“Not by might, nor
by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.” ~ Zechariah 4:6
I have no might or power, only my Lord's Holy Spirit can
manifest a good work, indeed bring a miracle to pass. … … I can never again pray for help that focuses
on God to empower me. Never can pray that He help accomplish Christ’s work. My
Lord has placed His Spirit in me and upon me to be a witness of Christ, to
disciple, to love … what he has told me, a follower, to do.
I can only pray with a surrendered will and life to my
Lord, in hope that He will use me as an open conduit, through which His Holy
Spirit’s power accomplishes the will of the Father.
So, I pray, “Not I, not for what my will desires, but in
the will and by the power of the Lord God Almighty’s Spirit that God’s will be
manifest. In the Name above all names, Jesus Christ, so be it, Amen and
Amen.”
In Christ alone, a conduit of His Spirit,
