  • Gregory dickow: well, merry christmas, happy christmas,

  • Remember that name of jesus, emmanuel, god with us.

  • You know god's with us right now.
  • 00:00:09.365 --> 00:00:10.867
  • He's with you, he's with me, he's with our connection here.
  • 00:00:10.867 --> 00:00:14.170
  • Right now, wherever you are, you're wrapped in the presence
  • 00:00:14.170 --> 00:00:17.640
  • Of god, and i want to spend a few cherished moments together

  • On this great christmas day to hear what god has to say to us.
  • 00:00:21.177 --> 00:00:25.348
  • I want to encourage you to stay connected until the end for a
  • 00:00:25.348 --> 00:00:28.785
  • Very special christmas-miracle prayer just for you.
  • 00:00:28.785 --> 00:00:32.322
  • Check this out.
  • 00:00:32.322 --> 00:00:33.656
  • ♪♪♪
  • 00:00:33.656 --> 00:00:56.513
  • Gregory: luke chapter 1, verse 5, it says, "in the day of
  • 00:00:43.666 --> 00:01:01.551
  • Herod, in the days of herod, king of judea, there was a
  • 00:01:01.551 --> 00:01:04.487
  • Certain priest named zacharias.
  • 00:01:04.487 --> 00:01:06.956
  • He had a wife from the daughters of aaron, and her name
  • 00:01:06.956 --> 00:01:10.260
  • Was elizabeth."
  • 00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:11.594
  • Now, these are the parents of john the baptist, as you know,
  • 00:01:11.594 --> 00:01:13.930
  • And they were both righteous in the sight of god, walking
  • 00:01:13.930 --> 00:01:16.599
  • Blameless in all his word and requirements, and they had no
  • 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:21.404
  • Child, though, because elizabeth was barren, and they were both
  • 00:01:21.404 --> 00:01:24.274
  • Advanced in years.
  • 00:01:24.274 --> 00:01:25.608
  • In other words, they were old people, and it came about while
  • 00:01:25.608 --> 00:01:28.945
  • He was performing his priestly service before god in the
  • 00:01:28.945 --> 00:01:32.248
  • Appointed order of his division.
  • 00:01:32.248 --> 00:01:34.117
  • You see, according to custom of the priestly office, he was
  • 00:01:34.117 --> 00:01:38.121
  • Chosen by law to enter the temple of the lord and burn
  • 00:01:38.121 --> 00:01:41.958
  • Incense, and the whole multitude of the people were in prayer
  • 00:01:41.958 --> 00:01:45.228
  • Outside at the hour of the incense offering, and he could
  • 00:01:45.228 --> 00:01:49.532
  • Only be picked-- the priest could only be picked once in
  • 00:01:49.532 --> 00:01:51.935
  • Their lifetime, and i want you to know you've been picked once
  • 00:01:51.935 --> 00:01:55.338
  • For all time to be a part of god's family, to be a king and a
  • 00:01:55.338 --> 00:01:59.108
  • Priest in christ, so the priest would go into the temple and
  • 00:01:59.108 --> 00:02:02.879
  • Make an animal sacrifice, shedding the blood of animals
  • 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:05.682
  • For the covering, or the atonement, of people's sin.
  • 00:02:05.682 --> 00:02:09.085
  • Once a year, in the jewish tradition, that their sins had
  • 00:02:09.152 --> 00:02:11.888
  • To be covered once a year through a sacrifice of an
  • 00:02:11.888 --> 00:02:14.257
  • Animal, but thank god jesus did it once and for all and washed
  • 00:02:14.257 --> 00:02:19.095
  • It all away, but in verse 11 it says that an angel of the lord
  • 00:02:19.095 --> 00:02:22.999
  • Appeared to zachariah, standing at the right-- to the right of
  • 00:02:22.999 --> 00:02:26.002
  • The altar of incense, and zacharias was troubled when he
  • 00:02:26.002 --> 00:02:29.772
  • Saw him.
  • 00:02:29.772 --> 00:02:31.174
  • Now, you would be troubled too because you have to understand
  • 00:02:31.174 --> 00:02:34.177
  • The timing of this visitation of this angel, that 400 years have
  • 00:02:34.177 --> 00:02:38.715
  • Gone by, 400 years of silence between the book of malachi, the
  • 00:02:38.715 --> 00:02:43.853
  • Last book of the old covenant, and this moment when this angel
  • 00:02:43.853 --> 00:02:49.425
  • Visits zacharias, who is john the baptist's father.
  • 00:02:49.425 --> 00:02:52.962
  • "he said, 'don't be afraid, zacharias, for your prayer has
  • 00:02:53.029 --> 00:02:57.400
  • Been heard, and your wife elizabeth will bear a son, and
  • 00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.203
  • You will give him the name john.'"
  • 00:03:00.203 --> 00:03:02.772
  • Now, these are called-- this is so important, these are called
  • 00:03:02.772 --> 00:03:06.676
  • The 400 years of silence, the 400 years of silence from the
  • 00:03:06.676 --> 00:03:12.515
  • Book of malachi, the last book of the old covenant, until this
  • 00:03:12.515 --> 00:03:15.918
  • Moment in luke chapter one, and i pray you get ahold of how
  • 00:03:15.918 --> 00:03:21.224
  • Significant this moment was.
  • 00:03:21.224 --> 00:03:22.992
  • God's people had not heard from him for 400 years.
  • 00:03:22.992 --> 00:03:27.363
  • Have you ever felt like that?
