Zech.
4:6, "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."
As
the Body of Christ, we must move forward in the unabated anointing of
the Holy Spirit. The knowledge and wisdom of man will not be
sufficient for the conflict just ahead. The Holy Spirit is our
indispensable confidant as we move toward the culmination of God’s
plan.
Unabated means “continuing at full strength or force without
becoming weaker. Being at full strength or force.” We will require
the full authority, presence, and perspective of the Holy Spirit every
moment of this journey. We dare not proceed without being fully
immersed in His person and baptized in the power of His presence. His
guidance is essential! The choices and decisions ahead will be
difficult. Not difficult to make but difficult in the sense of their
consequences. A step forward without the absolute wisdom and guidance
of the Holy Spirit could put us on a path of irreparable error. At
the very least choices made without the full assurance of the Holy
Spirit will cause unnecessary sorrow and suffering. The road back is
always burdensome.
The
storms of darkness are raging against the Light of Truth set upon the
hill. Matt. 5:14, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is
set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and
put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto
all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is
in heaven.” Jesus was talking to His Church and informing them that
they would carry His Light for all to see. No matter how severe the
storms may be, they must submit to the Command of the Light. Jesus is
the Light in us. The storms will respond to only ONE voice, the
Master’s voice. When the storms of life are raging, He will stand
by me. At the mere utterance of His command, the winds cease and there
is peace.
Psalm
31:19, “Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast
laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for
them that trust in thee before the sons of men! 20
Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the
pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the
strife of tongues.”
