you have your Bibles open them with me
to the Old Testament book of Zachariah I
want you to see some powerful
verses in the book of Zechariah Chapter
1 we’ll begin reading with verse
16 therefore thus says the Lord I am
returning to Jerusalem with
Mercy my house shall be built in it says
the Lord of hosts and a surveyor’s line
shall be stretched out over Jerusalem
he’s saying all of this after Babylonian
captivity after the city the nation has
been destroyed 70 years of captivity and
God sends this word and then he says in
verse 17 Again Proclaim saying thus says
the Lord of hosts my cities shall again
spread out through
Prosperity the Lord will again Comfort
Zion and will again Che choose
Jerusalem Verse
18 then I raised my eyes and looked this
is Zachariah and he says there were four
horns and I said to the angel who talked
with me what are these so he answered me
these are the horns that have scattered
Judah notice now what are the horns
doing they scattered Judah Israel and
Jerusalem then the Lord showed me four
carpenters and I said what are these
coming to do so he said these are the
horns that scattered Judah so that
listen to it no one can lift up his
head but the Carpenters are coming to
terrify
them to cast out the
horns of the Nations that lifted up
their horn against the land of Judah to
scatter
it so I’m preaching today on build it
and part one this morning I’m preaching
on the remedy for
discouragement but I feel those words
alive in my soul this morning build it
in some cases rebuild
it but you’ll understand that what God
is doing in this hour I believe is found
in Zechariah Chapter 1
he speaks of a vision and he speaks of
seeing in the middle of it four horns
rising up he said and behold I lifted up
my eyes and there were four horns horns
in the Bible are symbols and synonymous
with power with strength with a Rams
Horn is what it’s referring to and it
has to do with aggressive power not just
power but aggressive power unbridled
without
restraint and is coming to destroy these
four horns came up to destroy notice
what it said to scatter rising up
against Jerusalem which is the capital
city of Israel and Judah which is the
people the seed the the the race of
Israel and Israel the entire nation to
scatter them that word is so important
the purpose of of the horns was to
scatter Israel it was and we today the
church is spiritual Israel there’s
natural Israel and there’s spiritual
Israel and these things were written for
our learning to understand how the enemy
operates when he attacks Israel the
church the body of
Christ so that the people would be so
defeated so discouraged and despondent
that their head is looking down not
looking up
adversity
comes to take our
vision to turn our head down away from
the future of Hope and the faith in our
future to be dissipated to be
discouraged and everything about that
posture of looking down is unbiblical
the Bible clearly says in Psalms 121 and
verses 1 and two lift up your eyes into
the
heels you’re not supposed to be
despondent and looking down that’s the
enemy and the spirit that’s coming and
it came to the nation of Israel the
people of Israel and the capital city of
Jerusalem and it said you are defeated
and you are to stay down don’t you look
up with faith and vision lift up your
head unto the heels from which cometh
your help your help is the lord it’s
time to break out of the present
problems it’s time to lift up your eyes
I’m going to preach what God told me to
preach we have a bright future your
family if you believe in Jesus Christ I
don’t care how scattered and divided it
is you lift up your head you do have a
future and God still has a vision for
miracles in your home it’s not over
better days are coming God’s not done
God’s not going to let it in like this
and it’s not his will for your family to
be scattered broken divided and defeated
in the name of Jesus help is on the way
I believe that when you begin to focus
on where you’ve been that’s where you
stay but he
said
together Israel Jerusalem Judah
everything the enem tried to scatter and
divide and there is a great great spirit
I believe that has come to divide our
nation to divide our families to divide
our marriages to divide us from our
future place of Destiny and
calling and a scattering of Godly
marriages is happening a scattering of
families raised in church and then comes
those those four horns to scatter and
divide and tear to pieces and you sit
here without your children Sunday after
Sunday and your heart swells and you
wonder where in the world and how in the
world is this thing ever going to change
we’re scattered we’re divided in our
families and in our homes but I did not
come to preach bad
news I have a remedy I have a solution
for all of the scattering
dividing demonic spirits that have come
against families marriages homes and
this nation the problem is scattering
but here’s the good news he said my
