Tuesday: The Triumphal Entry 2

"Hosanna to the Son of David!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Hosanna in the Highest!"

Good Morning, my dear brothers and sisters, and welcome to schools day on Carry The Light Ministries message and prayer line. Also today please pray for a family who is having very, very serious problems including, but not limited to, some heavy threats on lives. Yes, police have been notified. We just need to ask God to handle this for us. Just so you know, I always withhold names on requests of this type. Please note that I do not mind getting phone calls from people needing prayer, food and/or other help. If we can help, we will. Our personal information will follow the message today. Please put this information on file.

Other prayer requests today for Pastor Charles Idler, healing from stroke; Pat Parvin, healing from stroke; Vicki, lots of health concerns, and also some personal problems, this young lady really needs lifted in prayer. Also for TJ for health reasons. Please also pray for me today. I will be going to the hospital to have some stones fished out. Seems I have some kidney stones that have lodged between my liver and onions, I mean my liver and bladder ... If all goes well, it should be outpatient surgery.

Triumphal Entry 2: Matthew 21 8/11 - 8 A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed shouted, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Hosanna in the Highest!" 10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, "Who is this?" 11 The crowds answered, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee." (NIV)

I often think of all the glory given to God one week and then just a very short time later Jesus was arrested, given a phony trial, beaten, robbed of even the few things He had, like His robe, He was spit on, and nailed to the cross. In one week, this man went from hero to goat, so to speak. Over the rest of this week, and then next week, I am asking God to plant in my mind how this might have gone. I will be using my Bible as my guide, but not writings from other writers, I am just going to God, to give it to me so that I might share it with you. I would like all of you to go into your Bibles and read the accounts from the Triumphal Entry through Easter, and ask God to give it also to you, or to open up my writings to You. Years ago, back before we had television in our home, my parents and my grandparents, when they were with us from time to time, would read the Bible. I would lay on the floor at their feet and ask God to open this in my mind. Back in those days, we had to use our minds to picture things on the radio, and when reading. Now as I have told you before, I am not one that is a good reader, I do not read and understand except that God has opened His word to me, so I am blessed. Again, I am asking God to put this in my mind, so I can sort of paint a picture for You ...

Tomorrow we will be going into Jerusalem with Jesus, we will be sometimes in the crowd, and other times we will be with Him as His disciples. And yes, I am going to ask Jesus if we can be in His sandals part of the time. So for now, let's pray about it.

Dear Father in Heaven, please, make us clean, clean us from our sins. And Lord, over these next two weeks, I am asking that we, in our minds, may walk with You, as in back in time, for we know it would be the same today as You never change. We, Lord, have changed, so place all of this on our minds so we might understand it and see it like it happened. Lord please be in our schools, with Your children in those schools, and of course, Lord, all those in the schools are Your children, regardless of their age. Lord I pray today for the family that is having problems, and indeed pray for all families that are having problems in their homes. Lord, I pray today for Vicki and her health and problems, please dear Lord, carry not just her problems, but carry her for a while. Lord, please heal Pastor Charles and also Pat from their stokes, and yes Lord, I put myself into Your hands today for healing. It would be nice if all the stones would escape before I got to the hospital, but I trust in all you do for me. Thanks for this line, and please lay the messages out for me. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Now go forth sharing your blessings and walking with Jesus day to day ... and knowing that Jesus loves you very, very much and longs to get nearer to you. Also know that I love you also... dan
