December 04, 2023: Yes, He Will!

"for he will be great in the eyes of the Lord..." (Luke 1:15, NLT)
 
Four times, the angel speaking to Zechariah uses the phrase, "he will”:

1. He will be great before the Lord.
   
2. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit.
   
3. He will turn many to the Lord.
4. He will go before the Lord and make ready a people.

If you are a father, this would be a fantastic prophetic word to receive about your son!

Zechariah has waited a long time for a child, and when this 'son of the promise' shows up, he is loaded with prophetic promises. Look at how the promises escalated before him. Your son will be great before the Lord. What a place to have your children live. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit. Not only will he live before the Lord, but he will also be filled with the Lord's presence. And here is what he will do: He will turn people to the Lord, and he himself will actually go before the Lord, preparing the people for Him.

How many 'he will(s)' has the Lord spoken over your life? They may not be as big as John the Baptists, but believe me, they count mightily in the Kingdom of God. I do not believe that anyone is born an accident. Every person born into this world comes with a God-given purpose. If we will live for God and be filled with His Spirit, we too will turn many to Christ, or at least prepare their hearts to receive Him.