solution for scattering Spirits is there
is another force in the vision that
started rising up he said I see a group
of people and they’ve got work belts
strapped on they’ve got hammers they’ve
got nails they’re not tearer Downs
they’re Builder UPS they’re Builders
they’re they’re laborers they’re workers
they’re carpenters and they are coming
and they will destroy the word said
those four horns and what they wanted to
do to the families of
Israel what is happening is I will send
forth the carpenter and they will subdue
the scattering
Spirits there’s about to be building and
rebuilding of that which has been
scattered and
divided God needs Carpenters right now
not
critics God needs Carpenters right now
not
complainers and God needs carpenters and
Builders right now not a bunch of cynics
who say well I believe last year and
it’s gotten worse I don’t care God is in
control and God is working even when it
doesn’t look like he’s working and he’s
saying I need some Carpenters who will
get their head up get their faith up and
get their work tools out and start
building back what the enem tried to
destroy the walls of Nehemiah the walls
of Jerusalem that Nehemiah rebuilt will
rebuilt in 52
days but it did not happen with empty
hands the Bible said every man woman boy
girl took a tool in one hand a
hammer or something like that and they
took a sword in the other hand
and they said we will fight for our
families we will fight for our marriages
we will fight every evil spirit that
comes to scatter and divide if you
wanted a fight devil you pick this fight
you’re going to get a fight I’m going to
take the sword of the spirit which is
the word of God and I will stab you to
death you will not get my family my
nation my home my children my
grandchildren children I’m going to
build with one hand and fight with the
other building and battling building and
[Applause]
battling but it won’t happen with Idle
Hands the enemy wants your hands idle
while the enemy is scattering and
dividing your children and your family
and tearing Everything To Pieces but you
have to put on a work belt and get you
one of those nuclear
powered I don’t know what they’re called
you can tell how gifted I am in that
department you need a just to feel like
a man you need a tape measure on your
belt and you need a hammer hanging off
of you and when Hell Comes to destroy
everything that you love you just grab a
sword in one hand and grab your power
drill in the other hand
and say devil I know you’ve attacked
through drugs through alcoholism through
de Demons of depression and byar
whatever in the name of Jesus I have the
spirit of a carpenter and I’m going
rebuild what hell has
destroyed get your head up get your
faith up get your vision up God has not
forsaken you or your family
woo glory to
God Jesus for the first 30 years of his
life was not raised in the
priesthood he was raised in a
carpenter’s
home and the last three years of his
life when he started doing Miracles
after he had worked in his father’s
carpentry business rebuild broken
things the people
said when they saw him doing
Miracles is not this Joseph the
carpenter
son carpentry has always been God’s
remedy for scattering and dividing and
discouraging God’s
people Jesus showed up with the spirit
of the Builder when he came
and he said I’ve got the tools that I
need to rebuild any marriage any family
Any Nation any people who will turn to
me I’ve got three Nails I’ve got a
hammer and I’ve got two
beans and if you take the cross and the
nails and you take the sacrifice of his
blood on the cross it can rebuild any
broken place in your life that’s my
Carpenter his name name is
Jesus so there are three things that God
wants us to
rebuild if you’re going to see the
spirit of the
carpenter hit your life and raise back
up what the enemy has scattered and
divided first of all you got to rebuild
the
altar every problem
with people is a prayer
problem if you fix your
altar you will fix your
life if your altar is unfixed your life
will remain
unfixed there comes a point when you get
so desperate that you rebuild your altar
and if you will rebuild the Altar and
put God first in your life
and begin to call on him and begin to
listen to him because prayer is talking
to God word is listening to
God and if you will rebuild your altar
your altar will rebuild your life
rebuild your marriage rebuild your
children rebuild your
future there is no shortcuts that’s why
when Elijah wanted the fire to fall on
his Nation again they were in a drought
for three and A2 years and he went to
Mount Carmel and he said I’ve got to
First build an altar to solve this
problem to rebuild the nation rebuild
the Altar and he got 12 Stones he
stacked them on top of each other he
built a fire with wood and he did not
start the fire he just put the wood
there and he laid the sacrifice on the
drywood and then he did something
