January 26: We EQUIP them FOR SPIRITUAL WARFARE
Lost and broken people are ultimately enslaved to Satan (Romans 6:16-19). As long as people remain “stranded” there’s little opposition, but the moment the person moves toward change, the enemy attacks! Broken people need to learn how to combat their “feelings,” “criticisms,” and “opposition.”

February 2: We ENABLE them to RESTORE RELATIONSHIPS (5)
Often broken people have broken relationships. In chapter five certain wealthy Jewish are oppressing, excluding and enslaving their neighbors. As with Nehemiah, we must help the broken to know learn how to restore relationships. This is part of the living out their new life.

February 9: We TEACH them to LEARN GOD’S WORD (8, 9)
God’s word is the pattern and liberator of the broken and the lost. Jesus said that the truth will set us free. Understanding God’s patterns, attitudes and behavior is a key to new life. Ezra and Nehemiah help them to understand God’s word and to know the word’s applications.
