A Fortified Wall of Bronze

UV3570/10000. A Fortified Wall of Bronze Then I will make you to this people a fortified wall of bronze; They will not prevail over you; For I am with you to save you and deliver you, “ declares the Lord. Jeremiah 15 v 20 The Lord promises in this uni-verse to save us, to deliver us. He will not only be a wall of fire unto us and His glory will be revealed in our midst but He will make us fortified like a wall of bronze. He fills us with His strength, power and grace. He empowers us to take on forces much larger and more powerful. They might fight against us but they will not prevail. All this would happen when we endure reproach for Christ’s sake. We should also extract wisdom from our experiences so far. We should delight in the word of God and constantly meditate on it. We should not join the company of sinners and mockers and instead, sit alone and reflect, pray and trust the promise of the Lord. All this will happen as “I AM” is with us. He is the Great I Am- Jehovah Jireh, the One who provides for us in a time of drought, famine, flood, pandemic and disaster. He is Jehovah El Shaddai, the Almighty who manifests His power in our lives. He is Jehovah Rapha who heals and renews us. He is Jehovah Tsidkenu, the One who enables us on the path of righteousness. He is the One who made His Son Jesus the cause and source of our righteousness though none of us are righteous on our own merits. Like Hezekiah turned to the wall and prayed in his distress, even as he confronted imminent death, Jesus is the wall to whom we turn every day of our lives. He, then heals, strengthen and delivers us. Like the elements copper, tin, iron are combined to make the strong alloy bronze, the Lord strengthens us, weak and fallible as we naturally are, to be a supernatural fortress wall as we combine with His Spirit. Fortresses were built by kings to defend themselves against attacks by powerful enemies. Fortress walls are built of stones. The fact that the Lord builds with bronze shows that the level of attack and power of our enemy is massive. Only with His help can we overcome and be victorious. We need to avail of His grace constantly in order to prevail over our enemies.
