The Call to Build as Repairers of the Breach 
June 25, 2015 
Breach repairersl 2 
The Holy Spirit grieves over the present state of the 
Church. Especially for the wounded, the oppressed and the 
fallen. Many Churches once in revival have closed their 
doors. Believing the power of the Church has regressed; 
many are expressing their hunger for the things of God. 
Due to a lack of freedom, Christians disengage from 
operating in their gifts that empowers them to fulfill 
their ordained purpose. It is reported that millions of 
Christians across this nation no longer attend church. 
Without the Spirit of the Lord released in our midst, the 
anointing and gifts of the Spirit are quenched. This 
grieves the Holy Spirit (Eph.4:30). The Holy Spirits 
desire is that we follow His leading and release the 
anointing. When the word “quench” is used in scripture, 
it means to suppress the fire! The Holy Spirit is a fire 
dwelling in each believer, which is the light of God’s 
living presence. His desire is to express Himself in our 
actions and attitudes as well as through the anointing 
for the work of ministry. Anything less suppresses or 
“quenches” the Spirit. This is why the apostle Paul gave 
the command, “Quench not the Spirit” (1 Th. 5:19). 
A fresh baptism of fire is here to set the captives free 
where the religious spirit and other spirits have kept 
the people locked up. A remnant is being pulled into 
another direction and dimension. Being free from selfish 
ambition and the need for control, they have learned from 
their mistakes that have left them with an addiction for 
His presence. Having laid down their lives for the 
gospel, they have captured the eye of the King. Being 
free from the accuser of the brethren, their heart is to 
see restoration, redemption and renewal take place in the 
body of Christ. These are the ones God calls “REPAIRERS 
OF THE BREACH,” 
   “And they shall build the old waste places: and shall 
raise up the foundations of many generations, and you 
shall be called “The repairers of the breach, the 
restorers of the paths to dwell in (Is. 58:12-13, 1 Cor. 
5:12). 

The Building / Equipping Model of Jesus 
Jesus did not come to destroy but to restore and redeem. 
He called His 12 disciples to BE WITH HIM. Building upon 
their relationship Jesus discipled them in the ways of 
the Kingdom and empowered them to do the works that He 
did (Acts 1:1). Before His ascension, Jesus gave them the 
commission to go in the power of the Spirit teaching ALL 
NATIONS to do the same (Mt. 28:19-20). We too are 
commissioned to go and do the works that reveals the 
redemption power of Jesus. 
With the promise that we would do greater works, Jesus 
ceiling is to be the floor of the next generation that 
would keep a move of the Spirit moving. Jesus did not 
give the command, “Come ye to Church” but “Go ye” in the 
power of the Spirit. His passion was not to build up a 
congregation, or to build up an organization, but His 
bride- the people of God. A breach being restored today 
is the gap between those who follow a format to that of 
abiding in their Shepherded, Jesus. A people that 
creatively reveal Christ and His Kingdom “on earth” as in 
heaven. 

Time To Rise Up and Build 
We are now in the season where it is the time to build 
(Ec. 3:3). Nehemiah is a prototype of a New Testament 
apostle who, as a wise master builder, repaired the burnt 
gates and fallen walls of Jerusalem. When He said to the 
remnant in Jerusalem, “You see the distress we are in and 
how Jerusalem lies in waste and the gates are burnt with 
fire. Come and let us build up the walls of Jerusalem…and 
they said, “Let us rise up and build” (Neh. 2:17 -18). 
Nehemiah didn’t have to convince the people to rise up 
and build. The oppression of the people and the condition 
of their beloved city weighed heavily on their soul. It 
was thus in their heart to redeem what the enemy had 
destroyed and raise the city up to its former glory. This 
too is the heart of God and the heartbeat that propels 
His people to move forward as agents of change. They are 
ready to echo back the response with one voice 
proclaiming, “Let us rise up and build.” 
Many today have it in their heart to build – to build up 
the people of God in love. As repairers of the breach, 
just hearing the word “build” attracts builders. Many are 
waiting to fulfill their ordained purpose. If we build 
according to the blueprints of heaven, they will come! 
Because God is a relational God, we are to build 
relationships. The most powerful ministries and the 
abundant Christian life arise from strong relationships. 
Building begins with unlocking the Kingdom of Heaven 
within God’s people. Building takes place as Mothers and 
Fathers of the faith raise up sons and daughters. To 
build is to form relationships where trust, communication 
and understating are established through bonds of love. 
To build is to restore the true identity of His people 
and equip them to function as each one is called in 
Christ. The Church consists of the people of God–a holy 
temple in the Lord that reveals the light of His glory. 
    In whom all the building is fitly framed together 
grows up to become a holy temple in the Lord. In whom you 
also are being built together for a habitation of God 
through the Spirit (Eph. 2:21-22). 

