BLESSED! Part Four: Gabriel & Zechariah

Gabriel come from the Throne of Heaven with a message for Zechariah who is next to the Alter of Incense in the Holy Place

​The Holy Queen of Heaven, Mother Mary, Dear Sweet Ark of the Covenant, Pillar of David and Mother of Saints, Stalwart Pillar of Ivory and Mother of Her Suffering Son, The Lord Jesus our Savior,   said, "Bob, Be Bold!"

Now He's in trouble you say? No,

The Lord is calling me and all of us to His Table and those who come and receive from Him will see His face and hear His voice... and there is more... "Behold the Love of God!'

Mary filled with Grace and the Son of All Glory chooses by God's grace and mercy to share, like Angels, or like my own Mom or a prudent family member or friend wherever and whenever, as directed by the Lord. 

God gives us impulses and leadings by His Spirit, through the Scriptures but after 40 years, or 80 years if you include Camille Communication from Heaven happens more through Communion at Jesus' Table.

Luke 1:5-23
Mary's Older Cousin Elizabeth and Her Husband the Priest,
Zechariah

In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. 

​6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly. 7 But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old.

8 Once when Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God, 9 he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 10 And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside.

11 Then an angel of the Lord (Gabriel) appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. 12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. 

GABRIEL CONFIRMS THE MIRACLE
of ELIZABETH'S CONCEPTION

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 call him John. 

14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, 15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and

​He will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born. 

​16 He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

18 Zechariah asked the angel, “How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.”

19 The angel said to him, 

“I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. 

20 And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.”

21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple. 

22 When he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision in the temple, for he kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak.

23 When his time of service was completed, he returned home. 

​24 After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. 

25 “The Lord has done this for me,” she said. “In these days he has shown His favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”

​Below are Messianic Prophecies of another Man of God, the Prophet Zechariah!
​Matthew 23:35

There is something going on right now. The Lord sees ALL His children as unique. special and created within His love, plan and purpose. He is excited, and passionate about this. We should be too!

Mary's simple phrase to me seems more like Motherly advice and is spoken in the kindness of an all merciful, ever interceding Queen who wants to see the Bride of her Son prepared for the wedding feast; without spot, wrinkle or blemish.

Maybe my encounters, like a billion others, have some sort of small important purpose in the overall plan of God. Jesus builds His Kingdom and will shape these living stones together as a habitation for His Glory. "Living Stones!"

(Walking in His faithfulness, believing, before you and Him and the rest of the Church. Lord, have mercy on me and friends, please pray for me. I know Jesus is right there alongside of Mother Mary! 

CommunionFire is real and for all who respond to Jesus invitation to "Come!"
​He is waiting for you too!

Luke 1:57-66
​Elizabeth Gives Birth
​to John The Baptist Six Months Before Christmas.

57 When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son. 58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy.

59 On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah,60 but his mother spoke up and said, “No! He is to be called John.”
61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who has that name.”
62 Then they made signs to his father, to find out what he would like to name the child.  63He asked for a writing tablet, and to everyone’s astonishment he wrote, “His name is John.”  64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free, and he began to speak, praising God. 

65 All the neighbors were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea people were talking about all these things. 66 Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, “What then is this child going to be?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.

Luke 1:67-80
​Zechariah’s Prophetic Song

67 John's father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:

68 “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because

He has come to His people and redeemed them.

He Prophesies about Jesus:

69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David

70 (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago), 71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us 

72 to show mercy to our ancestors and to remember his holy covenant, 

73 the oath he swore to our father Abraham: 

74 to rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve him without fear 

75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.


He Then Prophesies About John, ​His Son, God's Prophet Who Jesus Later Calls the Greatest of All Prophets

76 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,  

77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, 

78 because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven 

79 to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”

80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit ; and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.
