Zechariah chapter 4 verse 6

then he said to me this is the word of the Lord to Zarepabell. Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of hosts.

Maybe my favorite verse in the book of Zachariah.

And certainly one of the more well-known verses so the setting is God speaking to

Zarebabelle who was the governor and alongside Joshua the high priest they were

leading out in the reconstruction of the temple, the rebuilding

of the temple as the place where the glory of God dwelled among his people as they are returning

from exile to Jerusalem and they faced challenge after

challenge after challenge after challenge setback after setback and discouragement along the way days when they think I don't

know if I can go on is this ever going to happen how are we going to do this and

God says, not by might, nor by power,

but by my spirit says the Lord of hosts.

In other words, not by your strength,

not by your might, not by power, not by your might,

power, not by the resources you bring to the table,

not by all of your abilities and talents and gifts combined.

Not by any of those things.

This project will come to completion by my spirit says the Lord of hosts. I will do it. I will

give you super natural power to see this come to pass and we've seen this over and over again

throughout different minor profits. Now those who trust and the power and the

strength and the resources, the gifts, the things of this world, they fall.