  • 00:03:27.363 --> 00:03:29.365
  • It seems like heaven has been silent for 400 years?
  • 00:03:29.365 --> 00:03:32.568
  • Four hundred years they had been waiting.
  • 00:03:32.568 --> 00:03:34.837
  • Four hundred years they have been wondering.
  • 00:03:34.837 --> 00:03:37.106
  • Four hundred years they had been afraid.
  • 00:03:37.106 --> 00:03:38.875
  • For 400 years, they were questioning whether god would
  • 00:03:38.875 --> 00:03:42.011
  • Ever speak to them again.
  • 00:03:42.011 --> 00:03:43.379
  • Have you ever felt like you're wondering, "will god ever speak
  • 00:03:43.379 --> 00:03:45.381
  • To me again?"
  • 00:03:45.381 --> 00:03:46.816
  • And suddenly, gabriel shows up and speaks to zacharias, and
  • 00:03:46.816 --> 00:03:50.153
  • Listen to what he says.
  • 00:03:50.153 --> 00:03:51.554
  • He says two vital things to him that god is speaking to us as
  • 00:03:51.554 --> 00:03:55.191
  • Well right now.
  • 00:03:55.191 --> 00:03:56.559
  • Number one, he says, "do not be afraid."
  • 00:03:56.559 --> 00:03:58.928
  • Well, that should be the first thing we realize that god always
  • 00:03:58.995 --> 00:04:01.531
  • Wants to say to us.
  • 00:04:01.531 --> 00:04:02.899
  • Do not be afraid.
  • 00:04:02.899 --> 00:04:04.400
  • The first message of the gospel was "do not be afraid."
  • 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.637
  • Jesus coming into this world was to cause us to not be afraid, to
  • 00:04:07.637 --> 00:04:12.075
  • Deliver us from fear.
  • 00:04:12.075 --> 00:04:13.509
  • Jesus coming into this world was perfect love, and perfect love
  • 00:04:13.509 --> 00:04:16.679
  • Casts out fear, and i want you to see that the first thing that
  • 00:04:16.679 --> 00:04:20.083
  • This angel says to zacharias is the first thing he's saying to
  • 00:04:20.083 --> 00:04:23.386
  • You and me right now.
  • 00:04:23.386 --> 00:04:25.321
  • Do not be afraid.
  • 00:04:25.321 --> 00:04:26.756
  • No matter what's going on in this world, no matter how long
  • 00:04:26.756 --> 00:04:28.658
  • It's been since you heard from god, do not be afraid, and then
  • 00:04:28.658 --> 00:04:31.894
  • Notice what he says next.
  • 00:04:31.894 --> 00:04:33.329
  • "your prayer has been heard."
  • 00:04:33.329 --> 00:04:35.064
  • Your prayer has been heard.
  • 00:04:35.064 --> 00:04:39.469
  • This is so vital to understand.
  • 00:04:36.966 --> 00:04:41.371
  • God's people have not heard from god for 400 years, but that
  • 00:04:41.371 --> 00:04:44.807
  • Doesn't mean god hasn't been listening, they might not have
  • 00:04:44.807 --> 00:04:47.710
  • Been hearing what god had to say to them, but he was listening to
  • 00:04:47.710 --> 00:04:50.380
  • Everything they had to pray.
  • 00:04:50.380 --> 00:04:52.014
  • Do you realize that sometimes you feel like god is silent, but
  • 00:04:52.014 --> 00:04:55.885
  • He's always listening.
  • 00:04:55.885 --> 00:04:57.220
  • You might feel right now, "i don't feel like god's answering.
  • 00:04:57.220 --> 00:05:00.089
  • I don't feel like god's speaking to me.
  • 00:05:00.089 --> 00:05:01.791
  • I don't feel him.
  • 00:05:01.791 --> 00:05:03.159
  • I can't smell him.
  • 00:05:03.159 --> 00:05:04.494
  • I can't taste him.
  • 00:05:04.494 --> 00:05:05.862
  • I can't touch him.
  • 00:05:05.862 --> 00:05:07.196
  • I can't hear him."
  • 00:05:07.196 --> 00:05:08.564
  • I want you to know something.
  • 00:05:08.564 --> 00:05:09.899
  • He hears you.
  • 00:05:09.899 --> 00:05:11.267
  • He's listening to you.
  • 00:05:11.267 --> 00:05:12.602
  • The first thing he said was don't be afraid.
  • 00:05:12.602 --> 00:05:13.936
  • The second thing he said was your prayer has been heard.
  • 00:05:13.936 --> 00:05:17.740
  • I want you to know something.
  • 00:05:17.740 --> 00:05:19.108
  • Your prayer has been heard.
  • 00:05:19.108 --> 00:05:20.543
  • Those prayers in the middle of the night, those prayers when
  • 00:05:20.543 --> 00:05:22.912
  • Nobody's watching, those prayers that nobody else heard,
  • 00:05:22.912 --> 00:05:25.748
  • God heard.
  • 00:05:25.748 --> 00:05:27.116
  • See, now we're striking oil here in god's word.
  • 00:05:27.116 --> 00:05:30.853
  • God is saying to you right now, don't be afraid.
  • 00:05:30.853 --> 00:05:34.524
  • He's heard you.
  • 00:05:34.524 --> 00:05:35.858
  • Don't be afraid.
  • 00:05:35.858 --> 00:05:37.226
  • He's heard your prayer.
  • 00:05:37.226 --> 00:05:38.561
  • Don't be afraid.
  • 00:05:38.561 --> 00:05:39.929
  • Your prayer has made it to heaven.
