When the angel appeared to Zechariah & told him to name his unborn son "John", Zechariah contested. When he did, he lost his ability to speak.
When Elizabeth wanted to name her child John, the whole family looked to Zechariah to name him after himself. After all, John wasn’t a name in the family.
Zechariah couldn’t speak so he wrote, "His name is John." Immediately he was filled with the Holy Ghost & began to prophesy!
When we stop arguing with God & yield to His instruction, we too will be given a prophetic voice concerning our future!
