Pray and Stand and Hold

MELISSA GABLER—Sometime ago when the Lord said that we should pray so we can be prepared for the coming onslaught of evil, we did, and then His instruction came that we were to hold. What this instruction has shown me is “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’  says the Lord of Hosts.” (Zech. 4:6) This cannot be handled or fixed by our might or power. We are at the place where all of our self-help, strength, reasoning and logic have absolutely no power against this onslaught. What we are experiencing is what has been fueling the problems in lives and society and it has been hidden behind the scenes until now. This is a spiritual war and this is only the beginning. 


God Will Come Through

Scorners have come too late to tell Zerubbabel the temple won’t be finished. God has put the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand and has proclaimed: Not by might nor by power but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty. What are you, O mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground (Zech 4:6-7, NIV). “They” have come too late to tell men and women, who have trusted in the Lord God who calls and equips, that He will not come through for them.