  • 00:05:39.929 --> 00:05:41.264
  • David said, "i love the lord because he hears me."
  • 00:05:41.264 --> 00:05:43.699
  • I want you to know something right now.
  • 00:05:43.699 --> 00:05:45.201
  • He hears you.
  • 00:05:45.201 --> 00:05:46.569
  • He's heard your prayers.
  • 00:05:46.569 --> 00:05:47.904
  • He heard zacharias's prayers.
  • 00:05:47.904 --> 00:05:49.238
  • Heaven seems silent for 400 years, but god was listening.
  • 00:05:49.238 --> 00:05:54.410
  • The voice might have been silent for 400 years, but god was
  • 00:05:54.410 --> 00:05:58.047
  • Still working.
  • 00:05:58.047 --> 00:05:59.415
  • You might feel like god, "where are you?
  • 00:05:59.415 --> 00:06:01.017
  • Where is god?
  • 00:06:01.017 --> 00:06:02.385
  • He's so far from me.
  • 00:06:02.385 --> 00:06:03.719
  • I'm not holy enough.
  • 00:06:03.719 --> 00:06:05.087
  • I'm not good enough.
  • 00:06:05.087 --> 00:06:06.422
  • I'm not godly enough."
  • 00:06:06.422 --> 00:06:07.757
  • But these people weren't even born again.
  • 00:06:07.757 --> 00:06:09.125
  • As far as man goes, though, they were at the top of the list, but
  • 00:06:09.125 --> 00:06:12.595
  • They hadn't heard from god for 400 years.
  • 00:06:12.595 --> 00:06:14.931
  • So don't be thinking that it's because of something you've done
  • 00:06:14.931 --> 00:06:18.768
  • Wrong that god hasn't been speaking to you.
  • 00:06:18.768 --> 00:06:21.270
  • God was listening to every prayer they prayed.
  • 00:06:21.337 --> 00:06:24.307
  • God has listened to every prayer you prayed.
  • 00:06:24.307 --> 00:06:26.509
  • Gabriel's word tells us, even when we don't hear god speaking,
  • 00:06:26.509 --> 00:06:31.047
  • God is still listening, and then he says to him, "you're gonna
  • 00:06:31.047 --> 00:06:34.884
  • Have a son, and you'll name him john."
  • 00:06:34.884 --> 00:06:37.954
  • But i like this word.
  • 00:06:37.954 --> 00:06:39.288
  • I like this verse.
  • 00:06:39.288 --> 00:06:40.656
  • The name john means god is gracious.
  • 00:06:40.656 --> 00:06:44.060
  • It's two words, really.
  • 00:06:44.060 --> 00:06:45.661
  • Two words are "god" and "gracious."
  • 00:06:45.661 --> 00:06:48.731
  • Those two words combine together: god is gracious.
  • 00:06:48.731 --> 00:06:52.768
  • What gabriel, the angel, is saying, "there's about to be an
  • 00:06:52.835 --> 00:06:55.805
  • Explosion of god's grace in this world, and john is going to pave
  • 00:06:55.805 --> 00:07:00.109
  • The way to an explosion of god's grace that's gonna come through
  • 00:07:00.109 --> 00:07:03.646
  • Jesus, god's mercy, god's forgiveness, god's power and
  • 00:07:03.646 --> 00:07:07.049
  • His love."
  • 00:07:07.049 --> 00:07:08.384
  • The angel says name him john.
  • 00:07:08.384 --> 00:07:11.454
  • Nobody had ever been named john before at that time.
  • 00:07:11.521 --> 00:07:14.857
  • Name him john, which means god is gracious.
  • 00:07:14.857 --> 00:07:17.727
  • Aren't you glad that he didn't tell him, "name him angry,
  • 00:07:17.793 --> 00:07:20.429
  • 'cause i'm dang angry"?
  • 00:07:20.429 --> 00:07:22.098
  • "name him disappointed, 'cause i'm disappointed in you.
  • 00:07:22.098 --> 00:07:25.001
  • Name him i've had enough, 'cause you humans are driving me nuts."
  • 00:07:25.001 --> 00:07:28.738
  • No, god didn't tell him to name him any of those things.
  • 00:07:28.738 --> 00:07:32.675
  • The name that god gave him was god is gracious.
  • 00:07:32.675 --> 00:07:35.778
  • That tells us everything we need to know about what kind of god
  • 00:07:35.778 --> 00:07:38.548
  • That we have.
  • 00:07:38.548 --> 00:07:39.882
  • Just when things seem to be going so bad in the world, god
  • 00:07:39.882 --> 00:07:44.220
  • Is gracious to us, and just when things seem to be going good now
  • 00:07:44.220 --> 00:07:48.758
  • For zacharias, all of a sudden in luke chapter 1, verse 18,
  • 00:07:48.758 --> 00:07:52.628
  • "zacharias said to the angel, 'how shall i know this
  • 00:07:52.628 --> 00:07:57.199
  • For certain?
  • 00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:58.534
  • For i'm an old man and my wife is advanced in years.'"
  • 00:07:58.534 --> 00:08:02.038
  • That might have sounded like a fancy way for him to say his
  • 00:08:02.038 --> 00:08:05.141
  • Wife was old, but it's never a good day when you describe your
  • 00:08:05.141 --> 00:08:08.377
  • Wife as old, or advanced in years.
  • 00:08:08.377 --> 00:08:10.680
  • Come on, somebody needs to say amen.
  • 00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:12.548
  • Oh my.
