Palm Sunday : Hosanna

Family, right dude, the world sees image. You say no no. No, they'll see his image by our love for one another. That scripture is it they know you are my disciples by your love for one another but if I don't know how to do relationship and family with you hardly ever going to see his love for one another. Some of our own family systems are messed up cuz we don't even talk to some of our family.

But I just really wanted to apologize today. I'm joking. I'm serious.

In this whole thing that we've been dealing with about living love out you got to realize that God's about family. It's always Church the culture of the Kingdom functions to a family lens.

If it doesn't and we're just walking into religion.

Here's a thought God came down to Adam in the cool of the day A lot of times we drive on when you wake up in the morning you need to talk to God, but it's totally cool with you taking him with you and then in the cool of the day in the evening you and him having Fellowship.

What happens if what we've these parameters that we put on people is man-made rituals and not a relationship with God.

Oh snap staff. You're messing with some of our devotion.

I'm not messing with your devotional time. I'm want you to have freedom.

Come on. But how's it look? How did you start what what what did it look like to live this thing out in such a way that it becomes, you know attractive. I thought you told me to Tractive like oh, you look good. I literally mean I mean you guys are familiar with X-Men right if you know X-Men. X-Men kinda well you're missing out cuz he brought back the original series. Tell me what does muting a Magneto and do whatever you would like to do this movement metal which has become attracted to him. I'm so attracted that it's he learned how to do mess with the gravity whatever he would have floated above the Earth and Fullmetal to him. I want people to be attracted by Jesus like that. Not because of my activities but because of his presence that involves. See what the indwelling of his presence. There's a pool naturally. You can't help it have a naturally the dog. You can help a one God you can help if you stirred to him and stirred by him. It's been no longer Becomes of works. You know that. If you were just pulled into. It's no longer by your Works in. Worst do you have a place?

But they don't have a place apart from face. And they don't have a place apart from Grace. Cuz Works outside of Grace is just religion.

You're striving. Striving for something hoping that you'll finally become but the truth of the scripture is you have already become.

That's the truth of the scripture. You already become when you got bored again. You became something last week I share with you guys about how we became you. We got born again were new and I told you that were made in His image and we're called the function in his likeness and I did miss two scriptures together. There was two structures on mixed together. So my goal isn't to have it mixed with actually for you understand what I'm saying? Because the principal is still true. Once you try as you will see will see him face-to-face and we will be like him that's a mixture of scriptures with the principle that they're both talking about is ingrained in that scripture. Don't want you guys to understand that. Because the Bible says as he is, so are we in this? Say that again as Jesus is right now, so are we in this? We're going to do this again. As Jesus is right now. So are we in this world? as Jesus is and I'm adding in this world cuz he's right now but in this world, so are we I don't know if that's biblical.

Where's Google? Look up and Google right now.

Do you know when the Bible was written was written in chapters stuff like that, which is written in books has a continual letter scroll.

We structured it in chapters so that people can digested but then sometimes we function through much through any man-made system with it that we missed the whole message. So who is just found we just said in Google?

Is thinking Hugh? I want you guys to make sure I'm in there that it's in the scripture. It's not just something I'm spouting out.

What's he say?

I want to give you the microphone gym. This is great. Love has perfected Among Us in this that we may have boldness in the day of judgment because as he is so are we in this world?

John Wood

1st John 4 17

He is. So are we in this world until now? The question has to come to mine is how is Jesus?

Yes. Jesse is you know the struggle that we have we identified we identify more with the unrest erected Lord than the resurrected Lord. Call snaps Jesus.

We identify ourselves. With Jesus going to the Cross not the one that got out of the tune.

We look and we are done. We like to understand and then that I really relate and yeah, but what about the one who got out of the two?

Because in that scripture and John he's not talking about the one going to the Cross. He's talkin about the one who sits at the right hand of the father and intercedes for us. That's who he's talking about.

That's the same John that saw him on the island of Patmos when he was acting dialed cuz they couldn't kill him. That's why he was exiled. They tried to blow him alive. Didn't work.

Yeah didn't work. To know the Excel into this island and isolation and he's sitting there and it starts and Revelations and I John.

