After Jesus had said this, He went on ahead, going up to
Jerusalem. As He approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount
of Olives, He sent two of His disciples, saying to them, "Go to the village
ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one
has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, 'why are you
untying it?' tell him, The Lord needs it."
Salvation Wednesday, my dear brothers and sisters. Oh, how I
love Salvation Wednesday, and folks, Salvation through Jesus Christ, which is the
ONLY WAY TO HAVE SALVATION... amen. Today is the day we pray for those who are
unsaved that they come to Jesus and also we pray for God to use those of us who
are saved to get the word to the lost. Did you know that there are more
people lost who can find their way home daily to their earthly home than those
who get lost in the woods, etc. Folks, the job of we who are saved is to get
the word to the lost so they can not just find their way home to their earthly
home, but know their way home to their forever home in heaven so as to prevent
them from going to their forever home in hell. Also keep praying for Leslie
and her son. Leslie is born again, her son is trying hard to walk with Satan. New in today, prayers for Lonewolf (Native American) who has had breast surgery
for cancer. Please keep praying for Allison and if you did not read yesterday's
message, please do it... Also pray for the others on our list. Prayer next
today.

Teacher of the word and one fine Electrician.
Dear Father in Heaven, to start Salvation Wednesday and to
talk to others about Salvation, we all need to be clean, so Lord, I pray today
that you will forgive me of my sins and help me to repent of them and then after
that please help me to work in your fields of harvest every day, not just on what
we call Salvation Wednesday. Lord, lead us to the unsaved and help us to lead
them to your feet to be saved. Also, Lord, we pray again for Allison that she is
healed of cancer as she puts total faith in Your healing hand. Also, Lord,
please answer our other requests, and as always, Lord, thy will be done. In
Jesus' Name, Amen.
March 28: The Triumphal Entry: Luke 19:28 - After Jesus had
said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 19 As He approached
Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His
disciples, saying to them, 30 "Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter
it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and
bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, 'why are you untying it?' tell him, The
Lord needs it."
Ok, brothers and sisters, today we are going to start looking at
the events leading up to what we call Palm Sunday. It was a wonderful day in
the life of Jesus on that day we call Palm Sunday. Let's get started by looking
into the scripture of today. Bethphage and Bethany were little villages near
Jerusalem, which was the home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus. As Jesus approached
Jerusalem He sent two of His disciples ahead into a "village". We do not know
which of the little towns that the disciples went to, but my footnotes tell me
more than likely it was Bethphage. The names of the towns are not the
important part, it was what happened. So these two disciples went ahead as
ordered to find this Donkey Colt that was never ridden and they were to untie it
and bring it to Jesus. If someone sees them and questions them they are to say,
the Lord needs it. Wait a minute, did Jesus just send two of His disciples
ahead to "steal" a donkey colt? I need to check this out a tad, hold on a
minute. Ok, of course He did not sent them to steal it, for it was put there
in place by God so it would be ready for this ride in. But let me see, today I
am going to go down to a farm, walk in and get a donkey and bring it out saying
the Lord needs it. I would get shot and/or arrested, and why, because, and
listen to me on this one, because, are you ready for this answer? Because the
Lord did not send me to get it. I would be acting on my own. We always
should do what the Lord asks us to do, and be sure the Lord will not ever ask
you to break the laws and/or the commandments.
Ok, why did He want that colt that was never ridden, and just
why a Donkey Colt? Let's talk first about a donkey. Have you ever seen a
donkey and the cross on their back? Yes, all donkeys have a cross on their
back... Now why the colt that was never ridden? We'll about that... SEE
YOU TOMORROW... When we find out why a never ridden colt and more about Jesus' entry into Jerusalem...
Now go forth and share your blessings and remember to keep
praying for those on the list and remember please Allison...
Love Ya. Pastor Dan.
