Smile: Spirit Over Strength: Zechariah 4:6-7

 

1) I Have A Problem

Then the people who were already in the land discouraged the people of Judah and made them afraid to build. 5 They also bribed officials to act against them to frustrate their plans throughout the reign of King Cyrus of Persia and until the reign of King Darius of Persia.
Ezra 4:4-5 (CSB)

2) I Have The Holy Spirit

So he answered me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by strength or by might, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord of Armies.’”
Zechariah 4:6 (CSB)

a. The Spirit Flows
b. The Spirit Empowers
c. The Sprit Accomplishes

‘What are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain…’
Zechariah 4:7 (CSB)

d. The Spirit Illuminates

So he answered me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by strength or by might, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord of Armies. 7 ‘What are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain. And he will bring out the capstone accompanied by shouts of: Grace, grace to it!’”
Zechariah 4:6-7 (CSB)

3) When The Holy Spirit Meets My Problems It’s All Grace

“‘What are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain. And he will bring out the capstone accompanied by shouts of: Grace, grace to it!'”
Zechariah 4:7 (CSB)

Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
Mark 11:23 (CSB)

“…Become a great plain.”
Zechariah 4:7 (CSB)

“‘And he will bring out the capstone accompanied by shouts of: Grace, grace to it!’”
Zechariah 4:7 (CSB)

Therefore no mountain, however high, can stand before Zerubbabel! For it will flatten out before him! And Zerubbabel will finish building this Temple with mighty shouts of thanksgiving for God’s mercy, declaring that all was done by grace alone.”
Zechariah 4:7 (LB)