strange he called for 12 barrels of
water the one thing they didn’t have was
water it had not rain nor Dew had come
in the
mornings there was no Dee or rain for
three and A2 years and water was the one
thing they didn’t have much of at all
isn’t it amazing that the thing that
will help you build your altar is the
thing you don’t have enough
of and most people don’t pray when they
have what they need but the thing that
you don’t have that you desperately want
to see happen is the very thing that
should cause you to pour and build an
altar and they drench The Altar and the
fire fell from heaven and lit the fire
and the famine was over and the nation
was blessed and
restored rebuild the altar don’t leave
the altar in disarray if the enemies
come through your family with scattering
and dividing
rebuild the altar altars are always the
result of when you don’t have enough in
yourself to do it it’s going to take God
use that as as as fuel to make you build
an altar I can’t do it I don’t have
enough but God can the second thing
you’ve got to
do if you’re going to get your head
lifted up into vision and future and
rebuild your life and rebuild everything
that the enemy has scattered and divided
is you’ve got to rebuild your
relationships with people
you see we have got to
unself
ourselves we are a selfie
generation that’s why we take our cell
phones and we’ll hold it up and some
people post 400 pictures of themsel a
day it’s called a
selfie and the spirit of the selfie has
got in the church
and all we think about is
ourselves but when you lift up your head
and God begins to rebuild your altar it
will make you begin to focus on other
people not just yourself but you start
saying well if I’m walking through this
I’m walking through it because God’s
going to get Glory out of it and that
means that I’m going to be healed by
helping somebody else and building
somebody else up
up because I’ve been there and I know
what they’re facing that’s why this one
is important the third one is build
yourself up Jude chapter 1 and verse 20
says that beloved you are to build up
yourselves in The Most Holy Faith how
praying in the Holy
Spirit praying in the heavenly
language praying in the holy
ghost walking and praying in the
spirit how do you do that you build
yourself up by putting on CDs of worship
by putting on music in your heart
singing making Melody building your
faith up walking and praying and talking
to
God and I can tell somebody here that
the spirit of the carpenter is here this
morning to tell you if you have no hope
if you have your head down looking only
at your present and
grieving that the remedy for
discouragement is Here Comes Jesus
Christ and here comes his army of
Believers the encouragers the laborers
the Builders the Carpenters I’m looking
at them and God says I’ve done too much
for you for you to have empty hands and
not be building somebody else’s life
because I rescued you and rebuil you I
want you to rebuild others and their
faith and it starts with you rebuilding
the altar out of your own
need can you just throw throw your hands
up right where you’re sitting at every
campus just say Lord here’s my
family here’s my marriage here’s my
future here’s my life here’s my
disappointments here’s my trials here’s
my
addiction here’s what I don’t have
here’s here here here’s where I
am and those that Spirit of scattering
that satanic scattering and dividing in
the name of Jesus I’ve come with the
remedy that has caused your head to not
be able to be lifted up unto the hills
from which comes your help and that
remedy is the spirit of the carpenter
Jesus Christ who has come not to
demolish but to rebuild broken lives
broken families
broken marriages broken
relationships rebuild old broken
relationships go to work quit worrying
and start working there’s a verse in in
Nehemiah uh chapter 4 that says the
people had a mind to
work if you’ll get the mind to work your
hands will
follow and some of you got to get a mind
set that I’m not going to just sit back
and let the enemy scatter and divide my
family I have a mind mind to work on
this my mind is renewed about this and I
have the spirit of the Carpenter and I’m
going to start building steps and a
bridge back to what the enemy has
scattered and
divided it’s time for us to believe that
God can rebuild everything the enemy has
destroyed your family is not too far
gone your business is not too far gone
and many of you need to invite Jesus
into your life he is the master
Carpenter he can take what you have and
he won’t demolish you more but he wants
to rebuild everything that has been
devastated pray this prayer and watch
what Jesus can do invite him in say
Jesus I give you my life I’ll do what I
can do I will surrender to you wash me
and cleanse me I just give you my life I
kneel down in my heart and I give you my
life on the altar in Jesus mighty name I
want to welcome you to the family of God
