Conspire – ‘to act in harmony toward a common end’
The Bible documents a conspiracy against Nehemiah to halt the rebuilding of the walls Jerusalem.
Now it happened when Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall, and that there were no breaks left in it (though at that time I had not hung the doors in the gates), that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come, let us meet together among the villages in the plain on Ono.” But they thought to do me harm. Neh 6: 1-2
Are you aware of the conspiracy against you to halt your spiritual growth? (For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Eph 6:12)
Jesus said the gate is narrow and the way is difficult that leads to life – and then Paul offers insight into the ‘way’ when he prays for the Church in 2Thessalonians 3… And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
Wise as serpents, harmless as doves. It’s all there… read it for yourself.