  • 00:08:12.548 --> 00:08:15.151
  • Boy, i wish zacharias wouldn't have gone there, but let's look
  • 00:08:15.217 --> 00:08:19.055
  • At what happens.
  • 00:08:19.055 --> 00:08:20.389
  • Look at what happens when zachariah starts limiting god
  • 00:08:20.389 --> 00:08:23.593
  • With his words.
  • 00:08:23.593 --> 00:08:24.961
  • Have you ever limited god with your words?
  • 00:08:24.961 --> 00:08:27.029
  • Sometimes our words create a fence or a ceiling or a wall
  • 00:08:27.029 --> 00:08:31.500
  • That prevents us from experiencing more.
  • 00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:34.503
  • He says, "how am i supposed to know that this is gonna happen?
  • 00:08:34.570 --> 00:08:37.139
  • I'm so old. i'm dying.
  • 00:08:37.139 --> 00:08:39.809
  • I'm this, i'm that."
  • 00:08:39.809 --> 00:08:41.177
  • Listen, i got just a word of wisdom for you.
  • 00:08:41.177 --> 00:08:43.212
  • If an angel comes to you any time from now and announces
  • 00:08:43.212 --> 00:08:47.516
  • Something that's never happened before, i wanna encourage you,
  • 00:08:47.516 --> 00:08:50.486
  • If that ever happens to you, don't ask questions.
  • 00:08:50.553 --> 00:08:53.889
  • Just say amen, right?
  • 00:08:53.889 --> 00:08:56.258
  • Questions sometimes get in the way of what god is trying to do
  • 00:08:56.258 --> 00:09:01.197
  • In our lives and what god is trying to do in the world.
  • 00:09:01.197 --> 00:09:04.033
  • So watch this.
  • 00:09:04.033 --> 00:09:05.368
  • It says, "so the angel answered and said to him--" it's a
  • 00:09:05.368 --> 00:09:07.970
  • Powerful word-- "i am gabriel, who stands in the presence of
  • 00:09:07.970 --> 00:09:11.240
  • God, and i've been sent to speak to you and to bring you this
  • 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:14.810
  • Good news," he said.
  • 00:09:14.810 --> 00:09:16.178
  • "and behold, you shall be silent and unable to speak until the
  • 00:09:16.178 --> 00:09:21.484
  • Day when these things take place, because you did not
  • 00:09:21.484 --> 00:09:24.920
  • Believe my words, which shall be fulfilled in their proper time."
  • 00:09:24.920 --> 00:09:30.159
  • Wow.
  • 00:09:30.226 --> 00:09:31.594
  • Kind of feels harsh, doesn't it?
  • 00:09:31.594 --> 00:09:33.629
  • Gabriel is like, "you didn't believe my words.
  • 00:09:33.629 --> 00:09:36.565
  • So guess what?
  • 00:09:36.565 --> 00:09:37.933
  • Shut up now.
  • 00:09:37.933 --> 00:09:39.268
  • You know what?
  • 00:09:39.268 --> 00:09:40.636
  • For the next nine months, i don't wanna hear a peep
  • 00:09:40.636 --> 00:09:42.104
  • Out of you.
  • 00:09:42.104 --> 00:09:43.439
  • Nobody's gonna hear a peep out of you."
  • 00:09:43.439 --> 00:09:44.840
  • God is trying to show us something in this experience
  • 00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.843
  • Zacharias is having.
  • 00:09:47.843 --> 00:09:49.178
  • It seems kind of harsh at first, but here's the takeaway.
  • 00:09:49.178 --> 00:09:52.415
  • God's grace, god's salvation, god's promises are going to
  • 00:09:52.415 --> 00:09:57.753
  • Happen through quietness and through trust.
  • 00:09:57.753 --> 00:10:02.458
  • What god wants to do in your life is gonna happen through
  • 00:10:02.525 --> 00:10:05.261
  • Quietness, through silence, through trust.
  • 00:10:05.261 --> 00:10:09.699
  • It's what i call the miracles of silence.
  • 00:10:09.699 --> 00:10:12.268
  • You see, god doesn't need our argument.
  • 00:10:12.268 --> 00:10:14.804
  • He doesn't need our opinion.
  • 00:10:14.804 --> 00:10:16.572
  • He doesn't need our two cents.
  • 00:10:16.572 --> 00:10:18.474
  • Well, we all wanna give it, don't we?
  • 00:10:18.474 --> 00:10:20.242
  • "how's this gonna happen?
  • 00:10:20.242 --> 00:10:21.577
  • I'm too old.
  • 00:10:21.577 --> 00:10:22.945
  • It's too late.
  • 00:10:22.945 --> 00:10:24.280
  • It'll never happen."
  • 00:10:24.280 --> 00:10:25.648
  • We all have our reasoning, but you see, god said, "silence, a
  • 00:10:25.648 --> 00:10:27.516
  • Miracle is gonna happen in silence.
  • 00:10:27.516 --> 00:10:29.752
  • Silence."
  • 00:10:29.752 --> 00:10:31.921
  • I know that when we pray, there's power.
  • 00:10:31.987 --> 00:10:35.357
  • I know when we speak god's word, there's power, but i think we
  • 00:10:35.357 --> 00:10:39.128
  • Don't realize how powerful silence is sometimes.
  • 00:10:39.128 --> 00:10:43.065
  • The miracle that god wants to do in zacharias's life, it doesn't
  • 00:10:43.132 --> 00:10:47.770
  • Come from zacharias's activity.
  • 00:10:47.770 --> 00:10:51.040
  • It doesn't come from him being busy or from what he can say.