Against your Bibles you follow me. I John was on the Isle of Patmos and I was in the spirit on the Lord's day and I heard and he saw

and that's who bested Jesus that he's writing about as he is. So are we in this world?

And the reason why we're going there like that because I want you to gain understanding of who you are. And what is the importance of who you are and you being a part of God's family and living out this thing of love.

Before Jesus rose from the grave he had to do an entry and he went into Jerusalem.

I mean you guys know where that sound at. I'll give you a hand saw in the Book of Mark. I found a couple of your Facebook for this example. I just go to the Book of Mark.

Show me The Book of Mark. Jesus sends his disciples. He says Hey, I want you to go find a donkey donkey.

That's never been ridden on.

After they go in the store and then get this donkey That Never Was Written for a donkey in my first question when you read the story. Why is God asking for a donkey? I mean, come on man if I'm going to make entry into a city. I don't know if I'm going to ride a donkey.

I'm from Africa. We ride horses and zebras.

I'm just playing with you guys.

Yes, that's one reason. It was prophesied in the Old Testament, but not mistaken Zachariah. But why do we have a donkey that I mean for a donkey? Yes for prophecy. But the question is why would they promised a donkey about a horse ride? Horses and chariots and stuff instead today about him coming on the donkey and you have another interesting fact, if you're in scripture is that last time someone came like on a donkey? He was going to curse Israel. He was a prophet whose name was Balaam and you curse Israel, and he's riding on this donkey. Christmas donkey because you didn't want to go forward because his donkey saw an angel in front of them.

And finally got open the donkey's mouth so we can speak the hold up a second. stop God opened the mouth. a donkey You know what? It says in the King James.

I know.

But he opened the mouth of a donkey. I don't know about you, but that's freaky.

Don't you talk like you stop hitting me? So one man in the Old Testament, where are the donkey to go in cursive Israel? I know you have God's son coming into Israel and asking, you know, his vehicle is in top of the line.

The Black Stallion

It's not because I'm black.

shiny hair

Not I just met because I'm black.

Donkey Kong structure put another reason why I asked for a donkey because when King back in the day when kids when they rode on horses, but when they were here for peace, they wrote on donkeys.

History now. So Jesus is going into Jerusalem and he's on a donkey and right until to be briefed before you make this way in there.

Something unique happened people start doing something.

What do people start doing?

So what you guys write this down? Cuz I want you to read and verify I'm telling you the truth. what you to be like

the one group of people in the New Testament 2 Impala with speech they didn't believe everything. You said went back to the scriptures this search that you was telling them the truth. Do you know what group of people that was? That's right. It was the bereans. I want you guys. I want to see a restoration if you like the bereans. Not just to hear me saying I want you to hear from God's word himself. So he's on the donkey. Jesus goes and crafts shows in Cypress. Go grab the donkey. I'm paraphrasing this thing.

What does interesting fact happen when they got the donkey and when Jesus started to arrive? People started to do something as he entered into Jerusalem. Do you know what they did?

See we all remember the Palm leaves. Oh come on more than that.

Another group of people tried to shut them up.

Tomorrow I mean for us you were in the church for years, we know this story, but let's dive in a little bit. What did they throw down they did something? Pay their cloaks there who said prayer shawls. Why did they throw down the clothes in the prayer shawls? Why? Understanding, why do they throw down the cloaks in the Parish Office? Let's talk about the as the cloak first. Cuz we're all expecting Jesus to come back. We're expecting him to show up. We wanted to show up during our service with let me ask you something. What are you throwing down?

But yeah, I'm telling you. It's not really I'm not being funny or nothing. But for me personally me throwing down a palm leaf. Isn't that challenging?

Maybe about 3 on to it might be a little more challenging the first one.

Show me the history on first down their cloaks and most likely the clothes weren't you were from the men and the women with them because when a man through his cloak down it was the symbolism of his authority. Let's go. No attachment for a second. Joseph is known as

the one with many

why does it represents favor? If you want to know he was the first one to rock that written though.

That's right. and it meant favor it meant favor Emmett promise.

