RHAPSODY OF REALITIES TUESDAY 05 OCTOBER 2021 PASTOR CHRIS TOPIC: POWERED BY THE HOLY GHOST KEY VERSE: 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 (Zechariah 4:6).

In the book of Acts, the apostles understood this and ministered always in and by the power of the Spirit. Oftentimes, they were described as men full of the Holy Ghost; for example, Stephen (Acts 6:5). Then it says in verse 8, “And Stephen
