Palm SONday & Passover

Good morning & greetings to you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Today is what is called PALM SUNDAY.  It is the day in history when Jesus was greeted & welcomed into the city, and as an act of honor, the people threw down palm leaves in front of Him.  This time in history is also called "The Triumphal Entry".

In this day, we are living in a time of turmoil.  And, just as in Jesus' day, people are looking for a "savior", if you will, to our political & governmental system.  We look to the "systems" and the "government" to save us, provide for us, guide and lead us.  We have gotten our focus off the SAVIOR of the World, Jesus.  We have forgotten that He is our Provider & Sustainer, and also when He left this earth, He said that would leave us a Helper, Holy Spirit (John 14:16-18; John 16:7; John 15:26), who would GUIDE us, lead us, & teach us.  May we cry out, as David in Psalm 139:23-24:  "Search me, O God, & know my heart; Try me, & know my anxieties; & see if there is any wicked way in me, & lead me in the way everlasting."  Keeping our eyes on this world's systems is causing great anxiety, worry & fear.  These mental anguishes are not from the Lord, but are traps of the enemy that will not only paralyze us & the Body of Christ, but keep us distracted, deceived & entangled by the enemy.  We must shake it off & keep our eyes & focus on Jesus Christ, our Lord.  HE is the Savior & Provider.  Great division is rising up in our nation and world, and we must be united in heart and one-minded on God.  It is imperative.  We must get in God's Word daily....we must spend time with Him & seek out HIS guidance & counsel.  We cannot be led by our own selves, CNN, FoxNews or anyone else of the world.  We must be soley focused on Jesus Christ and led by His Holy Spirit.  

So, today, as it is PALM SUNDAY, I ask that you take a moment and throw the "palms" down in your life and ask Him into your lives afresh & anew.  Welcome Him into those dark areas that you have been hiding and keeping locked up inside.  And then on this Passover-Eve, I highly encourage you to celebrate that tomorrow (Monday evening), and ask God to give you the strategies for the days, months and time ahead of us, so that the evil of this world would "Passover" you and your loved ones, & the Body of Christ could not only be spared, but be warring, advancer of God's Kingdom.  There are even greater days ahead, but we must be fully armored, discerning, and FOCUSED.

Palm Sunday.......Passover......the time is here, the time is now.......whatcha gonna do with it!?!

God's love & mine,
