" Nor by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts." (Zech. 4:66Then 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. (Zechariah 4:6).) When the angel of the Lord was conversing with Zechariah he said, " This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, Not by might," &c.
'Tis well for any vessel that the Lord may be using, or that may be waiting on the Lord, if haply He will use him, to bear this in mind. All the might and power, when the Lord is working towards works of grace among men, is by His Spirit. It is good too for the vessel to receive and treasure up the negative not, as applied to himself Resurrection power working amid death around and within ourselves is what we have to count upon.
