Pastor How to Read LukePrimjer

Please read the Gospel of Luke 1:18-20,

20 But now, since you didn’t believe what I said, you will be silent and unable to speak until the child is born.

The angel literally muted him. People who don’t believe should just stay silent.

When faith-filled people share their dreams and visions, we either support them or stay silent. I guess one of the reasons why Pastor Lia and I can build a youth church is because we always believe and support young people's crazy ideas and outlandish dreams.

Zechariah was muted until the ‘child is born’. That means don’t speak doubts until the dream is birthed. That’s why in our church, we have an adage - "If you have nothing good to say, don’t say anything."

20 For my words will certainly be fulfilled at the proper time.

The distance between Promise and Fulfillment is Time.

For this case, it was 9 months. Some of you are pregnant with God’s promise… you need to keep the faith, be patient and don’t abort your dreams.
