In the Book of Zechariah, Chapter 4, verse 6, the Bible reads:” Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.”
Zechariah 4:6 KJV
When you have a relationship with the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, you know that you know that you know when things are accomplished and aligned for you by HIM. There is no such thing as coincidence when you put your trust and hope in GOD. Throughout the Bible as well as the lives of HIS children are example after example of victories coming against all odds. All Glory goes to GOD.
Our victories can be large or small. It makes no difference. There is no need large or small that HE is not interested in. The Bible says that the steps of a righteous man (or woman) are ordered ( directed) by the LORD. Righteousness comes to us by our faith in GOD not by our worthiness or well doing. It is a gift from HIM, WHO IS our RIGHTEOUSNESS. The Bible said that Abraham had faith and it was accounted to him as righteousness. Don’the get me wrong, we do take an active role. We must take action as directed by the SPIRIT of the LORD. It begins with knowing HIS WORD, by praying and asking for direction, by believing that HE hears and by following the prompting of THE HOLY SPIRIT. Then by acknowledging HIS role with heartfelt praise. It is about having a relationship with the LORD, WHO IS alive in your heart after you receive HIM as LORD .
Do we always get it right? No. But GOD, WHO IS rich in Mercy will give us opportunity to realign and learn to grow in our knowledge of HIM.
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or dismayed before the king of Assyria and all the horde that is with him, for there are more with us than with him. With him is an arm of flesh, but with us is the Lord our God, to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people took confidence from the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. 2 Chronicles 32:7-8 ESV
and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 ESV
Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand.
Psalms 20:6 ESV
for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm save them, but your right hand and your arm, and the light of your face, for you delighted in them. You are my King, O God; ordain salvation for Jacob! Through you we push down our foes; through your name we tread down those who rise up against us. For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me. But you have saved us from our foes and have put to shame those who hate us. In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah Psalms 44:3-8 ESV
GOD’S WORD IS unfailing. Meditate on the Scriptures above as you stand in Faith for the LORD’S leading, deliverance, guidance, salvation and whatever your need today. I know you will find your Hope in HIM.
Trust me my friend. HE reached down from the clouds to save me from a deadly accident that was about to happen. See my last post for youtube link to this testimony.
Great IS your Faithfulness oh LORD unto us that look to you. We praise you forever in JESUS NAME. AMEN
