  • God’s Word accomplishes what God wants to with God’s people
  • Believed it, acted on it, and feared the Lord.
  • Fear included reverential awe of God and terror.
    • God is an immense being. Terrifying.
    • He speaks things into being but loves us.
    • This should shape the way I live my live.
  • Gods words moved through His people.
  • The difference with the prophet, Haggai, than other prophets, is all the people listened, believed and took action.
  • “I am with you,” declares the Lord.
  • For 16 years, they neglected what he was saying, now they have been revived or stirred up.  They have been given a new fresh passion.  They changed their perspective.
  • God encourages and renews/revives their heart. He steps in, and they obey.
  • You cannot passively start or wait until you feel ready. God’s people have to work with him.
  • Where is God calling you out to do?
  • Am I choosing to follow the Lord whether or not I feel like it?
  • Trust him, take a step forward and walk in faith.
