Why did God silence the mouth of Zachariah

The Angel Gabriel tells the priest Zachariah in Luke 1:18-19 that he is going to have a son. But Zachariah demanded proof, and as a result, God took Zachariah's voice and fulfilled the prophecy. The message makes it clear that Zachariah is punished for his lack of faith.

This is similar to Paul's situation. He couldn't see anything. Jesus temporarily blinded him so that he could see the truth (Act 9: 9). Nebuchadnezzar, too, went insane until he humbled himself (Daniel 4: 28-34). That was the case with Zechariah. He questioned the truth, so he was silenced until he believed the prophesy, and after that, he was allowed to speak again.

Lack of belief in God's things is a terrible and dangerous thing to have. We are unable to enjoy a relationship with God if we do not believe in the things of God. Unbelief also prevents us from receiving God's promises in our lives.

Most importantly, if you don't believe, you won't be able to receive the Lord's salvation, which will keep you from perishing. Our tongue has the ability to bring light and darkness into our lives. In any case, we should be cautious about speaking.

We reach the conclusion that the punishment is intended to put an end to the disbelief and that it is lifted once the disbelief has passed. This has the added benefit of attesting to the truth. Because he was able to speak immediately after saying, "His name is John". A direct correlation that speaks to the validity of Gabriel's vision. When God asks us to do something, we should be humble and willing vessels.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against

How do we allow our past to not define us  

Even if you don't have everything together, rest certain that God sees you as his priceless possession. Your past does not define who you are today. In actuality, from a spiritual viewpoint, who you are today is not determined by your past. It might affect your thoughts, but it doesn't make you who you are. God proclaims our true identity: that we are made in His likeness and in His image, reflecting both the male and female facets of God (according to Genesis 1:26-27).
