By My Spirit Saith The Lord!

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.”