Priest had a certain cloak garment that they will wear the signify who they are and it would have to be a specific length and also the word had to be in Great Britain in it. So did it Things were different colors.

the real quick when Paul who at that time was called saw was getting ready to kill Steven because they were stoning him because of what you were saying the men who were around at that time all came into agreements by throwing their clothes down at Paul speak to you as the judge of the situation. Both came to false feed the men leave here. Like this is a good thing because you would have thought maybe Paul instigated it. But what we do know is he gave judgment there? And you can send it to his death. But it was okay thing him being a Pharisee. So those men throwing their clothes. It was insane work and agreement with the Judgment of this Pharisee.

So the first thing they do is Jesus comes in on the donkey and all of a sudden there had to be some Authority laid out there had to be someone saying I'm coming into agreement.

With this king who is coming in the Jerusalem.

The first thing if you expect Jesus to come and move in your life cuz he wants to know are you willing to throw things down? And are you willing to come into agreement with him?

Are you going to come into agreement? Coming into agreement doesn't mean you're doing the right thing. But it is acknowledging that you're not.

Let me help someone again coming into agreement with him doesn't mean you're stopping everything. It's just that you're in agreement that the thing that you're doing or maybe the thing that you are doing is the right thing or the wrong thing.

It's being an agreement with him being an agreement with the word that a lot of times. We don't want to come into agreement with him until we look in a more agreeable way.

Sometimes we don't want to do that.

But the thing is God wants your agreement. Free cleaned everything up about you. Before he changes your family he wants you to be in agreement with him. Struggles that with people they want people family to change, but they're not in agreement with God.

You're not in agreement with how God wants to do it. Come on, man. All the Jerusalem wanted the Messiah to come.

They just weren't in agreement on how he came.

Betty wanted the Messiah they've been looking for this in this bigger to come and deliver Jerusalem all of Israel from Roman brutality and how he shows up. the way they expected

so they didn't come into agreement with their Messiah.

Two other people throwing their clothes down there saying we laid our Authority in agreement with the next thing they told you to stay Throwdown was their prayer shawls. What about the Wailing Wall?

What about going to the temple?

You're saying we're directing were not agreeing that but now we're going to direct our prayer the thing that's been covering us.

Run directed towards you now. It's a lot of prophetic symbolism. We're going to get so direct with you guy that we're going to look up their prayers at your feet. We're going to let you ride on our prayers because there's things that Jesus is looking for and you expect a move of God in your life. He's looking for you to come in agreement and he's also looking for you.

to use your mouth to use your mouth and speak it out. I know God doesn't need me to use my mouth. Okay? If you would have think that you know, it's crazy to me. I'll tell you what God wants you to use your God.

You confess with your mouth.

And believe in your heart. What's what's the first part again confess with your what? And believe in your heart. But it only goes into your heart because you confess with your mouth. This kingdom is simple because the reason why is because of this whatever comes out of a man's mouth comes from his

Who's got needs your mouth? Yeah, cuz he wants your heart. Brother that's clear.

So your prayers have to be directed towards him with understanding and saying Lord, you know, we want your way the way that you want to talk. Like you got didn't show up like a blazing king. Would you still receive him? I think some of the fun things I'm looking forward to and the waves of the movement of the spirit. It's been some of the fun things that I'm really looking forward to. Is number one?

He's number one.

Charismatic side to realize God's going to lose through them with great Authority and through his word and through the side. That isn't charismatic. You're going to realize holy spirit's going to wreck them real big.

I'm looking forward to that so much like seriously. I don't mean to be charismatic site that God's not going to move with fire and power but you got to know something. You don't have really Tunis into the authority of his word. But to the other side has a lot of word. He's going to be like we're going to do some guys.

Are you willing to receive Jesus how he chooses to come in? Yeah. Are you willing? Are you going to direct your prayers to him and stay in agreement with him? No matter what. It looks like because sometimes is going to look weird. Sometimes going to look so systematic they were like, is it really God? but it is

the question for us is can you recognize him as he's coming in?

You asked me what the church needs more than anything is called discernment.

Why so you can discern the times so we can discern I know people are freaking out about this Eclipse thing. Oh my gosh, there's so much freaking out stuff about this Eclipse like seven years ago went through Salem and now it's going through none of them and my focus is Jesus. but you didn't

I'm glad that you know that but I'm focused on him and the people who need to know him in the people who no, no no more. So you can look to the eclipse. I'm looking to the Sun.

