if you can imagine three nations are all looking at the ground so this is what
zechariah sees and then he looks over and he sees four craftsmen which we've
talked about the bear with me I'm just doing a little bit of repeat to get
where I want to go he sees four craftsmen and the verse says they came
and terrified the demonic strongholds that the video I can't wait to see of
what did that look like terrify is the pretty dramatic world like they
terrified them they scared everything out of them now it's fascinating it
doesn't say and I understand I'm take a little liberty here but I think it's
founded it's rooted enough it doesn't say they rebuke the stronghold it
doesn't say they pray it against us it doesn't say anything of that nature but
it does mention craftsman in Scripture craftsman there's several things that
you've in every time you come across craftsman is someone that's filled with
the spirit of wisdom which has a creative it has a creative force at its
very core and craftsmen are known that they were good that they were good when
they were good at what they do so we know the craftsmen they just did what
they were good at weathers with their hand whether it was song weather with
idea whatever it was they had the spirit of wisdom and with that spirit of wisdom
living in them which is God obviously but just to make sure they spirit of
wisdom lives in you and because of that everything they do is done well and with
excellence so in this story I imagine that these craftsmen came onto the scene
and they simply did what they were good at there are several types of spiritual
warfare there's the kind where you stand on the mountain and you blow shofars
I'm serious though there's and you make declarations you stand on the mountain
the nation and you make declarations over nation they're a spiritual
work where we make declarations there's another type of spiritual warfare that
you simply do what you're good at some of you really need to hear this you just
simply do what you're good at you're good at do it really well and in
that process you terrify the strongholds k that's in Zechariah you need a new
covenant example okay Ephesians chapter 3 verse 10
that's a manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the
principalities empowered in the heavenly places manifold wisdom means this the
multi-dimensional intelligence of God
what I think that the coolest thing in the world could God said he didn't say
hey I just want you to acknowledge my intelligent that multi-dimensional you
know where OMG started do you know where OMG started it started in heaven when
the Angels when they saw God and said oh my god and they bowed down and then when
they looked up oh my god and they bowed down again I know scripture says holy
holy holy but it's all the same thing
the angels were not told to do that it was a response to oh my god and they bet
and that they what's cool I don't think they were okay who want I don't think
they're like eh you're gonna do that I think that I want to do that part
I want that position in heaven and I'm sure that's not my liftoff when I get
there I want to stand next to an angel and just do oh my god for eternity oh my
god
I think that's the best job in heaven right there just to stare at God and say
oh my god I mean how hard is that
you want to do that then one day that me and you you and me will just oh my god oh
my god yeah so the manifold wisdom that the multi-dimensional intelligence of
God will be made known by who the church and in this passage is not talking about
the institution of church is talking about the believer the person so each
one of us no one's excuse from this had the the capacity the potential the
responsibility the privilege the opportunity to display the
multi-dimensional intelligence of God and when you do that that is referenced
in the Old Testament covenant now in the New Covenant the rest of that verse says
to the principalities and powers and the heavenly places which is incredible so
it's not just for the people that get to see it's actually makes a statement and
the heavens who's in charge so I think one of the I think the church is
stepping in it been it's been dabbling in it in pockets but I believe I believe
we're entering a season where the body of Christ is entering into a new type of
spiritual warfare and that is that they just do what they're really good at
so Zechariah sees these craftsmen they terrify the strongholds and then that's
the end of chapter one you read the first verse first two verses of chapter
two the next scene is Zechariah is talking to an angel and Zechariah goes what are
you doing - this ain't was actually a man who ended up being an angel then
what are you doing in the Angels that I'm making measurements of the city he's
actually has the tape measure if you will and he's making measurement of his
width its length its height he's made what's he doing he is making an order if
you read the rest of the chapter he's making an order list for all the
resources necessary to rebuild the city
it's okay they're gonna need this much stone they're gonna need this these kind
of tool they're gonna need this they're gonna need this kind of infrastructure
until the Angels literally making coming up with a list of resources what
the point I want you to understand that now there's some times where heaven does
something and we call labor with heaven there are other times where you do
something in heaven respond to your action and in this case the craft did what
they were good at freaked out the demonic stronghold and then heaven said
okay now we can come and give them everything necessary to rebuild cities
but I believe that's what we're stepping into
