Zech 4:1-7 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
2 And 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:
3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
6 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.
7 Who 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.

How can the mountains in our lives be removed, how can they be climbed? As we saw yesterday, it is not by our power or by our might, so how can we have victory? We fist need to be walking in the light. The first thing that Zerubbabel saw was a candlestick, that which was used for giving light. We need to be found walking in the light of the Word of God, walking in fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ. If the mountains in our lives are to be removes, if they are to become a plain, it will be by the power of the Holy Spirit of God. In order to have this power realized in our lives we need to be found walking in the light, need to be found walking in Lord. Notice that I said in order to have this power realized in our lives. Indeed every born again child of God has the Holy Spirit of God within, so he or she has this power within as well. The reason so many never realize that power is that they choose to walk in the world instead of in the light. They spend more time in the world, more time in front of the TV, the PC, on the cell phone, than they do in the Lord. Get away from the things of the world and get into the Word of God, spend time in prayer, in meditation on the things of God, and in serving God. You will then find those mountains getting smaller instead of bigger day by day. Walk in the light.
