And behold, you shall be silent and not able to speak until the day that these things shall be performed, because you did not believe my words which shall be fulfilled in their time. (Luke 1:20). This is a dangerous sin for all the followers of Living GOD Christ that despite being just priest Zacharias faced the consequences from a just God. We often ignore the gentle, melodious voice of living God which we hear in our heart. Job explained For God speaks once, yea, twice, but not one takes notice. In a dream, a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men; while they slumber on the bed; then He opens the ear of men and seals their teaching, so that He may turn man from his act, that He might hide pride from man. (Job 33:14-17). This voice has been explained by King Solomon in book of Proverbs where it is written but whoever listens to me (HOLY SPIRIT) shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. (Proverbs 1:33). For the priest's lips should guard knowledge, and they should seek the Law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of Jehovah of Hosts. (Malachi 2:7). We all are priest as explained by Peter, but you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for possession, so that you might speak of the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvellous light; (1 Peter 2:9).But as per the new covenant of GRACE given to us thorough Jesus Christ, further told in Luke A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth the good. And an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth the evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. And why do you call Me Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say? (Luke 6:45-46). Christ directed us, but I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who despitefully use you. (Luke 6:27-28).
Previous verse thought appears to be Next to impossible in the present world, but not impossible. The word of GOD explains with GOD all things are possible. Walk in wisdom toward those on the outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech be always with grace, having been seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. (Colossians 4:5-6). Let us look on what is not walk in WISDOM? It has been explained by Paul, (For many are walking, of whom I have told you often and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ; whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, those who mind earthly things.) For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which also we are looking for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,
(Philippians 3:18-20). The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1:7)
Finally, Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. (Ephesians 6:24).
AMEN
