Wednesday of this week has no record of anything taking place throughout The Gospels. After an exhausting Tuesday, and Jesus knew what was coming starting tomorrow, I’m sure it was just a day of rest and prayer. We need to do that with our lives each week, find time to rest, and certainly find time to pray. Be sure and check in tomorrow, it gets personal!! JESUS LOVES US !! Thank you for the continued prayers for Kelli Steve Maverick and Kris. Keep your Bibles read 📖 and your prayers said 🙏🙏. THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM

Tuesday was a very busy day of this week, as Jesus and the disciples made their way back into Jerusalem, they of course came across the withered fig tree again, at which time Jesus felt led to teach on faith,prayer, and forgiveness as they passed by!! He told the parable of the two sons, He was questioned about paying tribute to Cesar, He also asked the people” what is the greatest commandment in the Ten Commandments . He he also asked the crowds what do you think of Me and whose Son do you think I AM!!! Jesus warns against, and condemns the scribes and Pharisees for their belief. He talks about the widows mite, Jesus foretells His Death!!! He also talks about the relationship with His Heavenly Father. He tells of His second coming, once again tells the parable of the fig tree!! He tells people that The Son Of Man’s Second Coming, He will come as a thief in the night and how He will judge the world. He then foretells His betrayal and crucifixion!!! The rulers then consult on Tuesday evening and decide Jesus needs to be eliminated, that enters Judas. Sounds like a pretty exhausting day, even for The Son Of Man doesn’ it. According to surveys, America’s most productive day of the week is Tuesday!!! Oh and by the way, The Greatest Commandment, Thou shalt love The Lord Thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. He’s about to give His All on Friday, so He expects our all for HIM !!!
It’s now Monday morning, and Jesus is returning to Jerusalem with His 12 Disciples coming from Bethany. And as they journeyed, they became hungry, and they came across a fig tree that had nothing but leaves on it,no figs!!! Jesus then said “let no fruit grow on thee henceforth forever “ The tree immediately withered away. As the day progressed they made it into The Temple, where Jesus saw moneychangers, and saw that His House Of Prayer had become a den of thieves!! He then turned over their tables and basically kicked them out, and then He healed the blind and lame!!! And when the chief priests saw the wonderful things that He did, let’s just say they were not real happy. He had cleared the temple, calling it “ His” and then healing !! He then left with His disciples, and they went back out of the city and passed by the withered tree as they returned into Bethany, and spent the evening. Lets just say Jesus let it be known, who He was claiming to be!
MONDAY : JESUS WAS GETTING ANGRY, AND SHOWING WHAT HIS WRATH IS CAPABLE OF DOING !!! To start off this Palm Sunday, I’d like to wish my older brother Steve, out in Arizona, a very Happy 72nd Birthday, and to pray for the mission that he told me he’s going to try to fulfill, by September 22. Happy Birthday Steve, Luv Ya!! As you very well know, Palm Sunday starts THE WEEK OF ATONEMENT. It’s about the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Matthew Mark Luke and John, all talk about this very important day, three of the four Gospels, mention the precious little donkey, that would help THE KING OF KINGS make His entry into Jerusalem. I love it when Jesus told two of his disciples where the donkey would be tied, and then He told them that if anybody ask you “what are you doing, “ Jesus told them to tell them, “The Lord have need of him,and straight way they will give you the donkey “ Sure enough,as The Scriptures unfold, the two disciples found the donkey exactly where Jesus said it would be!! As they started to untie it, the owner basically came up and said,what are you doing!! The disciples told them exactly what Christ had instructed them to say and he gave them the donkey. The King Of Kings making His entry, not in a limo, not on a throne, not on a great stallion, but a never ridden, quiet, beautiful little donkey!! I also find it very interesting that there were donkeys present when Jesus was born in that stable !!! I can’t help but think when Jesus got on that lil fella, He had my name on His heart, unbelievable. So as the word spread that Jesus was coming to town, people of course gathered like crazy and threw palm branches and clothing down, for the donkey to walk upon !!! Yours and my Saviour, on the back of a little colt, walking on palm branches, knowing what lied ahead for Him by Friday of this week. Keep in mind the whole town came out to welcome Him, let’s see how many are standing with Him on Friday, around noon !! Check in tomorrow and I will give you a day by day Scripture filled truth of the events, that happened this week!! But it had to start with an obedient entry, which He did !!! Continued prayers for Steve Maverick Kelli and Kris, muchly appreciated !!! Enjoy your palm Sunday!!! Keep your Bibles read 📖 and your prayers said 🙏🙏
HE RODE IN ON A DONKEY, TO SAVE A JACKASS LIKE ME !!! THE KING OF KINGS, WHO TAKE MY PLACE ON GOOD FRIDAY !!! WOW Sorry for skipping the last few days, been busy changing over from winter season,into our landscape and lawn care season. Even threw in a 69th birthday yesterday :-) I got some good news that Habakkuk jotted down back in 626 BC, his third chapter,18th verse, “ Yet I will rejoice in The Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. 19. The Lord is my strength, and He will make my feet like hinds feet, and make me walk upon high places !!! Has your path been on high places lately,if not, ask God to put you on The Path Of Righteousness, much better view!!!!
Continued prayers for Kelli Maverick Kris Steve, muchly needed and appreciated!!! Keep those Bibles read 📖and your prayers said 🙏🙏 JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE After studying First Peter 1:3 this morning, I decided to share with you what I wrote in my journal 10 years ago after reading this scripture. “By serving a risen Savior, I have a chance to live my life for Christ, and to tell others the good news. He came, He lived, He died, He arose for me” WOW!!! When you think of it that way, it becomes personal. Hope you know Christ today, I wish more people did.

Thanks for the prayers for Kelli and Maverick👍👍 Keep those prayers said 🙏🙏 and your Bibles read 📖 If you get time today check out Deuteronomy 6, 4 through 7, then skip down to verse 25. After doing that this morning, I then asked myself this question, if someone walks into my house, Without saying one word, would they feel the presence of God. In my foyer I have three plaques. One is Joshua 24:15, another one is Psalm 91, 9 and 10, along with my certificate of ordination. Also,there are 3 nails mounted on a picture frame with a long railroad tie nail, along with two other smaller nails, that make a cross, that’s reminding me every day, what Jesus did for me. When the angel of death, came visiting in The Old Testament that evening, God‘s people were told to put blood on the door post, above the front door, so the angel of death knew that house was not to be touched!!! I don’t know about you, but I would’ve painted the whole front of the house with it. What’s hanging in your foyer, what’s up in your kids bedrooms, is there evidence throughout your home that God is welcome there. Preaching to myself this morning !! You have a great Thursday, as always,thank you for the continued prayers especially for Kelli and Maverick!! Many Many Thanks !!! Keep your Bibles read 📖 and your prayers said 🙏🙏🙏 You have a great Thursday !!! WHAT DOES YOUR HOUSE SAY
Today I couldn’t help but think of the little donkey that gave Jesus His First & Only, triumphant ride into Jerusalem, on that Passover weekend. What an honor for that little guy. I wish I could be like that donkey. I don’t have any problem being a jack ass when I stay from God’s Will,but that lil fella, had The King Of Kings on his back, what a proud moment!! I can’t help but feel, and this is my own opinion, that little guys grandparents were present in Bethlehem 33 years prior. Jesus,on a donkey, enters town to die for you and me!!! Talk about Humility!!
A CRADLE,A DONKEY,A CROSS,A TEMPORARY TOMB !!!!! Keep your prayers said 🙏🙏 And Your Bibles read 📖!!! |