Cuz you have to stay directed towards him. Another Point as you rode in people not only did they lay down when you give God Authority and you direct your prayers to him. You cannot do nothing but worship.

What does it mean?

Save us some translations. It says hosanna in the highest and then the religious people. Let me tell you something about religion religion will always always lose it again. Always try to stop the worship of God's people. Oh you do not matter. Doesn't matter. You know at one time some of these famous hymns that we have we're bar songs. Barcons dude, the thing that some people get stuck on AR-15 and bar songs. The Melody of the bar songs literally I could imagine being back in that time. If you were going there you write this song with the same tune as the heathen. Who's Ryder court that time? Yes, and I'm pretty sure what he was trying to get some of these hands in the the main church that at that time was a little bit more than Surgical. You're like this is a house of God, and you will not bring those bar song.

But now we hold some of those hymns dear to our hearts. Tim was raised on this very hands.

Something men's to modernize a little bit. It's something like Cristiano. I want to remember Christian rock was just don't know.

Oh my God, the creator of music made music. The Devil is a byproduct with the Creator created. Okay, you understand that. He said he went haywire.

That's on him.

to God came with a waiver rock music Workshop in their life

organs

Do you trust me?

Some of those organ sounds really good in a rap music. This sounds really good.

People freaked out about that. So whenever God is actually moving on people's heart an expression of their Authority laid down before him and expression other prayers being directed to the next day. You can't help but it's just proclaimed excitement and worship. It doesn't matter what it looks like the people that you guys out here with twirling Flags. I don't care for all those things. Do something Lord? Father seeks to worship Him in spirit and truth. Let's pause. Cuz we really don't understand that. We called it, but we don't understand it because we understand and spirit. Let me tell you something everything originated from the spirits.

Public School Do you guys remember how they would dead how it turn time of the week? We would do this thing your every year it was called. I will we do in spirit week. You would do.

Cool colors. What else? Can we do drum the band come out tell me war face paints. Like this time for school spirit week. We're going to dress like the 70s people getting dressed. build a build a bonfire

He thought it was ridiculous. I heard you. It's okay. You're in the spirit now.

Send it our school colors. That's it. I was a rebel.

And to give exclamation to other our school model or whatever thing that they deem necessary. So at least you understood that being in the spirit means changing the normal way of doing things.

Stop right there for a second and Marie say that I fix my microphone.

So was every week like Siri, we know you change the normal way that you did things and Jesus said the father father desires those who worship Him in spirit. What does that mean? You're not going to worship on the mountain or in the temples. They're going to worship in spirits cuz I'm changing the patterns of things.

And it's freaking people out.

I would save everyone would hold on we have truth and live in it.

Truth cuz this is why the spirit can pour out on the church. And if the church don't got truth ain't going to do nothing with the spirit.

So you need truth. So Jesus said spirit and truth. So in the spirit. It changes the normal way things are done. Because you're following the spirit you're being led by the spirit. Jesus could have came on a horse, but he said I'm only going to do what the father said and then scripture the father said in the prophecy Zachariah that this is how the Messiah is going to come. So I'm going to do with the father says

he was just following with the spear was say and it was already written down beforehand. So he literally activated on the written word.

Are you catching all these nuggets? Jesus activated on the written word

I'm going to do some people start screaming out Hosanna and then the religious leaders begin to do something. That's not appropriate the timer date for that.

It was hot yet. I was out of it was out or did you imagine this guy's on a donkey riding in people throwing their jackets and stuff with a jacket?

Let's have some fun.

Know what you get a visual what it look like.

Come on. Jack is there closer in the middle of the aisle, right? Literally saying we are in agreement with Eugene.

Don't know about you, but this happened in your oh, yeah. Come on. I know this would have happened in your house. We call it a mess.

I'm pretty sure it did they just didn't write it. Mark Sigma submit that

Are there all the time they just didn't do that. But some people don't like we throw our jackets down. Some people are like I'm just small I may not have authority. I may not have Authority Under in the scripture that the first people that probably threw the Palm leaves.

It's getting loud.

I wonder if the first people who threw the Palm leaves in my mind. I'm just thinking all these adults and throwing down their jackets clothes and prayer shawl and I'm pretty sure mama said they'll take that off.

No wonder the little kids are like

haha And I wonder if kids are the ones who started throwing the police police. I have some fun. You don't have Palm leaves. Put on that police.

