Jerry begins with a heartfelt prayer, acknowledging God's immense love demonstrated through Jesus Christ's sacrifice. The message emphasizes resting in God's love and His desire to communicate with His people, encouraging, building, and disciplining them through His powerful Word. Jerry highlights the importance of considering one's ways, especially in the context of rebuilding God's house, referencing the biblical accounts from Ezra and Haggai. The remnant, a small but devoted group, responded with a sincere heart to return and rebuild the temple, but over time, opposition, discouragement, and worldly cares caused them to become passive and indifferent. God’s repeated call to "consider your ways" was a cry from His heart, urging His people to examine their priorities, purpose, and use of time. The enemy subtly planted thoughts that it was not the right time to build, leading to a prolonged period of spiritual lethargy. Jerry stresses that time is a divine gift meant to serve God's purpose, not our own, and warns against spiritual passivity and mental strongholds that hinder progress. The solution is to go up to the mountain—seek fellowship, prayer, and communion with God—to rekindle passion and obedience. Ultimately, God's promise to bless those who respond is a reminder of His faithfulness and the glorious future of His house, which surpasses all past glory. The message concludes with a call to actively engage in God's work, recognizing that time is precious and meant for His divine purpose.