  • 00:10:51.040 --> 00:10:55.277
  • God doesn't operate in busyness.
  • 00:10:55.277 --> 00:10:57.546
  • He will bring his word to pass, and i want you to think
  • 00:10:57.546 --> 00:11:00.816
  • About this.
  • 00:11:00.816 --> 00:11:02.351
  • The greatest moment in history was about to happen.
  • 00:11:02.418 --> 00:11:05.521
  • John was gonna be born.
  • 00:11:05.588 --> 00:11:07.456
  • Then jesus was gonna be born.
  • 00:11:07.456 --> 00:11:09.658
  • The greatest moment in history was about to happen when god
  • 00:11:09.658 --> 00:11:12.995
  • Spoke, and every living thing could only watch and listen.
  • 00:11:12.995 --> 00:11:17.166
  • When will we let god speak?
  • 00:11:18.768 --> 00:11:20.770
  • When will we silence our own mouths full of doubt?
  • 00:11:21.971 --> 00:11:26.575
  • When will when will we silence our voices of opposition and our
  • 00:11:26.575 --> 00:11:30.846
  • Voices of questioning, our voices of "it can't happen, and
  • 00:11:30.846 --> 00:11:35.651
  • It can't be"?
  • 00:11:35.651 --> 00:11:37.353
  • Miracles are gonna happen in our silence.
  • 00:11:37.353 --> 00:11:41.090
  • Will you let god speak tonight?
  • 00:11:41.157 --> 00:11:43.926
  • Will you silence your voice for a moment?
  • 00:11:43.993 --> 00:11:47.096
  • Can we silence our differences?
  • 00:11:47.163 --> 00:11:49.298
  • Can we silence our politics?
  • 00:11:49.298 --> 00:11:51.467
  • Can we silence our opinions and let god work in the silence?
  • 00:11:51.467 --> 00:11:57.339
  • Zachariah shows us how life has a way of beating the wonder out
  • 00:11:58.574 --> 00:12:03.012
  • Of christmas, beating the wonder out of life.
  • 00:12:03.012 --> 00:12:05.815
  • You know, life is supposed to be a life of wonder and amazement,
  • 00:12:05.815 --> 00:12:09.318
  • A life of being thrilled by the touch of god in our lives.
  • 00:12:09.318 --> 00:12:14.857
  • Zacharias, not to be confused with zacchaeus, who we've talked
  • 00:12:14.924 --> 00:12:19.061
  • About for many weeks, zacharias has lost his sense of wonder,
  • 00:12:19.061 --> 00:12:24.433
  • And now he's had to go silent.
  • 00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:26.869
  • Have you ever lost your sense of wonder?
  • 00:12:26.936 --> 00:12:29.004
  • Maybe you've lost your sense of the awe of god.
  • 00:12:29.004 --> 00:12:32.374
  • God wants to restore that to you, but he's gonna do it in
  • 00:12:32.374 --> 00:12:35.878
  • Your silent trust, not your loud activities.
  • 00:12:35.878 --> 00:12:39.081
  • He's gonna restore your wonder.
  • 00:12:39.081 --> 00:12:40.916
  • He's gonna restore your wow in your relationship with him.
  • 00:12:40.916 --> 00:12:45.254
  • That's something very powerful that is in this story, that even
  • 00:12:45.321 --> 00:12:49.792
  • When zacharias's faith falters, god's faith is enough.
  • 00:12:49.859 --> 00:12:55.497
  • Even when your faith falters, god's faith is enough.
  • 00:12:55.497 --> 00:13:00.302
  • Even when your faith in god and your faith in yourself falters,
  • 00:13:00.302 --> 00:13:03.639
  • God's faith in himself and in you is enough.
  • 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:09.745
  • The bible says when we ask god for something, don't ask in
  • 00:13:09.812 --> 00:13:13.249
  • Doubt, because you can't receive when you're doubting.
  • 00:13:13.249 --> 00:13:17.319
  • That's why god did a favor for zacharias by making him silent
  • 00:13:17.386 --> 00:13:23.025
  • So that zacharias could just receive this miracle quietly.
  • 00:13:23.092 --> 00:13:26.562
  • God wants you to receive a miracle in your quiet moment, in
  • 00:13:27.696 --> 00:13:34.036
  • The silence.
  • 00:13:34.103 --> 00:13:35.437
  • Let's quiet our doubts.
  • 00:13:35.437 --> 00:13:37.072
  • Let's quiet our fears, and let's trust god to move in our lives.
  • 00:13:37.072 --> 00:13:41.810
  • It's not about our activity that gets god to move.
  • 00:13:41.877 --> 00:13:44.647
  • It's about our trust, and silence creates an attitude and
  • 00:13:44.647 --> 00:13:49.485
  • An atmosphere of trust.
  • 00:13:49.485 --> 00:13:51.120
  • That's what's gonna happen in this season of your life and in
  • 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.290
  • The new year.
  • 00:13:54.290 --> 00:13:55.624
  • That's what's going to happen if we just trust in the silence.
  • 00:13:55.624 --> 00:13:59.628
  • Of course, there's always a place for us to speak god's
  • 00:14:00.796 --> 00:14:04.967
  • Word, god's preaching, and speaking god's word out of
  • 00:14:04.967 --> 00:14:08.337
  • Our mouths.
  • 00:14:08.337 --> 00:14:09.672
  • Of course, there's a moment for that, but there is also a moment
  • 00:14:09.672 --> 00:14:12.641
  • For silence.
  • 00:14:12.641 --> 00:14:14.877
  • It's not just not speaking.
