Holy Distruptions #2 – God’s Timing & Our Calling

Holy Disruptions #2 – God’s Timing & Our Calling      

Pastor Blake Hanson 5.25.25 

Luke 1:76–77 (NLT)

76“And you, my little son, will be called the prophet of the Most High, because you will prepare the way for the Lord. 

77 You will tell his people how to find salvation through forgiveness of their sins.

God’s timing often disrupts our , but directs us to our calling. 

A convenient life never a called life. 

WHEN IT COMES TO GOD’S TIMING AND OUR CALL… 

Luke 1:57–58 (NLT)

57 When it was time for Elizabeth’s baby to be born, she gave birth to a son. 

58 And when her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had been very merciful to her, everyone rejoiced with her.

1.  Stop the wait and start what is being prepared for you. 

Luke 1:6 (NLT)

6 Zechariah and Elizabeth were righteous in God’s eyes, careful to obey all of the Lord’s commandments and regulations.

2. Choose over convention. 

Luke 1:59–63 (NLT)

59 When the baby was eight days old, they all came for the circumcision ceremony They wanted to name him Zechariah, after his father. 

60 But Elizabeth said, “No! His name is John!” 

61 “What?” they exclaimed. “There is no one in all your family by that name.” 

62 So they used gestures to ask the baby’s father what he wanted to name him. 

63 He motioned for a writing tablet, and to everyone’s surprise he wrote, “His name is John.”

John 16:8 (NLT)

8 And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment.

3.  Allow God to your silent seasons. 

Luke 1:64–66 (NLT)

64 Instantly Zechariah could speak again, and he began praising God. 

65 Awe fell upon the whole neighborhood, and the news of what had happened spread throughout the Judean hills. 

66 Everyone who heard about it reflected on these events and asked, “What will this child turn out to be?” For the hand of the Lord was surely upon him in a special way.

4.  Make your words when God opens the door. 

Psalm 13:6 (NLT)

6I will sing to the Lord because he is good to me.

Luke 1:68–80 (NLT)

68 “Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has visited and redeemed his people. 

69 He has sent us a mighty Savior from the royal line of his servant David, 

70 just as he promised through his holy prophets long ago. 

71 Now we will be saved from our enemies and from all who hate us. 

72 He has been merciful to our ancestors by remembering his sacred covenant— 

73 the covenant he swore with an oath to our ancestor Abraham. 

74 We have been rescued from our enemies so we can serve God without fear, 

75 in holiness and righteousness for as long as we live. 

76 “And you, my little son, will be called the prophet of the Most High, because you will prepare the way for the Lord. 

77 You will tell his people how to find salvation through forgiveness of their sins. 

78 Because of God’s tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us, 

79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide us to the path of peace.” 

80 John grew up and became strong in spirit. And he lived in the wilderness until he began his public ministry to Israel.
