Thank you so much for those beautiful Scriptures and your testimony, dear sister in Christ!

And I'm very glad indeed that you are pleased with the "bakery shop kids." LOLOL!

Then 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. - Zec 4:6

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. - Romans 8:9

It has everything to do with Who God IS.

To God be the glory, not man, never man.

"... 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. - Zec 4:6

AMEN. Christ, hidden in the Old Testament, revealed in the new.

"So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy." -- Romans 9:16

I love to read where the OT so clearly parallels the New Testament. All one book.

"Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen." -- Romans 16:25-27
