Lord may our hearts leap with
such great joy! You are Adonai, Elohim, and
the Blood-Shed Lamb of the world! May we
never forget that ALL was accomplished through your work at the Cross. Resurrection power is in each one of us. As you walk us through your Holy Bible let us
remember who we are: blood bought, spirit filled, we are on fire preaching the
Gospel of Jesus Christ in all power and authority to peoples, cities, and
nations. The Roar of this generation is Arise and Shine for the Glory of the
Lord is in you and on you! Go and make
disciples, heal the sick and raise the dead!
Come on you can do it!
Friday - John 12:1
Jesus arrived in the Bethany
six-days before the Passover to spend time with His friends: Mary, Martha, and
Lazarus. After eating dinner that was
given in honor of Him, Mary anointed Jesus' feet with costly perfume as an act
of humility.
Lord, may my life's work and
offering be a beautiful aroma to You. May my sacrifice and devotion exceed the
ridicule and condemnation from those of this world. May my focus rest on you always Lord.
Saturday - Sabbath, Day of Rest
It is difficult for us to
rest. Life gets in the way. We have families and spouses and work.
Take today to rest. Rest in Him.
Be present today to what He is speaking to you. Reflect on His goodness. Reflect on His character and who He is. Walk barefoot outside, feel the ground,
notice the wind and the sun. Look for
Him in your spouse and your kids today.

Sunday
- The Triumphant Entry; Matthew 21:1-11
On the first day of the week,
Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. The crowd welcomed Him with "Hosanna,"
Glory to God in the highest.
This was a prophecy being
fulfilled. Zechariah spoke of this when
he said "Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gentle and riding
on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey."
Today we shout Hosanna to you Lord!
Your kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven!
Be patient in your trials. After three years of whispers and accusations
of blasphemy with those of this world wondering if He is King, He fulfilled
what was spoken. He will fulfill what He
has spoken over you!! He will fulfill
His promises for you!
Monday - Clearing of the temple; Matthew
21:10-17
On this day He returned to the
Temple and found the Court of the Gentiles full of traders and money changers
making a large profit as they gave out Jewish coins in exchange for "pagan"
money. Jesus knocked over their tables
and drove them out.
Jesus had a zeal for the house of
his Father. He walked in righteousness
and holiness. What do you
compromise? What do you feel Holy Spirit
is asking of you? Is it to fast? Remove music from your home? Pray with your children? When He nudges your heart, He is taking you
from Glory to Glory to be transformed in to His image!! Thank you Lord for never leaving us or
forsaking us!!
Tuesday - Day of Controversy and Parables;
Matthew 21: 23-24
Jesus escapes the traps that are
set by the Priests. He teaches in parables and warns the people about the
Pharisees. Jesus prophecies the destruction of King Herod's great temple and
told his disciples about future events, including His triumphant return.
Jesus did not get caught up by
accusations and traps. He did not engage
the enemy. When seeking Him and His
Kingdom, do not get caught in schemes and conversations that will steal, kill,
and destroy the work He is doing in you.
Press in and be persistent! Read
His Word and ask for fresh revelation.
Understand what He is speaking directly to you when you read.
Wednesday - Day of Rest
The scriptures do not mention or
have record of anything.
Thursday - The Passover/The Last Supper;
Matthew 26:17-32
In the upper room, Jesus prepared
both Himself and His disciples for His coming death. He gave the Passover meal
a new meaning. The loaf of bread and a cup of wine represent His body that was
soon to be sacrificed and his blood that will be shed. With this, so became
what we know and call "The Lord's Supper." After they sang, they went to the
Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed in a song knowing what lays ahead for
Him.
There is healing power in
communion. Read 1 Corinthians 11:17-32
and take communion with your Savior. It
is a very powerful thing.
Friday - The Crucifixion; Matthew 27:1-66
Following betrayal, arrest,
desertion, false trials, denial, condemnation, beatings that disfigured His
face, and the mockery, Jesus was required to carry his Cross to the place of
the skull, otherwise known as Golgotha Hill, where he was crucified with two
others.
He was betrayed and sold for
thirty pieces of silver, the cost of a slave.
He stayed quiet to the charges and accusations made against Him. Wow.
What a horrible thing for our Savior to endure but He chose to walk this
as a man for us and with us. He
understands better than anyone. He has
compassion when we hurt, when we are betrayed and when we face false
accusations. Just as He was helped in
carrying His Cross, He wants to help us.
Seek Him and allow Him to help you.
Matthew 27:57-61
His disciple Joseph went to
Pilate and requested His body so he could honor Him in death. Joseph wanted to give Jesus a proper Jewish
burial. In those times, it was not
uncommon for criminals (Jesus was crucified as a criminal) to be denied a
burial, but instead allowing their bodies to decay as a sign of insult and
shame. Jesus' body was placed in the
tomb before 6pm Friday night, when the Sabbath began and all of the work
stopped. His body lay in the tomb
throughout the Sabbath.
Sunday - Resurrection; Matthew 28:1-13
Early in the morning women went
to the tomb and found that the stone of the tomb's entrance was rolled away. An
Angel told them that Jesus was alive and gave them a message. Jesus appeared to
Mary Magdalene in the garden, to Peter and two Disciples on the road to Emmaus,
and later that day to all of His Disciples but Thomas. His Resurrection was
established as a fact.
He conquered the grave, He
conquered sin, and He conquered death!!
The Lord's Word has been
fulfilled! It will not return void! Jesus' life leading up to the point was
prophesied and Satan worked extra hard to ensure the Word of the Lord would not
come to pass. Hear that? No matter what happens to you, no matter how
hard the circumstances, no matter how tired and alone and busted and disgusted
you feel, His Word WILL come to pass in your life and you WILL be a testimony
to His goodness!
Enjoy the freedom Christ has
given each one of us!
Till the end.