Sorry, I didn't work like I wanted it to. Amelie's why because you're going down because you're worshipping the police or an example of worship and this is why it's so important and God's presents that we hold our hands up because of your hand.

Are the prophetic insight? pong pong

but it's so crazy that he is structured that he would say nothing but your hands. Shark Week god with a voice of Triumph God says you're going to get in spirit with me that I need you to move your physical body. Why does God want you to move your physical body to be in spirit? simple you know why?

How many years have been depressed?

Did any of you guys when you were depressed felt like jumping?

Not one bit did you? someone set off a cliff

He's an agreement. He's like he's like, yeah, I exactly not the only one. besides the cliff Factor I think a great name for a series. lift Factor somebody built like that. No one wants to jump your the pressure in the f*** you like. I don't want to move. I just want to talk in like you yours.

What the scripture says jump we bore?

and the joy of the Lord is our so we don't have strength and we don't have joy. The remedy in God's word is getting the spirit. And sometimes getting this fear me some moved your physical body. Why does God want you to move your physical property? get your mind to stop focusing on with the body says and start focusing on with the spirit is saying

yes, you are what you can hold. Plus, I think it's kind of silly and it's silly guys think about silly this looks you got calling people Jesus a common man, like really Jesus was not handsome. Only pictures of him they do. They don't do them Justice. The Bible says you was calling me. It was mine. I know the Bible says Leah was calmly my bad, but comely literally mean she was ugly. That's horrible. It's in the Bible that you can't be mad. It's in there.

admit that God

scripture says Jesus, you know you and even desire him. He wasn't.

Are you at all these people following him and worship beginning to worship Him and them saying those Anna was saying Messiah? And the Pharisees wanted him to shut up one of the people to shut up.

God

last night I got a call from my brother and my brother is fighting depression. He's an alcoholic he was drunk. But he's fighting depression. He said he didn't want to live anymore. He had confessed. He was born again. We baptize him in the river number years ago, but he's not believing Jesus declared over him. He's leaving with the Enemy says so I called him he was when you first started texting me and And I had an idea that he was probably had been drinking too much. But anyway, he you know, we were talking and we would keep going on these Rabbit Trail. I finally said to him I said, are you have you been drinking? And he said yeah, and I said well call me back when you're sober cuz I can't reason with you and then the Lord spoke to me now after I hung up that was a little bit was a little bit short with him and I have to ask the Lord to forgive me for that. But, you know, then the Lord started to speak to me. And he said exactly what you were talking about. He said he is not believing what got what I have done for him. And I said, so I texted him and I said Wayne do you want to experience God's presence right now? He said yeah, but but and I said then this is what I want you to do. I want you to with your mouth out loud start to praise God whether you feel like it or not and do it out loud. And he said they responded back shortly after that and he said I you know, he says you praise him I said no, so that's not going to work. I said you have to praise him and he says where two or three are gathered in agreement, you know, he started quoting scriptures to me. I see he said, you know, so pray that God will take me out of this noises. I want the Lord to return United kept going on about that. And I said you missed the point. I said I said you have to begin to praise him whether you feel like it or not. And this is what I'm going to agree with you. I said, this is my agreement that God's presence will come if you will begin to praise him. That's the only thing I'm going to agree with you about. And you know, that's where we have to begin. That's where we have to do, you know, and this was the Holy Spirit speaking to me, you know and giving me this. No I didn't come up with this bomb my own but God is good and he loves us when we feel that he's not when we feel that down. We've lost sight of the fact that he's good and we believe the alai of the enemy. Praise God for what he's done and what he's doing it in whether we feel like it or not. God is worthy of our praise.

The beautiful part if you guys can grab a hold of it, he didn't condemn his brother for what he did. He said why don't you just start praising God?

I don't have any right to condemn. Come on see a lot of times he's coming to direct you back to him. He's not coming to bring you down. He's coming to ask you to lift you up. We sing a song pick me up. Turn me around. Solid Ground I think the father

does it give it to her story?

