Pastor Joshua’s Two Minute Blog:
Several years ago, in my neighborhood, there was a beautiful home that caught fire and burned throughout the night into the early morning hours. While fire crews had the situation well in hand by the next day it was evident the structure would be a total loss. Over the following months the house continued to decline as legal parties debated what would happen to the property and eventually the house was demolished. Two years later all that remains is an empty lot where a beautiful house once stood.
How often do things get torn down without any hope of ever being rebuilt? Daily you can find old buildings being restored, new subdivisions built and towering structures pressing up toward the sky; but what should you do when, in your life, something is torn down and you can’t see any way it will ever resurrect?
Set backs, failures and burn downs are hard to overcome but they are not impossible. In fact, nothing is impossible with God! Imagine Jesus speaking in front of accusers, skeptics and supporters when He shares the words of John 2:19. Most agree Jesus was speaking prophetically as to His identity and soon coming passion, but do genuine people of faith doubt that God could have also done the naturally impossible supernaturally?
When we experience the tearing down process the last thing on our mind, or in our will, is to imagine rebuilding. In fact, Scripture shares the responses of shock and disbelief at the very idea of rebuilding a structure that took centuries to build. But Jesus’ revelatory words, then, speak to our short sightedness and shortcomings today.
In a world of decay it is accepted that all things will fail at some point in time. But Jesus, and His Kingdom, is not of this world while He is very present in the world. Scripture affirms His Kingdom has no end, will endure throughout every generation and will even usher in a new age that will look, feel and behave nothing like the world we live in or comprehend.

What a promise we have in knowing our citizenship gives us residency in an everlasting Kingdom and under the loving care of a King who is always renewing and reviving. Therefore, while most of us may feel as if our plans and purposes have been torn down, by the fires of circumstance, don’t forget what is true of the King is also true of the King’s people.
If God meant to resurrect, for the glory and restoration of all things unto Himself, then part of His Kingdom culture is to also resurrect, restore and revive the Kingdom dream in your life. Don’t allow a negative and skeptical world to leave your “lot” empty without any hope of rebuilding. Rather, accept the remarkable promise that God means to restore you to place of honor so your life may glorify the King.
Perhaps some things, in your life, needed tearing down to make room for Jesus’ rebuilding project in you? Many of us have great structures waiting to be launched for the Kingdom so don’t allow a temporary loss to rob you of hope; and don’t allow and your lot to sit empty…it is meant for a new structure! Be a person of great faith and ask the Holy Spirit to breath on your emptiness, once again, and help you rebuild. It’s time to rebuild and revive with Jesus as your chief architect.
