This world is Un-fixable by human might and power.

Zec 4:6  ... Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

Might and power- two things people wield to gain control of other people and situations. Those who gain might and power and get others with might and power to follow them are often people of great influence over others and they've won wars throughout history this way. They've won wars, leadership positions, marriages, you name it, the earthly treasures are at their fingertips. Is it any wonder people are often lustful for such power- for riches, power and might?  People want to live their lives comfortably  without excessive worry. People want to have their needs taken care of and to throw in a little extra for comfort.  People here in the western world live lives of extreme ease compared to those who suffer, and scrounge just to survive.  We know this, but it doesn't stop our excessive desire for comfort, for material security and ease.  We believe that money will take care of all that worry for security and ease, and I'd be lying to say money doesn't offer a certain degree of assurance that our earthly needs are taken care of.

Might and power give riches and security on an earthly physical level and people seek this often above everything else.

'Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.' 

Yes, might and power have done many things but ultimately it truly is only BY the Spirit of the Lord that we have the greatest success in life- and that success is the  assurance of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Nothing else, no matter what it is, matters if we forfeit eternal life. This is truth.

You can have ALL the might and power the world has to offer and it will NOT give you eternal life.

Even with all the might and power the world has to offer there is one thing you still have to do, you have to live in this world KNOWING all your might and power cannot bring  peace to everyone in the world. All your might, power, influence, money cannot rid the world of evil and all it's affects.

This world is UNFIXABLE by human might and power.

However, the Spirit of the LORD alone has guaranteed us HOPE for a world made new. This world will only be made new AFTER all evil is destroyed and that is something mankind can never do, destroy evil. It can barely contain a tiny portion of the evil that exists, and that containment is only achieved by the creation of an even more evil place- concentrated evil with just tiny bits of supposed non-evil to control the evil.  No, mankind cannot and NEVER will be able to rid the world of evil, it's an impossibility. Mankind has no control over the spiritual realm beyond choosing to believe in God over Evil. Once we choose the spiritual side we wish to be on, the battle ensues and our choice must be renewed daily as it is tested, tried, and tormented. 

The battle has been WON.

It's which side YOU choose to be on that remains.

Satan will stop at nothing to bring you to his side, and God stopped at NOTHING to bring you to His- sacrificing His only begotten Son for us.

Will we through the Spirit choose God? Or will we choose Satan?

Not by might.
Not by power.
But by God's Spirit!

Amen!