  • 00:14:14.944 --> 00:14:17.513
  • It's an attitude.
  • 00:14:17.513 --> 00:14:19.315
  • It's a spirit of trust, and it's a truth to cherish that god's
  • 00:14:19.315 --> 00:14:24.720
  • Promises are bigger than our responses.
  • 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:26.989
  • God's promises are bigger than our mistakes.
  • 00:14:26.989 --> 00:14:29.858
  • God's promises are bigger than our words of doubt.
  • 00:14:29.858 --> 00:14:33.996
  • That's why we should silence are words of doubt and let god show
  • 00:14:33.996 --> 00:14:39.234
  • Himself strong in our silent trust.
  • 00:14:39.234 --> 00:14:42.438
  • I know sometimes you'll hear me preach about speaking god's
  • 00:14:42.438 --> 00:14:45.841
  • Word, and we must, and there are times for that, but god also
  • 00:14:45.841 --> 00:14:50.779
  • Wants us to believe that his miracle power is at work when
  • 00:14:50.779 --> 00:14:55.184
  • We're not saying anything, when we're not hearing anything but
  • 00:14:55.184 --> 00:14:59.655
  • When we're trusting in silence.
  • 00:14:59.655 --> 00:15:01.690
  • How many times have we doubted god's promises?
  • 00:15:01.690 --> 00:15:05.294
  • How many times have we fallen short?
  • 00:15:05.294 --> 00:15:07.496
  • How many times have we chosen our way rather than god's?
  • 00:15:07.496 --> 00:15:10.733
  • How many times have we known the right thing to do and not
  • 00:15:10.733 --> 00:15:14.236
  • Done it?
  • 00:15:14.236 --> 00:15:15.571
  • Countless times is the answer, in case you're keeping
  • 00:15:15.571 --> 00:15:17.439
  • Score, gang.
  • 00:15:17.439 --> 00:15:18.807
  • Countless times.
  • 00:15:18.807 --> 00:15:20.142
  • But still god loves us, and still god uses us, and still god
  • 00:15:20.142 --> 00:15:26.348
  • Promises us a place in his glory.
  • 00:15:26.415 --> 00:15:29.084
  • Yes, god's grace is truly bigger than our failures.
  • 00:15:29.151 --> 00:15:32.388
  • God is still at work.
  • 00:15:32.388 --> 00:15:35.057
  • God's saying, "you don't do the talking.
  • 00:15:35.124 --> 00:15:37.960
  • I'm gonna do the talking," and he brings jesus to the earth.
  • 00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:41.630
  • The world is silent so that jesus can speak.
  • 00:15:41.630 --> 00:15:45.901
  • Man will be silent so that god can be heard.
  • 00:15:45.968 --> 00:15:50.806
  • This is the beauty of zacharias in this story.
  • 00:15:50.873 --> 00:15:54.643
  • What will you and i do in the silence?
  • 00:15:54.710 --> 00:15:57.379
  • What will we do when things seem dark?
  • 00:15:57.379 --> 00:16:00.883
  • That's the whole beauty of this moment, that's in the moments of
  • 00:16:00.949 --> 00:16:04.920
  • Darkness that god conducts his most stunning performances, that
  • 00:16:04.920 --> 00:16:09.224
  • God in his grace doesn't need us to make it happen.
  • 00:16:09.224 --> 00:16:13.228
  • Just trust and believe that even in our silence, god is working,
  • 00:16:13.295 --> 00:16:17.199
  • God is moving, god's rearranging things.
  • 00:16:17.199 --> 00:16:20.836
  • Right now, god's fixing things in your life, god's restoring
  • 00:16:20.836 --> 00:16:24.239
  • Things, god's getting you ready for the next season, the best
  • 00:16:24.239 --> 00:16:27.142
  • Days of your life, but it doesn't happen through a flurry
  • 00:16:27.142 --> 00:16:30.579
  • Of activities that we do to get god to respond to us or to get
  • 00:16:30.579 --> 00:16:35.117
  • God to move.
  • 00:16:35.117 --> 00:16:36.452
  • He's already moved, he's already done it, he's already provided
  • 00:16:36.452 --> 00:16:38.921
  • It, and now he's waiting for us to simply be silent for a moment
  • 00:16:38.921 --> 00:16:44.326
  • And trust him.
  • 00:16:44.326 --> 00:16:45.694
  • You see, what i love about worshiping god is the moments
  • 00:16:46.862 --> 00:16:49.465
  • Of silence.
  • 00:16:49.465 --> 00:16:51.033
  • What i love about the season that we're in is we're learning
  • 00:16:51.100 --> 00:16:57.039
  • That intimacy with jesus is more than just telling god what we
  • 00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:01.710
  • Want or need, but it's really listening and leaning in to
  • 00:17:01.710 --> 00:17:05.747
  • What's on his heart, leaning into his love for souls to hear
  • 00:17:05.747 --> 00:17:10.619
  • And feel his heartbeat, his love for souls, his love for the
  • 00:17:10.619 --> 00:17:13.589
  • Church, his love for the poor, but the silent moments is when i
  • 00:17:13.589 --> 00:17:18.894
  • Have some of the greatest moments with god.
  • 00:17:18.894 --> 00:17:22.231
  • Sometimes it's not just the moments of singing.
  • 00:17:22.231 --> 00:17:25.067
  • Sometimes it's the moments of silence.
  • 00:17:25.067 --> 00:17:26.969
  • I want you to take a moment right now with me in this quiet
  • 00:17:28.137 --> 00:17:31.740
  • Time together.
