Dear Father in Heaven: I love You. Please, Lord, forgive me of my sins and help me walk each day with You. Please, Lord, heal those that we prayed for yesterday, and Lord, thanks for watching over them. Thanks, Lord, for this beautiful day which you have granted unto us. Lord Jesus, I appreciate that You have watched over me and my family and the folks on this line and the flocks You have given me to work with on this great earth. Now Lord, please help me with the message and then help me to get it dispatched. In Jesus' name, I give thanks and pray. Amen.
Brothers and sisters, it is Wednesday, and that means it is Salvation Wednesday on this line. I ask of you to go back to my writing of yesterday and read it over again, and I am talking about the steps to salvation through Jesus Christ. Please use that information to help you lead others to Jesus to be saved. Please remember that we cannot save anyone, we can only lead them in. Saving them is the work of Jesus. This is a great season to get people to come to Christ. I pray all pastors are preaching Salvation messages at this time of year when the C and E people show up in church. "C and E" people, my term for Christmas and Easter, for believe it or not, some folks are willing to give Jesus just two hours per year. As you know, you are always welcome to use what I write, but I will never push that on you and tell you if you use it you will get special blessings. Jesus is the one who issues the blessings, not me. Now onto the message, "The Entry."
Salvation Wednesday: April 9, 2014, The Entry (Day Three).
Luke 19:28 - After Jesus had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 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.'" (NIV)
There are just a couple of things I would like to point out from this scripture today. Remember I used most of this same scripture on Monday. I talked about the Donkey Colt and how it was never ridden. Today I want to point out how in this scripture Jesus is telling us that He, Jesus, is indeed our Lord God. First, and we will find out more about this tomorrow, how everything Jesus told His disciples was fact. I am talking about where the colt would be found and what to tell those who might question why they were taking the colt. No one but our Lord God would know these things and be able to see ahead, and since it was Jesus saying this to His disciples, that means to me Jesus is indeed our Lord God. Then of course we take a look at this verse.
Luke 19:31 - "If anyone asks you 'why are you untying it?' tell him, 'The Lord needs it.'" (NIV)
So we see Jesus is telling all, telling everyone, He is indeed Lord. And brothers and sisters, make no mistake about it. JESUS IS LORD!!! Can someone say AMEN? AMEN, and AMEN!
So now go forth, walk with Jesus, repent of your sins, and share those wonderful blessings that God has given to you. I love ya. And please share that love with others.

Tuesday 4/8/14 The Entry 2
Dear Father in Heaven: I love You very much. Please, dear Lord, forgive me of my sins and help me repent. Help me also to walk with You daily and live for You each day. Please put your arm around Linda and her family and comfort her. Also comfort Beverly. Lord, please place Your healing hand on Pam and touch her back. Your touch on Patsy, Burt, Barbara, Dolores, Gabby and her family, Vicki, the young man hit by a truck. Lord, please be with pastors as we are coming into Holy Week. Please be with us in Carry The Light Ministries as we have many services also. Lord, I am humbled that You would trust me to do work for You, and I want to tell You that I appreciate that trust and I am sorry I did not get started with it in my younger years. Please, Lord, now bless me with a message and help me to get it dispatched. Again, Lord, I love You, and thanks for a beautiful day. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Good evening, brothers and sisters. If you want to look back over a writing you might have missed, you may so so at www.carrythelight4jesus.blogspot.com where you will find all my writings posted. We could use some helpers this Saturday to help load out cars, pack potatoes, fill bread bags, etc. We need our helpers here between 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM. We start our distribution at 9:00 AM. This is a fun time. God is good. Amen. Now let me get to "The Entry."
Tuesday: April 8, 2014, The Entry (Day Two).
Revelation 3:20 - "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." (NIV)
Matthew 7:7 - "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." (NIV)
Brothers and sisters, I want to take a side trip today on "The Entry." As you might have expected I would be going forth with "The Entry" as in going on to Jerusalem and making The Entry there. I want to speak to your heart and talk to you just a tad about "The Entry" into your heart by our beloved Jesus. If you have seen the picture of Jesus standing at the door and knocking, you will find there is no doorknob on the outside of the door. In other words, the door has to be opened from the inside. Brothers and sisters, I want you to picture your heart like this. No knob of any type to open it from the outside. I pray that all of you have already given your heart over to Jesus and are "born again." I pray that you have confessed your love to Jesus and asked Him to forgive you of your sins. However, if you have not, I want you to picture this.
I want you to picture Jesus standing in front of you and knocking on your chest. On your heart, so to speak. This is what these scriptures mean, it means that Jesus wants into your heart and has even DIED TO GET THERE. However, He is not going to "let Himself in." You must invite Him in. Remember, the door has no doorknob on the outside. You are the same way. Jesus is not going to "force Himself" on anyone. He wants you to invite Him in. Trust me, once you make this choice and you invite Him in and He dines with you and you with Him, this meaning you are living now for and with Jesus, your life will change. Hear me again on this. Once you invite Jesus into your heart, YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE.
