Faith Building & God’s Word

Excerpt from Dick Mills ‘He Spoke and I was Strengthened’

Dick Mills has a unique way of capturing the frustration of the believer and God’s faithful response back to the believer. This short but powerful chapter from beginning to end reveals God’s words that He hasn’t left, He is fully engaged, and is very aware of the frustration of a believers emotions and anxiety asking ‘how’ is this going to happen?

A Word from the Lord for those asking “How?”

Zechariah 4:6  “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.”

Not by might,

Nor by power,

But by My Spirit, saith the Lord.

This is how you shall go forth, 

This is how you will win your victory.

You have leaned

Upon your own understanding. But your own understanding has failed you.

This excerpt is from Dick Mills Book “He Spoke and I was strengthened” The book is a classic Christian book that focuses on how to hear God’s voice and receive strength through His Words.

“Therefore I will give you the Spirit of understanding.

You have run-

In your own strength. But your strength has drained away….

Therefore, I will strengthen your spiritual man.

You have applied-

Your own wisdom. But your wisdom has not been sufficient. 

Therefore, My Spirit of wisdom shall rest upon you.

You have spoken your own words-

But your words have met with strong resistance. Therefore,

My Spirit shall rest upon you and you will speak the words I give you.

You will then be irresistible.

Therefore, know this-

That in all you set your hand to do, My Spirit will empower you – and

My Spirit will prevail against

The power of the enemy.

My Spirit will work a miracle for you,

And glory and honor will come to Me.

Look not to your own weakness.

Look not to your own inabilities.

Look not to your lack of education.

Look not to your lack of resources.

Understand this:

My power is made perfect in human weakness. 

In your weakness, you will be made strong in Me and

In the power of My might. Whatever is done

Will be accomplished by the power of My Spirit in 

You.

You will see tremendous victory

Wrought by My hand.

Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered. Psalm 68:1

Do you need a good word from the Lord? A timely word that brings hope to an ongoing long term situation?

Hearing God’s Words above the noise, regardless of the distractions is imperative. God’s Word brings strength and it brings wisdom.

There is encouragement during tough times.

There is a Word from God that strengthens your soul regardless of the onslaught the enemy has tried to pummel you with and that Word is this-

‘Let God arise and His enemies be scattered.’ Psalm 68:1

‘The Lord shall cause your enemies that rise up against you to be smitten before your face. They will come out against you one way but flee before you seven ways.’ Deuteronomy 28:7

‘Moab hired Balaam to curse Israel, but our God turned the curse into a blessing.’ Nehemiah 13:2

‘Rather worship the Lord your God, it is He who will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.’ 2 Kings 17:39

‘If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and He will deliver us from your Majesty’s hand.’ Daniel 3:17

God who we serve is well able to deliver us, protect us and help us.

‘So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.’ Isaiah 41:10

God is telling us to not fear. Not let ourselves be overwhelmed by our circumstances. To not let the outward pressure be stronger than the inner strength.

He says ‘do not fear, do not be dismayed.’ We are in charge of our feelings, and we can strengthen ourselves in the Lord and stand on what His Words promise.

He will help us.

He will strengthen us.

He will hold us up with His Righteous right hand.

Shift your focus and your eyes from the tough circumstance you find yourself in and look up. Look to God.

He promised to help.

He is Emmanuel and He is with you. He hasn’t left you and He hasn’t abandoned you.

He is with you. Isaiah 41:10.

To God Be All the Glory.
