Not Power But Spirit

There is a common song sang in churches and it goes thus "it's not by power, it's not by might but by my spirit says the Lord, this mountain shall be removed..."

Zechariah 4:6 NLT "Then he said to me, “This is what the lord says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the lord of Heaven’s Armies."

The lyrics of that song is derived from the verse above. When you hear power you think of authority, capacity, strength and any word that qualifies enablement for an ordinary man. Power gives people the right to do things.  The word of God is saying otherwise that the power or might isn't or shouldn't be where your confidence lies but in the spirit.

Spirit to a lame man is something that can be seen. Think about it how can an unseen force be more qualified than a seen force? You can see power at work but spirit can't be seen yet God says it's by My Spirit that is the Holy Spirit who is in charge of the present state.

Many are times we plan things relying on our power yet it flops like an omelette in a frying pan. God is saying to us this morning to rely more and yield more to the leading of the spirit allow the spirit to enable your physical power. Allow the spirit to increase your wisdom, allow the spirit to take you from an ordinary level to an extraordinary level. Commune with Him let Him be your eyes and direct your thoughts.

I don't know what it is you have tried endlessly yet the effort is proving fruitless God is saying allow my spirit and let go of ordinary power so you can be endowed with supernatural presence through the Holy Spirit. As you do so the mountains will be removed, the valley will become levelled ground and you will shout for joy because your victory is certain in Jesus name amen.

Father enable me to allow more of your spirit so I can rule and reign as you want me to in the land of the living in Jesus name amen.