  • 00:17:31.740 --> 00:17:34.276
  • I want to take this moment, and i want you to see what happens.
  • 00:17:34.343 --> 00:17:37.813
  • Sometimes we're afraid of silence.
  • 00:17:39.681 --> 00:17:43.452
  • Please don't be, because zacharias teaches us something
  • 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:47.623
  • Here that is miraculous, that when our mouths are filled with
  • 00:17:47.623 --> 00:17:52.861
  • Doubt and worry and complaining and negativity, god is gonna
  • 00:17:52.861 --> 00:17:56.932
  • Cancel out the negative things in our lives until we come to a
  • 00:17:56.932 --> 00:18:01.603
  • Place where we speak as he speaks.
  • 00:18:01.603 --> 00:18:05.774
  • I want you to know, right now, god is canceling out all the
  • 00:18:05.841 --> 00:18:10.179
  • Negative harvests that were coming your way.
  • 00:18:10.179 --> 00:18:12.614
  • God is canceling out all the negative harvests that were
  • 00:18:13.782 --> 00:18:16.318
  • Coming my way.
  • 00:18:16.318 --> 00:18:17.653
  • God's canceling out the bad seeds that have been sown in
  • 00:18:17.653 --> 00:18:20.689
  • Your life by others, the bad seeds that even you've sown in
  • 00:18:20.689 --> 00:18:23.625
  • Your life or i've sown in mine.
  • 00:18:23.625 --> 00:18:25.694
  • What a gift that god would silent zacharias so that he
  • 00:18:25.761 --> 00:18:29.431
  • Could do the talking, so that god could do the talking, so
  • 00:18:29.431 --> 00:18:33.001
  • That zacharias, with his words, could not destroy or defeat or
  • 00:18:33.001 --> 00:18:37.206
  • Get in the way of god's plan, that god proves that his plan
  • 00:18:37.206 --> 00:18:41.610
  • Can come to pass if we just trust him.
  • 00:18:41.610 --> 00:18:44.746
  • God's quiet in his work.
  • 00:18:44.813 --> 00:18:46.548
  • It may seem like he's quiet in your mind, but he he knows how
  • 00:18:46.548 --> 00:18:50.819
  • To work in silence.
  • 00:18:50.819 --> 00:18:52.187
  • He knows how to pull it all together when-- while we're
  • 00:18:52.187 --> 00:18:56.258
  • Silent, while we're trusting, and while we're waiting for him
  • 00:18:56.258 --> 00:18:59.528
  • To show up.
  • 00:18:59.528 --> 00:19:00.896
  • You know, when jesus comes to this earth 2,000 years ago,
  • 00:19:00.896 --> 00:19:03.699
  • There wasn't anything you did to make that happen.
  • 00:19:03.699 --> 00:19:05.934
  • It wasn't anything i did to bring it to pass.
  • 00:19:05.934 --> 00:19:08.237
  • He did it because he was good and ready to do it, and i'm
  • 00:19:08.237 --> 00:19:12.007
  • Trusting now in the silence.
  • 00:19:12.007 --> 00:19:13.408
  • I'm not saying that there aren't places for us and moments for us
  • 00:19:13.408 --> 00:19:15.944
  • To speak god's word, of course, to pray powerful prayers, of
  • 00:19:15.944 --> 00:19:19.214
  • Course, but don't underestimate the times when you feel like god
  • 00:19:19.214 --> 00:19:23.485
  • Is being quiet and that you can barely speak, 'cause guess what?
  • 00:19:23.485 --> 00:19:27.589
  • He's building something better.
  • 00:19:27.589 --> 00:19:28.924
  • He's making you better in the quiet, in the hidden places of
  • 00:19:28.924 --> 00:19:32.361
  • Darkness as it says in 1 kings chapter 6, verse 7, and the
  • 00:19:32.361 --> 00:19:37.432
  • Temple, when it was being built, was built with stone, finished
  • 00:19:37.432 --> 00:19:41.136
  • At the quarry.
  • 00:19:41.136 --> 00:19:42.471
  • That means underground, under the earth so that no hammer or
  • 00:19:42.471 --> 00:19:46.074
  • Chisel or any iron tool was heard in the temple while it was
  • 00:19:46.074 --> 00:19:50.279
  • Being built.
  • 00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:51.613
  • It all happened underneath.
  • 00:19:51.613 --> 00:19:52.981
  • You couldn't hear it in the temple, but it was
  • 00:19:52.981 --> 00:19:54.316
  • Happening underneath.
  • 00:19:54.316 --> 00:19:55.651
  • You can't hear it in your life right now, but it's happening
  • 00:19:55.651 --> 00:19:57.286
  • Behind the scenes.
  • 00:19:57.286 --> 00:19:58.620
  • You can't hear or feel or see god moving in your life, but
  • 00:19:58.620 --> 00:20:00.422
  • He's doing it invisibly right now.
  • 00:20:00.422 --> 00:20:02.557
  • If you feel like heaven's been silent to you, you feel like
  • 00:20:02.557 --> 00:20:05.294
  • Your words are bouncing off the walls and not coming to pass, be
  • 00:20:05.294 --> 00:20:08.463
  • At peace.
  • 00:20:08.463 --> 00:20:09.798
  • Be still and know that he is god.
  • 00:20:09.798 --> 00:20:12.167
  • Be still and trust.
  • 00:20:12.167 --> 00:20:14.870
  • It means let go, relax, and let god fulfill his promise without
  • 00:20:14.870 --> 00:20:19.841
  • Your help.
