2nd An Angel Named Gabriel Journeying to Jerusalem to speak a Word from God after 400 Years of Silence! Verse 11

Malachi 4:5 Behold I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. 6 He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse.

This Word is A Powerful Answer From a Long Distant, Long Ago Prayer!

Who will John be and What Will He Do? 14-17

3 Things: 1) God Answers Prayer in Amazingly out of this world ways! So Ask God for Amazing Things!
2) The World is Dark and Spiritually Deaf, And most in the Church are Mute when it comes to the Gospel.
3) John’s Life Is Your Life! A Life that is to point to Jesus!

Here’s Another Idea! You can still have Faith that Reckons You Righteous and still struggle with Unbelief.
