HAS EVERYONE GIVEN UP ON YOU? GOD HAS NOT GIVEN UP!

Faith comes by hearing!  How did Noah know what his life work was going to be?  He knew so because he had heard God.   Have  you ever been out of luck, out of options, and out of time?  What do you do when   you are trapped in a set of circumstances that leave you very few options on any side?  There are some people that if they cannot do things in the natural to fix their problem, they are at a complete loss as what direction to take, or where to make their first move.  That may work if you have plenty of money, plenty of time, and lots of options and favors.  Moses didn't have ANY of those things.  When the natural is certain to fail, the only option is the supernatural.  Should we even turn to the natural at all.  If we have a way out of our difficult circumstances, or a way to move forward in the natural and we don't take it, we need a crash course in wisdom for sure. 

God's church is not something that is of the world, or that is natural.  God's church is supernatural.  Why is it supernatural?  It is supernatural because every time someone is born again, God just did a miracle.  A regeneration, a new birth.  We are living in a time when the people of God have tried to take a supernatural thing, which is God's church, and tried to make it grow using natural means.    You can add a new member to the church roll without anything supernatural ever taken place, but you cannot add another name to the roll in heaven without a supernatural move of God's Holy Spirit.    People are trying to direct their lives and direct their ministries today without ever having heard from God.  We have unlimited access to all the supernatural and divine power in the universe, and we would chose to work merely by natural means. 


Zechariah 4: 6-10 

6Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the LORD of hosts.

7Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain: and he shall bring forth its headstone with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.

8Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

9The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me unto you.

10For who has despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plumbline in the hand of Zerubbabel; these seven are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

 

These verses of Scripture are your hope and your deliverance, because the same God that helped Zerubbabel will help you.  Zerubbabel was building the temple of the LORD.  You are also building the temple of the LORD, that temple is you!  As the scriptures declare:  Know you not you are the temple.   There are five things here that God promises you, be sure you HEAR what God is saying. 

 

(1)  Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the LORD of host. God will give you supernatural help.   You are not going to rely on purely natural means to build your temple.  Don't think you are alone, and on your own.  God is going to build you up by His Spirit.  It doesn't matter how broken down you are, no matter what the condition, when God gets ready to build the house, God is more than able to do  by the supernatural, what man says is 'impossible' in the natural.  Has everyone given up on you?  Maybe in the natural  you have always been lacking and falling short, or just a handful of trouble.  It's time to turn it over to God and allow him to do the supernatural in your life.

 

(2)  Every mountain and obstacle in front of you is going to disappear when God begins moving on your behalf.  Has the devil always found a way to throw a wrench in  your successes.  Have you been a victim of circumstances, and obstacles way out of your control?  God is going to level every obstacle out and clear out a path for you to rise up.

 

(3)  And he shall bring forth its headstone with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.God is going to give you the grace to endure every test.  When trials and opposition and temptations come your way.  God is going to give you the grace you need to make it through it.

 

(4)  The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it;  You have allowed God to start and good work in you, and God is going to finish it.  Whatever  you have committed to God won't be left half undone.  God that started a good work in you is going to see it through to completion.  Not by your might, or your power in the natural, but by HIS Spirit.

 

(5) For who has despised the day of small things?  When God does things by the supernatural, he usually starts out small, and tiny...and then springs that seed up into something big and mighty.  If you feel you are insignificant, you are just the seed God needs to do a mighty deed.  If you are just a little country church, you are just the seed God needs to plant into his work.  Hey, take whatever small thing you have, and yield it to God.  Don't get upset that it is such an insignificant thing...all throughout the bible God took that which was small and insignificant and did something mighty with it. 

 

Faith comes by hearing.  Did you hear all of the possibilities that God has laid out for you?  Maybe God sent you into a dead situation, to a place no one else wanted to go.  Praise God.  If your circumstances are dead in the natural, look up, it is time for God to do what he does best, a supernatural move of God.