  • 00:20:19.841 --> 00:20:21.209
  • The hurrying, the worrying, the scurrying, the flurrying of
  • 00:20:21.209 --> 00:20:24.780
  • Activities, none of that makes it happen.
  • 00:20:24.780 --> 00:20:28.283
  • It happens because god said it's gonna happen, because jesus paid
  • 00:20:29.518 --> 00:20:33.889
  • For it to happen, and like god told us in jeremiah 33 in the
  • 00:20:33.889 --> 00:20:38.226
  • Message bible, "you'll go back to your old work of planting
  • 00:20:38.226 --> 00:20:42.397
  • Vineyards on the samaritan hillsides.
  • 00:20:42.397 --> 00:20:44.299
  • You'll sit back and enjoy the fruit-- oh, how you'll enjoy
  • 00:20:44.299 --> 00:20:48.503
  • Those harvests!"
  • 00:20:48.503 --> 00:20:50.439
  • 'cause you'll sit back and trust.
  • 00:20:50.505 --> 00:20:53.575
  • I declare and prophesy over you,
  • 00:20:53.642 --> 00:20:55.277
  • You will sit back and you will
  • 00:20:55.277 --> 00:20:57.579
  • See the salvation of your god.
  • 00:20:57.579 --> 00:21:00.015
  • You will see the harvest of the good and all that god has
  • 00:21:00.015 --> 00:21:02.984
  • Planned for your life.
  • 00:21:02.984 --> 00:21:04.319
  • I declare and prophesy over you, god has silenced your bad seeds,
  • 00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:08.123
  • God has silenced the bad seeds that have been sown in your
  • 00:21:08.123 --> 00:21:10.959
  • Life, god has silenced the bad harvest, god has silenced
  • 00:21:10.959 --> 00:21:14.129
  • The accused.
  • 00:21:14.129 --> 00:21:15.497
  • He has silenced the haters, he has silenced the fear, he has
  • 00:21:15.497 --> 00:21:18.166
  • Silenced the worry, he has silenced your past, he has
  • 00:21:18.166 --> 00:21:20.969
  • Silenced all those weapons formed against you that cannot
  • 00:21:20.969 --> 00:21:24.272
  • And will not prosper, and there is an unleashing of heaven's
  • 00:21:24.272 --> 00:21:27.676
  • Harvest in your life, and all that god said he would do.
  • 00:21:27.676 --> 00:21:31.646
  • All you have to do is say, i believe it 'cause you know he's
  • 00:21:31.713 --> 00:21:35.016
  • Well able to do exceeding abundantly above and beyond all
  • 00:21:35.016 --> 00:21:37.452
  • That we can imagine, and if you can't even imagine anything
  • 00:21:37.452 --> 00:21:41.757
  • Right now, god is still able to do something out of nothing in
  • 00:21:41.757 --> 00:21:45.660
  • Your life and i declare it is happening now, in jesus's name.
  • 00:21:45.660 --> 00:21:49.664
  • Listen to me.
  • 00:21:49.664 --> 00:21:51.266
  • You didn't hear the gospel because of something you did.
  • 00:21:51.333 --> 00:21:55.904
  • You heard it in a moment when you were finally silent and
  • 00:21:57.105 --> 00:22:00.642
  • Could hear it and listen.
  • 00:22:00.642 --> 00:22:02.010
  • Now, if you're watching right now and you've never accepted
  • 00:22:03.245 --> 00:22:05.313
  • Jesus christ as your savior and lord, will you pray with me
  • 00:22:05.313 --> 00:22:07.916
  • Right now?
  • 00:22:07.916 --> 00:22:09.584
  • And for all of you, i'm prophesying over you.
  • 00:22:09.651 --> 00:22:12.721
  • The invisible power of god is working.
  • 00:22:12.788 --> 00:22:15.424
  • Don't be afraid.
  • 00:22:15.424 --> 00:22:17.793
  • God has heard your prayers.
  • 00:22:17.859 --> 00:22:19.861
  • For those of you that have never known jesus yet, never been sure
  • 00:22:21.096 --> 00:22:24.366
  • You're going to heaven when you die, pray this, take a moment
  • 00:22:24.366 --> 00:22:26.668
  • And pray this with me 'cause you will see the kingdom of god, the
  • 00:22:26.668 --> 00:22:29.938
  • Bible says, and you will enter the kingdom of god when you're
  • 00:22:29.938 --> 00:22:32.174
  • Born again.
  • 00:22:32.174 --> 00:22:33.775
  • Pray this right now.
  • 00:22:33.842 --> 00:22:35.177
  • Heavenly father-- just say that out loud-- i invite jesus into
  • 00:22:35.177 --> 00:22:38.180
  • My life as my savior and lord.
  • 00:22:38.180 --> 00:22:41.183
  • I believe jesus died for my sins and rose from the dead.
  • 00:22:41.183 --> 00:22:44.820
  • I believe the blood of jesus has cleansed me from all my sin.
  • 00:22:44.886 --> 00:22:47.923
  • From this moment forward, i'm a child of god.
  • 00:22:47.923 --> 00:22:50.826
  • Say that.
  • 00:22:52.260 --> 00:22:53.628
  • From this moment forward, i'm a child of god.
  • 00:22:53.628 --> 00:22:55.997
  • In jesus's name, amen.
  • 00:22:55.997 --> 00:22:58.800
  • Now, if you prayed that prayer, welcome to the family.
  • 00:22:58.800 --> 00:23:01.403

  • Let me help you grow in your relationship with god by
