Are you looking to have the kind of faith that can move a mountain? ~ Mark 9:23 “Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, It is so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.” - #MartinLuther.
1. He had the faith to wait (Neh. 2:1–3) ~ As every believer should, Nehemiah patiently waited on the Lord for directions; be “…imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” (Hebrews 6:12, ESV) ~ True faith in God brings a calmness to the heart that keeps us from rushing about and trying to do in our own strength what only God can do. So, as much as we need to weep and pray, we need to wait and pray.
2. He had the faith to ask (Neh. 2:4–8) ~ The king asked him, “What is it you want?” ~ Nehemiah prayed to the Lord (4:4; 5:9; 6:9, 14; 13:14, 22, 29, 31), then spoke!
3. He had the faith to challenge others (Neh. 2:11–18a)

Marshall Keeble seems almost like folklore. He was connected to the conversion and immersion of over 40,000 souls and part of the effort to begin 200+ local churches. Marshall preached a timeless message of redemption to souls who desperately needed liberation.
Of additional note in the picture is Fred Gray, who in 1974 helped destroy the senseless division of “white and black” churches in Tuskegee, Alabama. Oh, and yes, he was that Fred Gray who served as legal counsel for Rosa Parks and so many others.
for today, what are you doing set captive hearts free? ~PW 🌮🛶 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed,” (Luke 4:18, ESV)
