| 0:00.0 | Hello there, my friends, and Merry Christmas. Welcome back to the morning mindset. We are |
| 0:10.3 | traveling through the scriptures to see the Christmas story played out before us in chronological |
| 0:14.9 | order. Today we will be looking again at the prophecy of Zechari, what we find in the Gospel of Luke chapter 1, |
| 0:22.4 | verses 76 through 79. Get out your Bibles. We'll be looking at that in just a moment. |
| 0:27.6 | Before we move on, though, I want to remind you coming up January 1st, I'll be launching another |
| 0:32.8 | podcast called The Evening Mindset. This is an opportunity for you to finish your day with the Word of God |

| 0:45.6 | You can find out how to subscribe even now on Apple Podcasts. |

| 1:25.0 | Okay, friends, just to recap very quickly, Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, |
| 1:30.3 | when his mouth was opened after being disciplined by God where he could not speak for nine months, |

| 1:41.7 | speaking through this man in a miraculous way. And here in verse 76, |
