Zacharias’s Prayer

The Prayer Room Podcast

In this episode, we will experience and also learn about Zacharias and his prayer. Zacharias was John the Baptist’s father, a priest from the division of Abijah, and him and his wife Elizabeth were childless, Elizabeth was barren and they were advanced in age. In the Holy Scriptures we come to know that they were righteous, approved in the sight of God, walking blameless in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord. We come to learn in the Holy Scriptures that Zacharias was performing his priestly duties in the temple when he encountered the angel Gabriel. This encounter left him mute because he could not believe that him and his wife who were advanced in age would conceive and have a son, as captured in scripture. After Zacharias’s service in the temple he returns home mute, his wife Elizabeth conceives in her old age and have a son, Zacharias is then enabled to speak and he prays!
