to ask² -?</li>
<li>>Are you secretly content with the status quo of your life, your church, your impact?</li>
<li>>Are you resistant to the challenge because you know it is life-threatening?</li>
<li>>Are you even aware that you do not live in a prayed for city?</li>
<li>>Are you even curious, to experience even one day in a prayed for city?</li>
<li>>Are we, the alive-in-Christ, willing to die so the dead-in-their-sin may live?</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>How will we ever pray for these millions upon millions of lost people?</p>
<p>I¹ll pray for my neighbors. You pray for yours. House by house. Name by name.</p>
<p>I¹ll ask those I serve to pray for their neighbors. You ask those in your church or class, group or ministry to pray for their¹s...</p>
<p>People with faces who live next door, across the alley, upstairs and down the street.</p>
<p><em>Lord, we ask for the joy of living in a prayed for city, so those who do not even know they need you, begin to search for the One who is their way to truth and life; Jesus.</em></p>

<p>What makes a successful ministry? If a ministry operates for years and serves your community's needs, but the people it helps never join your church, is that a success? Barbara Lowery, a member of Belmont Baptist in Charlottesville, Virginia, says yes. Adam Macinnis <a href="https://christianitytoday.lt.emlnk1.com/Prod/link-tracker?redirectUrl=aHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ3d3cuY2hyaXN0aWFuaXR5dG9kYXkuY29tJTJGY3QlMkYyMDIyJTJGanVseS1hdWd1c3QlMkZsYXVuZHJvbWF0LWNodXJjaC1taW5pc3RyeS10aGlyZC1zcGFjZS5odG1sJTNGdXRtX3NvdXJjZSUzRENUK1Bhc3RvcnMrTmV3c2xldHRlciUyNnV0bV9tZWRpdW0lM0ROZXdzbGV0dGVyJTI2dXRtX3Rlcm0lM0QxMzIxNzMlMjZ1dG1fY29udGVudCUzRDEwMDk3JTI2dXRtX2NhbXBhaWduJTNEZW1haWw=&sig=5Yx1t1MZ1XsVUMHrnufa7LTvBVvjN2HCpC4zrr7x7WW8&iat=1658253745&a=%7C%7C26374210%7C%7C&account=christianitytoday.activehosted.com&email=ANUXR59ivCisjxTgFHMHXA%3D%3D&s=e2f0f99f89fed08175d6731b66cf640e&i=5917A10097A42A350604" target="_blank">spoke with Lowery </a>about her church's laundry ministry for Christianity Today, "None of these people became members of our church. That wasn’t what it was about. It was about helping people in need.”</p>
<p>Macinnis found this a common sentiment for many churches with laundry ministries, where a church either runs a laundromat or often gives out money at laundromats to homeless and lower-income individuals and families. These acts of service do not usually lead to people joining churches, but they are concrete ways to meet needs in the community and share God's love.</p>
<p>Jesus reminds us that whatever we do for the least of our neighbors, we have done for him. Pastor, how can your church creatively help your neighbors?</p>

<p>Some come with track marks from years of drug abuse. Others come with children in tow. Some are struggling through a bad week. Others, a bad decade. All bring their dirty laundry.</p>
<p>They wash it and dry it for free at church-run laundry services throughout the United States.</p>

<p>What makes a successful ministry? If a ministry operates for years and serves your community's needs, but the people it helps never join your church, is that a success? Barbara Lowery, a member of Belmont Baptist in Charlottesville, Virginia, says yes. Adam Macinnis <a href="https://christianitytoday.lt.emlnk1.com/Prod/link-tracker?redirectUrl=aHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ3d3cuY2hyaXN0aWFuaXR5dG9kYXkuY29tJTJGY3QlMkYyMDIyJTJGanVseS1hdWd1c3QlMkZsYXVuZHJvbWF0LWNodXJjaC1taW5pc3RyeS10aGlyZC1zcGFjZS5odG1sJTNGdXRtX3NvdXJjZSUzRENUK1Bhc3RvcnMrTmV3c2xldHRlciUyNnV0bV9tZWRpdW0lM0ROZXdzbGV0dGVyJTI2dXRtX3Rlcm0lM0QxMzIxNzMlMjZ1dG1fY29udGVudCUzRDEwMDk3JTI2dXRtX2NhbXBhaWduJTNEZW1haWw=&sig=5Yx1t1MZ1XsVUMHrnufa7LTvBVvjN2HCpC4zrr7x7WW8&iat=1658253745&a=%7C%7C26374210%7C%7C&account=christianitytoday.activehosted.com&email=ANUXR59ivCisjxTgFHMHXA%3D%3D&s=e2f0f99f89fed08175d6731b66cf640e&i=5917A10097A42A350604" target="_blank">spoke with Lowery </a>about her church's laundry ministry for Christianity Today, "None of these people became members of our church. That wasn’t what it was about. It was about helping people in need.”</p>
<p>Macinnis found this a common sentiment for many churches with laundry ministries, where a church either runs a laundromat or often gives out money at laundromats to homeless and lower-income individuals and families. These acts of service do not usually lead to people joining churches, but they are concrete ways to meet needs in the community and share God's love.</p>
<p>Jesus reminds us that whatever we do for the least of our neighbors, we have done for him. Pastor, how can your church creatively help your neighbors?</p>

What can your church do to create space for pastors to keep growing and developing?<br /></strong></div>