I don't know how many of you in your life have gone "church shopping," meaning you maybe have moved and you are looking for a good church, a new church for you. You will find that some churches will have ushers there to open the doors for all folks and you will be treated special as a visitor. While other churches will have no greeters and maybe nobody will even talk to you. Don't feel alone on this, these same churches treat Jesus the same way. Some will welcome Jesus, and others you would wonder if they even have Jesus stop in. So folks, I want to take you now to a few different scriptures. However, before that I do want to make this statement. Jesus is the only way to heaven. Your church, your pastor, your friends, your father, not even your mamma, can get you into Heaven, just Jesus. While all the others can lead you, either toward Christ or away, only Jesus can get you home. Now let me back it in scripture.
John 14:6 - Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (NIV)
Now here is what you must do, and again I am going to the scriptures.
Romans 10:9 - That if you confess with your mouth "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. (NIV)
Now I could have saved the day's message until Easter, however, if you are not saved and you go into Easter already saved, you will enjoy it so much more. And if you by chance do not make it to Easter, at least you have heard about the way into Heaven and I pray today you will make the commitment to God and to yourself. It starts with a simple prayer and then just getting out your Bible and learning to lean on Jesus. And if you have questions, please by all means call me or email me. Phone 717 691 8200 or icarrythelight4God@msn.com. Now will you pray with me, and if you are already saved, "born again," please pray along and get renewed.
Dear Father in Heaven, forgive me of my sins, and please come into my heart and heal my heart and take me as Your child. I want to live for You, and yes, I do believe in You and have faith in Jesus. Save me, Lord, please save me. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
Now go forth and share your blessings. Love ya, and please pass on that love to others.

Monday 4/7/14 The Entry
Dear Father in Heaven: I love You, and I thank You in advance for seeing me through this day. Please, dear Lord, forgive me of my sins. Thanks fr helping us through a very busy week last week, and Lord, today we need Your help again. Please be with our president and please be with our veterans and our current military and keep them safe. Please, Lord, bring peace to our nation. I pray for those who are lost on the airliner and I pray they are still alive and You will show our leaders where they might be. Be with their loved ones as they wait this out. Please be with Carry The Light Ministry team as we enter into this very, very busy season and try and walk it with You and show others that they also need to walk it with You. Please help us to teach the full and complete story of Jesus as we understand it from the Bible and by You planting it on my heart. Now please help me with the daily message and then to send it out. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
Brothers and sisters, I am praying that the messages that God gives me now will follow His footsteps on His last weeks on earth. Please pray for me as I write these. Thanks to all who came and helped to pick and pack, and thanks to all who are coming to help this coming Saturday. God is good, folks. Amen. Now let me get to the message. Oh, and please be sure to pray for our president, and please pray first that he finds Jesus and takes Him into his heart. Pray that President Obama talks things over with Jesus before he brings them to the people of the world. And pray for our other leaders to be in touch with God also. Our country NEEDS TO TURN BACK TO GOD. Someone please say Amen.
Monday, April 7, 2014, The Entry (Day One).
Luke 19:28 - 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, 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." (NIV)
Numbers 19:1 - The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: 2 "This is a requirement of the law that the Lord has commanded: Tell the Israelites to bring you a red heifer without defect or blemish and that has never been under a yoke." (NIV)
1 Samuel 6:7 - "Now get a new cart ready, with two cows that have calved and have never been yoked. Hitch the cows to the cart, but put the calves away and pen them up. 8 Take the ark of the Lord and put it on the cart, and in a chest beside it put the gold objects you are sending back to Him as a guilt offering. (NIV)
Brothers and sisters, I start this week on what I am calling The Entry which will lead later in the week to The Triumphal Entry and what we call Palm Sunday. By the way, and I did want to mention this, I am trying hard to make the daily messages shorter. You would think that it would be easier to make a short message than long, but when you have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle, you tend to go on and on. Anyway, with that said, let me get moving.
What I want to bring out to you on the scriptures that God pointed me to today is the one thing the same in each scripture is that what is needed for God to use has never been used before. A virgin, if you please, as was Mary, the mother of Jesus. I will indeed bring out more scriptures this week on the Donkey Colt, but for today I just want you to ponder on the fact that this little donkey colt was never sat on. In the scripture in Numbers, the "red heifer" was never under yoke and was to be without defect or blemish. In the scriptures in 1 Samuel, the two cows were never under yoke, meaning never hooked up as a team. And if you noticed, even the cart where the Ark of the Lord was placed was never used. What is this telling us? What is Jesus pointing out to us? We need to remember that Jesus, The Only Son of God The Father, was also without blemish, He was without sin. I would like to say that He was not used, and He was not used until He was born, and now I would think that Jesus is used over and over and over again. That statement is mine, of course, and to me it means that His blood was poured out to cleanse us of our sins and His blood is still flowing today, and Jesus is the same and each day He is used more and more. Now, brothers and sisters, Jesus wants us to lean on Him, or to use Him, but I do not think He expects us or wants us to keep using Him. I am sure He wants us to REPENT and stop our sinning and just coming back to be cleansed. However, speaking on my behalf, I am sure glad that the fountain does not run dry.
Tomorrow we are going to dig deeper into The Entry, and I know He wants me to be sure to tell you this. Please go forth and share your blessings, for God has blessed all of us well. I love ya. Please pass my love on to others.
