Haggai 1:2-9
BSB
2 that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “These people say, ‘The time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the LORD.’”
3 Then the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet, saying:
4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?”
5 Now this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Consider carefully your ways.
6 You have planted much but harvested little. You eat but never have enough. You drink but never have your fill. You put on clothes but never get warm. You earn wages to put into a bag pierced through.”
7 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Consider carefully your ways.
8 Go up into the hills, bring down lumber, and build the house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified, says the LORD.
9 You expected much, but behold, it amounted to little. And what you brought home, I blew away. Why? declares the LORD of Hosts. Because My house still lies in ruins, while each of you is busy with his own house.

Haggai 1:12-14
BSB
12 Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, as well as all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God and the words of the prophet Haggai, because the LORD their God had sent him. So the people feared the LORD.
13 Haggai, the messenger of the LORD, delivered the message of the LORD to the people: “I am with you,” declares the LORD.
14 So the LORD stirred the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, as well as the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and began the work on the house of the LORD of Hosts, their God,

4 But now be strong, O Zerubbabel, declares the LORD. Be strong, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. And be strong, all you people of the land, declares the LORD. Work! For I am with you, declares the LORD of Hosts.
5 This is the promise I made to you when you came out of Egypt. And My Spirit remains among you; do not be afraid.”
6 For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Once more, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.
7 I will shake all the nations, and they will come with all their treasures, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of Hosts.
8 The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine, declares the LORD of Hosts.
9 The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former, says the LORD of Hosts. And in this place I will provide peace, declares the LORD of Hosts.”

18 Consider carefully from this day forward—from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, the day the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid—consider carefully:
19 Is there still seed in the barn? The vine, the fig, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yet yielded fruit. But from this day on, I will bless you.”

13 However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come.
14 He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.

Repent of broken priorities
Ezra 4:1-2
BSB
1 When the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the exiles were building a temple for the LORD, the God of Israel,
2 they approached Zerubbabel and the heads of the families, saying, “Let us build with you because, like you, we seek your God and have been sacrificing to Him since the time of King Esar-haddon of Assyria, who brought us here.”

Most demonic attacks don’t start with persecution; they start with misaligned partnerships.
Signs of a Trojan attack in our everyday life:
1. Unequally yoked partnership
2. Good—not Godly—counsel
3. Controlling (puppet) relationships

8 Rehum the commander and Shimshai the scribe wrote the letter against Jerusalem to King Artaxerxes as follows:

Ezra 4:23-24
BSB
23 When the text of the letter from King Artaxerxes was read to Rehum, Shimshai the scribe, and their associates, they went immediately to the Jews in Jerusalem and forcibly stopped them.
24 Thus the construction of the house of God in Jerusalem ceased, and it remained at a standstill until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

Their priorities were broken, not because they were bad people, but because the spirit of discouragement found a home in their hearts.
When your heart partners with discouragement, disobedience is just around the corner.
Haggai 2:4-5
BSB
4 But now be strong, O Zerubbabel, declares the LORD. Be strong, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. And be strong, all you people of the land, declares the LORD. Work! For I am with you, declares the LORD of Hosts.

Sometimes we are so worried about the devil in others' activity that we are blinded to our own inactivity.
Yield to the stirring of the Spirit
Haggai 1:14
BSB
14 So the LORD stirred the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, as well as the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and began the work on the house of the LORD of Hosts, their God,
BSB
Stir = Awaken, arouse, incite, agitate.
God will stir your spirit before He changes your situation.
God’s agitation is not punishment; it’s an alignment with His purpose.
When God stirs your spirit, past compromises become present convictions.
There is always an internal stirring before an external shifting!
Haggai 1:14 ESV
(After the stirring), They came and worked on the house of the Lord...
(After the stirring), They came and worked on the house of the Lord...
Embrace the shaking that releases the glory
Haggai 2:6-7
BSB
6 For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Once more, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.
7 I will shake all the nations, and they will come with all their treasures, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of Hosts.

BSB
Glory of God = The weight of His presence; the fullness and perfection of who He is, manifest to us.
Shaking = God is clearing out what can’t hold the full weight of who He is in our lives.
Hebrews 12:26-28
BSB
26 At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth, but heaven as well.”
27 The words “Once more” signify the removal of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that the unshakable may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.

This shaking is necessary for you to live in a supernatural, unexplainable realm.
This shaking isn't demonic; it is divine.
Sit back and let God shake what needs to go!
Haggai 2:9
BSB
9 The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former, says the LORD of Hosts. And in this place I will provide peace, declares the LORD of Hosts.”
