Tuesday: The Journey 10

Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayers have been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John.

Good Schools Day morning, my dear brothers and sisters. It is a wonderful morning full of blessings to behold. The best blessing I have had so far this morning is that God woke me to serve Him for another day. God is good. Please today pray for the family of Jere and Diane Heinze in the passing of Diane's mother. Also pray for the family of Marshall who went home to be with our Lord. And of course please pray for our schools. Did you hear, a bell choir was told they could not play at the CAPITAL CITY MALL, as they play real Christmas music? No more of the good Christian Christmas music. Folks, please shop at another mall and let this one ROT. Folks, it is time we Christians spend our dollars where our Lord Jesus is welcome. Just the other day I was called and asked about doing some mall Santa work... I ask, can I tell the kids about Jesus? "No you cannot." Then there is no sense going on with the talking about it. Sad to see this. THE ONLY REASON WE HAVE CHRISTMAS IS DUE TO THE BIRTH OF JESUS... and now they don't want His name mentioned... Their loss baby, their loss.

The Journey 10: Luke 1:11 - Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the ride side of the altar of incense. 12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. 13 But the angel said to him: "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; Your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John. (NIV)

I am now going forth with the coming of John the Baptist and also the Birth of Jesus. I did have much more journey in the old testament and will come back to it later. Here is an example of Zechariah and Elizabeth getting up in years and yet they are still praying for a child. Once again we see where God has heard the prayers and has answered them by granting their request of having a child. Again, it was because of the faith of old Zack and his wife who was barren and getting up in years. Zechariah even asked Gabriel how can he be sure as he was getting old and his wife was also up in years. Folks, God is good, and works out all of these things. Now we will look in on John later as he grows in years and starts his ministry of baptizing people, even Jesus.

Dear Father in Heaven, how wonderful you are to answer our prayers. You hear them and you answer them and we keep praying that when You answer our prayers it is by Your will and not ours, for Your will for us is so much better for us than even our own will. Lord be with the Heinze family and with Marshall's family in their time of loss. And Lord, it is schools days on the line and we want You back in our schools, bless each one who enters the schools and Lord, keep those doors open for us this year at Downey in the City and Lawnton and Rutherford in Central Dauphin District. Lord, let us get the message to these kids. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Now go forth and share your blessings and watch how God replaces them over and over again...
Love ya, dan.
