Blessing for March 27th 2008

[jeremiah7]

[FONT=&quot]Zechariah 4:6-9[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]So he said to me, "This is the word of the [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Lord[/FONT][FONT=&quot] to Zerubbabel: `Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Lord[/FONT][FONT=&quot] 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!' "Then the word of the [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Lord[/FONT][FONT=&quot] came to me: "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Lord[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Almighty has sent me to you.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Construction of the second temple, after the exile in [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Babylon[/FONT][FONT=&quot] was started in 536 B.C. on the Solomonic foundations leveled a half- century earlier by the Babylonians. There were several attempts to thwart it. Many enemies rose to hinder the building but finally in 516 B.C., the sixth year of the Persian emperor Darius 1, the temple was finally completed.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]If you are out to build something, whether your spiritual life, a church or something in your life in this world, hindrances may come, but remember, “It’s not by might nor by power, but by God’s Spirit” that you have to build and only then you will see victory. Persist in prayer till the answer comes and the hindrance is removed. That mighty mountain before you will be flattened by the Spirit of the Lord. The victory is your’s , so praise the Lord.[/FONT]

Only God can and will build
It through and with us
As we can't do it alone!
