RECON &REPENTANCE
Examine reins: ḇâḥan; a primitive root; to test (especially metals); generally and figuratively, to investigate: — examine, prove, tempt, try (trial).Jeremiah 11:20 But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.; Psalms 26:2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.:
NEHEMIAH Tobiah the ammonite Sanballat the Horonite—broken wall Prov 25:28, city of peace—
Nehemiah 13:1-9 The reading of the Law revealed that an Ammonite was not to be allowed in the sanctuary. Tobiah and Sanballat through trickery and deception, yoked themselves to Jewish women; this allowed Tobiah to gain access to the rooms within the temple. Once Nehemiah found out what was going on, he cleansed the rooms and restored them back to order

The wall- the room- go back to the wall— Jessica-Pamela-Pat-Bill-does that bother you if I stop there and don’t mention your name? Let me plain why I’m doing this- conflict will not only comes from outside in an attempt to get us off the wall- you can expect evil to come inside:jealousy, envy, disunity. Let me use myself as an illustration, since God showed me this would happen ex spark plug changer—He showed me, through me, this would happen, now, is the time to reveal what happened to me.
This is repentance. When a person realizes that rooms in their temple have been opened up to ungodliness and that Satan has been given a room Ephesians 4:27 room, quarter, occupancy— just as Satan gained unauthorized access into the earthly realm when Adam gave permission by yielding to sin through disobedience, Eliashib gave unauthorized access to Tobiah into the room of the temple, gained through subtilty, trickery and methods by yoking through marriage and gained access to restricted areas; we also can give access to evil by giving place, allowing occupancy to evil through permission by sin.
And the longer we let it stay, the more comfortable we get with it’s presence. The less we feel conviction. It starts to become part of who we are. In the beginning, I may have felt conviction about cheating on my taxes, gossiping about my brother