I shared a testimony Tuesday night. at a place called The Liberty Barn and Might just by chance. This gentleman who was on a job in Conneaut was working his way home and he lives up on the other side of south of 422. off of 528

he decided he would come up a D7 and then cool down. somehow whatever the route would be to look I mean and I wasn't what the Holy Spirit had him come down 87 because he pointed out the Liberty Barn was about to show up and he had visited delivered a barn a few years back. It was a real strong member of it. Don't do it all the time.

So he walks in he hears my testimony and when he was done before I was done and it was basically the whole thing was over with he gives another lady his card and he says when that man's done talking, would you please hand them this car? I need to talk to him. He said I really want him to come over and let my wife hear that testimony. She really needs to hear this. so I got the card from her and I had no hesitation cuz I knew I had to do this cuz I told a while back. Under the spirit that I knew missions were coming my way. And I've been waiting for him and there had been a couple already, but this was big. But I couldn't figure out why I had to call this guy and make an arrangement to go over to their house. I don't know where they even lived.

To take care of this storytelling, bye-bye. What is a tri stat on had what I had said at the barn for her there had to be more to it. Hey now. Here's the thing.

I've never and up a fit if I was right if I was being fed the right stuff. I have never ever.

Taking something like this on before you ever. And I was beginning to wonder if I really want to do this but I had already committed to it because the Holy Spirit told me I had to do this because it's a mission. So I went I found out where I called guys directions 47 minutes. I traveled on 528 and got on that Street South and he lives a couple of miles down the road. I went there got in there house met him nice guy, very strong in the word of God. And I didn't at first I said, oh my gosh, this guy is really powerful and in the lore, he knows he knows it. We knows the word but it didn't intimidate me at all. I I saw his wife there. She was in the kitchen standing with her walker hardly can stand. very rejected

such a sad thing to see in a person. We work our way into the living room and sat down and talked a little bit about who we were and stuff like that. I said, okay. It says you want to know my story write my testimony and she said yeah for whatever it's worth, but I do and I told her And one thing led to another light to another. This lady herself is very spiritual. Very Special Love Jesus. She loves God. Holy Spirit was his all over her, but she let it go. She's Let It Go. She says I don't believe anymore God helps a lot of people. I've seen God help people. He's not helping me. He's not fixing my legs. I can't hardly walk anymore, and she can't and she was so bummed out.

And I told her you know, I basically told her some of the same things you said. And I pray for her and I told her you got to take authority. He gives you the authority and I know you know that well, it doesn't do any good.

And she jumped and I said no more.

You could feeding the evil don't do it. If you ever get them thought you kicked it away get it out of there do it. And she's like, and she she looks at me. She smiled and he says oh my gosh. I haven't seen that smile. I don't know probably a couple years. There's like Macy. And I got her to smile more and I said when the smile I said, I see that smile that's like girl your light is starting to the light up my you're starting to catch a fire enough. You don't tell me the holy spirit is in with you anymore and that you're going to give up because I'm going to tell you something you have too many testimonies in you to share with people in this place. You were here for a purpose. He didn't get rid of you a long time ago and giggling to it for hours 4 hours and I prayed all the way down 528 from the Lake Erie all the way down there. You got to help me you got to help me because I've never done this before. I know something's coming up that I'm not and I said you need to feed me every word is awesome. It was just awesome.

Girl, is that all right?

You give you guys a quick recap?

About today know it was good recap God about family. He's about you being intimate with him. Not your activity. When your Authority when you let your Authority down at his feet he shows up in a big way. When you direct your prayers towards him the next thing that flows is worship and when you do those things like that in a place of Freedom with God.

stories like this and stories like with Frank shares. Become a normal part of your Christian Life.

because you begin to realize In God's loving me that way. He's going to love them that way too.

And it's telling me condemning someone I'm going to lift someone up.

And I can be a believer or unbeliever.

Yes.

Come on.

So let's do this.

the takeaway from today

Jesus is always looking. to enter into your world

He's always looking to enter into your world to show up and ways unexpected. Sometimes when you need to deliver. You'll show up at something else to deliver you. Sometimes when you need a healing he may show up as you praying for someone else like what we did earlier. Sometimes awake. You can make you stay up. You'll be praying interceding in you lose track of time. When you do it in the flash, you're always looking at the clock. Look at the clock.

Sometimes in the pasture and put my hand off. In the spirit and you're not even focused on the clock you lose track of time.
