Not by might, nor by power..but by my SPIRIT says the LORD!

This morning I was awakened by the Holy Spirit saying this over and over until I found myself just singing it unto the LORD!

"Not by might, nor by power...but by my spirit says the Lord!"

I am so emotional this morning....there is such a stillness in my spirit...a roaring silence..a longing to rest under his wing...just to be silent, but at the same time my spirit is just crying out to him....craving more and more of Jesus... The Holy Spirit has brought me to this place where I need him like I need the very air to breathe... Thank you my Lord and savior for drawing me by your spirit.... for placing your spirit inside of me.... for burning a like fire with in me... Thank you for bringing me to a place where I can not live by bread alone!

Zechariah 4

   1And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
   2And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
   3And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
   4So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
   5Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
   6Then 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.
   7Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof 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 thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
   10For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
   11Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
   12And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
   13And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
   14Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.

Psalm 63: 1-8

O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