A People of Influence 
As restorers of the breach, those entrusted with the Word 
of Reconciliation        (1 Cor. 5:19) are given the 
authority of Jeremiah …”To root out, and to pull down and 
to destroy, and to throw down and to build and to plant 
(Jer. 1:11). Those with the Father’s Heart abiding in His 
love obedient to fulfill His purpose, are being given the 
kind of influence that can change a region for God’s love 
never fails! 
A company of champions are emerging that will stand and 
speak with authority as Elijah did. Graced with the 
Elijah anointing, their passion is to see healing and 
restoration take place in the body of Christ. As noted in 
Malachi 4:6, “And He shall turn the heart of the fathers 
to the children and the heart of the children to their 
fathers.” This is a multi -generational anointing that 
restores the members of the household of faith to become 
a healthy unified family. Love is the key to change. 

Changing Times Requires Change 
In these times of change we need a multifaceted style of 
leading. The old will no longer work. We cannot walk in 
the new doing the same things the old way. As the people 
grow in Christ, so will the way we lead, especially if we 
want to see their development. If we desire to grow in 
Christ we cannot bottleneck the Church or confined the 
leadership. We must establish all the ministry gifts of 
Christ the Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and 
Teacher in order build a fully alive and dynamic 
apostolic /prophetic church – the way Church life is 
meant to be. 
The purpose of the five fold is to reveal Christ to His 
people in the way He has gifted and called each one. 
Within this multifaceted ministry, lies the ability to 
recognize the gifting of others. In turn they provide the 
means to establish believers in their true identity as a 
new creation, and equip them for the work of ministry. 
(Eph. 4:11) For instance, a Prophet is to equip others to 
function in their prophetic gift. Likewise, those called 
as a Shepherd recognize Christ the shepherd in God’s 
people and build them up to minister the Shepherd’s 
heart’s to others. In this way, a Church can be prepared 
for the coming harvest when all are needed. 
The apostle Paul built as a wise masterbuilder to see 
Christ formed in His people “For it is Christ in you the 
hope of Glory” (Col. 1:27). It’s time to rebuild that 
which the enemy has torn down as repairers of the breach 
for “We are laborers together with God” (1 Cor. 3:9-10). 
As the people are built up in Christ, they will be the 
vehicle that brings healing and restoration to one 
another. This will cause the Church, the members of His 
body to increase itself with the life of the Spirit. 
From whom the body is fitly joined together establishes a 
pathway to supply the needs according to the effectual 
working of the measure of every part, makes the body of 
Christ to increase unto the edifying of itself in love 
(Eph. 4:16). 
In order to build properly, we need to transition from a 
Church mindset to that of a Kingdom mindset. With a 
change of perspective comes a change in the way we build. 
It’s time to build up the Church, which consists of a 
spiritual body- the people of God. Together as one, as we 
each do our part, Jesus will bring together in Him a 
living and dynamic people that rise and shine with the 
light of His glory. The harvest is here and it consists 
of unemployed builders! Lets gather those who respond to 
the call to rise up and build as “Restorers of the 
breach, the restorers of paths to dwell in” (Is. 58:12- 
13). And “As One,” restore the inheritance that is ours 
in Christ that the adversary has stolen. Perhaps you have 
heard the call? As always, “Rise and Shine for your light has come” (Is. 60:1) 
In His heart and love –
