HAGGAI 1:1-15

2.  Hag 1:1 On the first day of the sixth
month of the second year of the reign of
King Darius, this message from the LORD
came by Haggai the prophet to
Shealtiel's son Zerubbabel, governor of
Judah, and to Jehozadak's son Joshua,
the high priest:

3.  Hag 1:2 "This is what the LORD of the
Heavenly Armies says: 'These people
keep saying, "No, the right time for
rebuilding the LORD's Temple has not yet
come."'"
 Hag 1:3 Then this message from the
LORD came by Haggai the prophet:
 Hag 1:4 "Is it the right time for all of you
to live in your own paneled houses while
this house remains in ruins?"

4.  Hag 1:5 "Now this is what the LORD of the
Heavenly Armies, says: 'Carefully consider
your ways:
 Hag 1:6 You have sowed much but have
reaped little. You have eaten but don't
have enough to become satisfied. You
have drunk but don't have enough to
become intoxicated. You have clothed
yourself but don't have enough to keep
warm. And the hired laborer deposits his
salary in a bag full of holes!'"

5.  Hag 1:7 "This is what the LORD of the
Heavenly Armies says: 'Carefully
consider your ways:
 Hag 1:8 Go up into the mountains, bring
timber, and reconstruct my house. Then I
will be pleased with it and I will be
honored,' says the LORD.

6.  Hag 1:9 'You turned away in pursuit of
abundance, but look at how little you
found! What you did manage to bring
home, I blew away! And why?' declares
the LORD of the Heavenly Armies. 'It's
because of my house! It lies in ruins while
each of you runs off to his own house!
 Hag 1:10 That is why the heavens keep
withholding dew from you, and the earth
withholds her fruit.

7.  Hag 1:11 I sent a drought on the
land, on the mountains, on your
grain, on your new wines, on your
oil—on everything the ground
produces—on men, on livestock,
and on everything you do!'"

8.  Hag 1:12 Then Shealtiel's son
Zerubbabel, Jehozadak's son Joshua
the high priest, and all the rest of the
people obeyed the LORD their God
and the words of Haggai the prophet,
because the LORD their God had sent
him. And the people feared the LORD.

9. Hag 1:13 Haggai, the
messenger of the LORD, spoke
to the people with a special
commission from the LORD: "'I
am with you,' declares the
LORD."

10.  Hag 1:14 Then the LORD revitalized
the spirit of Shealtiel's son Zerubbabel,
governor of Judah, the spirit of
Jehozadak's son Joshua the high
priest, and the spirit of all the rest of
the people, so they came and began
to work on the house of their God, the
LORD of the Heavenly Armies.

11. Hag 1:15 This took place on
the twenty-fourth day of the
sixth month of the second
year of the reign of King
Darius.

12.  WE NEED TO BUILD UP GOD’S TEMPLE
PHYSICALLY

13.  1 CORINTHIANS 6:19-20, “DO YOU NOT
KNOW THAT YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS IN YOU, WHOM
YOU HAVE FROM GOD, AND YOU ARE
NOT YOUR OWN? FOR YOU WERE BOUGHT
AT A PRICE; THEREFORE GLORIFY GOD IN
YOUR BODY AND IN YOUR SPIRIT WHICH
ARE GOD’S.”

14.  WE NEED TO BUILD UP GOD’S TEMPLE
PHYSICALLY
 WE NEED TO BUILD UP GOD’S TEMPLE
MENTALLY

15.  The Law of Concentration.
 The Law of Substitution.

16.  The Law of Concentration states that
whatever we dwell upon grows in our life
experience. Whatever we think about on
a continual basis becomes a part of us.
Yes, we become what we think, and the
more we dwell on something, the more
we have of it in our lives.

17.  The Law of Substitution states that our
conscience mind can only hold one
thought at a time. It makes no difference
to our mind whether the thought is
"negative" or "positive," it can only hold
one at a time.

18.  Proverbs 23:7a, "For as he thinketh
in his heart, so is he.“
 Isaiah 26:3, "Thou wilt keep him in
perfect peace, whose mind is
stayed on thee: because he
trusteth in thee."

19. Rom 12:2 Do not be conformed to
this world, but continually be
transformed by the renewing of
your minds so that you may be
able to determine what God's will
is—what is proper, pleasing, and
perfect.

20.  Php 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is
true, whatever is honorable, whatever
is fair, whatever is pure, whatever is
acceptable, whatever is
commendable, if there is anything of
excellence and if there is anything
praiseworthy—keep thinking about
these things.

21.  Php 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was
also in Christ Jesus:
 Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God,
thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
 Php 2:7 But made himself of no reputation,
and took upon him the form of a servant,
and was made in the likeness of men:
 Php 2:8 And being found in fashion as a
man, he humbled himself, and became
obedient unto death, even the death of the
cross.
