"This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: '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. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of "God bless it! God bless it!'" (Zech. 4:6,7).
Zerubbabel started a huge project to lead the first group of Jewish exiles from Babylon back to Jerusalem, and to rebuild the demolished temple that was there. With great zeal he began the project but soon, two problems arose. A few old men negated the project and discouraged the people. Then the enemies infiltrated Jerusalem by using political pressure, fear, and intimidation to stop the building of the project.
Zerubbabel, like many of us knew how to start off well, but found it hard to keep going when the going got tough. His discouragement led to despair so God sent two prophets to remind and encourage him: "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you." Zechariah 4:9. God also told him how the temple would be completed: "Not by man's might not by man's power but by the Spirit of the Lord Almighty."
When you face a mountain of hindrances that threatens your plan, hope and purpose - pray and activate the supernatural power of God to override your limitations, frustrations, and challenges with His might and supernatural power. David's King of Glory, EL CHAYIL, is mighty to save, deliver, and give you the victory.
