- 0:01Speaker 1: Alright, coming to you live from Alta, Monte Springs, Florida.
- 0:04Speaker 1: This is the Ember show your host Ember. First and foremost,
- 0:07Speaker 1: let's get into prayer. Lord Father that ars in heaven.
- 0:11Speaker 1: I come to you in prayer and ask for you
- 0:14Speaker 1: to have the Holy Spirit be able to speak through
- 0:16Speaker 1: this mic and go through the listener's ears and reach
- 0:18Speaker 1: their hearts and minds and be able to apply these
- 0:20Speaker 1: verses to their lives and the Lord Jesus Christ's name.
- 0:23Speaker 1: I pray a men. So we're definitely going to have
- 0:27Speaker 1: a great episode tonight. I actually have my brother here,
- 0:30Speaker 1: he's relaxing with me on the bench table. I won't
- 0:34Speaker 1: get too much into our story, but it's the Gospel
- 0:37Speaker 1: of Matthew chapter twenty one, Jesus goes into Jerusalem. Now,
- 0:43Speaker 1: I want you to grab your Bibles or get on
- 0:44Speaker 1: your Bible app and read along. I highly encourage to
- 0:47Speaker 1: be able to soak in the word as you hear
- 0:50Speaker 1: the word. And I've also stated it's so much more
- 0:57Speaker 1: beneficial when you can read along as you hear along.
- 1:04Speaker 1: But if you want to just listen, that's just fine too.
- 1:06Speaker 1: So let's get into Matthew chapter twenty one, Verse one,
- 1:09Speaker 1: it says Jesus and his twelve disciples were coming near
- 1:12Speaker 1: to Jerusalem. They came to the village called Bethpagey on
- 1:17Speaker 1: the Mount of Olives. Then Jesus sent two of his
- 1:21Speaker 1: disciples to go further.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Verse two.
- 1:24Speaker 1: He said to them, go into the village that is
- 1:28Speaker 1: in front of you. When you arrived there, you will
- 1:31Speaker 1: immediately see a donkey tied to there with her young donkey.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Undo the ropes, and bring both the donkeys here to me.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Verse three. Someone may ask you what are you doing?
- 1:47Speaker 1: Then say, the Master needs them. He will send them
- 1:51Speaker 1: back to you soon.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Verse four.
- 1:54Speaker 1: A prophet had spoken a message from God about this
- 1:58Speaker 1: long ago.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Now it became true.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Verse five say to the people in Jerusalem, look, your
- 2:05Speaker 1: king is coming to you. He is humble, and he
- 2:10Speaker 1: is riding on a donkey. Yes, he is riding on
- 2:14Speaker 1: a young donkey. And I want to go with that first,
- 2:20Speaker 1: ending to the verse five verses when it comes to
- 2:23Speaker 1: how humble that Jesus came into the village on a donkey.
- 2:33Speaker 1: He could have came on a horse. He could have
- 2:34Speaker 1: came on something really spiritually like a lion. I mean,
- 2:41Speaker 1: we can even talk about even things that we don't
- 2:44Speaker 1: even have names for. But we're talking about a donkey
- 2:48Speaker 1: and the people that we're just trying to touch him
- 2:52Speaker 1: and get his get the Holy Spirit right. And not
- 2:55Speaker 1: only that being able to you know, have witnessed and
- 3:01Speaker 1: heard all about the miracles that were taking place. So
- 3:05Speaker 1: like when we're talking about how humble he was, right now,
- 3:09Speaker 1: he's such an authority. You know that he made it
- 3:16Speaker 1: clear to his disciples go into the village and tell
- 3:23Speaker 1: them he had such direction. He was such a leader,
- 3:31Speaker 1: and it was all statistic too, like strategic. I'm sorry,
- 3:37Speaker 1: and I feel that with the Holy Spirit, you know,
- 3:43Speaker 1: and I know that when it comes to realizing the
- 3:49Speaker 1: time Jesus was in Jerusalem, I don't know.
- 3:57Speaker 2: You can only imagine like.
- 4:00Speaker 1: How much pressure he had he had felt to come
- 4:04Speaker 1: into this village, not only because he knew he was
- 4:07Speaker 1: going to get praised, but he was gonna probably also
- 4:13Speaker 1: get hazed.
- 4:18Speaker 2: He had twelve.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Disciples that made sure that he that they went ahead
- 4:23Speaker 1: before he.
- 4:25Speaker 2: I he was smart, and I.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Would get more into that, but we're gonna we're gonna
- 4:28Speaker 1: go ahead and read along on verse six. So the
- 4:30Speaker 1: two disciples went to the village. They did everything that
- 4:35Speaker 1: Jesus had told them to do verse seven, and were
- 4:39Speaker 1: still in Matthew chapter twenty one. They brought the donkey
- 4:43Speaker 1: and the young donkey to Jesus. They put their coats
- 4:47Speaker 1: on the backs of the donkey. Then Jesus sat on
- 4:52Speaker 1: one of them.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Verse eight.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Many people in the crowd put their coats down on
- 4:57Speaker 1: the road. Other people cut branches from trees. They put
- 5:01Speaker 1: these branches down on the road. See what I'm talking about,
- 5:04Speaker 1: I've already spoken. I know this because I've read this before.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Many crowds of people went in front of Jesus, and
- 5:11Speaker 1: other people followed him. All of them were shouting. We
- 5:15Speaker 1: praised the son of David. May the Lord God bless
- 5:19Speaker 1: the king who comes with authority. We praise God in
- 5:24Speaker 1: heaven above Verse ten. When Jesus went into Jerusalem, everybody
- 5:31Speaker 1: in the city had trouble, had trouble in their minds.
- 5:35Speaker 1: They were asking each other, who is this man? Now?
- 5:38Speaker 1: How many times have you felt like people misunderstand you,
- 5:44Speaker 1: They misunderstand your purpose.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Why you're even there. We've all gone through this. Doesn't matter.
- 5:51Speaker 2: If it's at the supermarket, it doesn't matter.
- 5:53Speaker 1: If it's at your job, it doesn't matter if it's
- 5:56Speaker 1: at an event we all get looked up and down.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Can sit here right and say that that's happened to
- 6:03Speaker 1: all of us, and to be where Jesus is at
- 6:14Speaker 1: this point in Jerusalem. Not everybody liked Jesus now, so
- 6:23Speaker 1: let's get into it. Verse eleven. The people in the
- 6:26Speaker 1: crowd replied, this is God's prophet, Jesus. He comes from
- 6:30Speaker 1: Nadras in Gallei, Verse twelve. We're still on Matthew twenty one.
- 6:38Speaker 1: We're gonna ride this story out. Then Jesus went into
- 6:41Speaker 1: the yard of the temple. People were buying and selling
- 6:45Speaker 1: these and things there. Jesus made them all leave that place.
- 6:49Speaker 1: He pushed over tables of the men who changed coins.
- 6:55Speaker 1: He also pushed over the seats of the men who
- 6:58Speaker 1: sold birth. Jesus was flipping tables making everyone, didn't matter
- 7:08Speaker 1: what rank or authority was there. So everybody may think
- 7:13Speaker 1: that Jesus is all kind and nice. Now Jesus, Jesus
- 7:16Speaker 1: came to send a message, and it was all to
- 7:21Speaker 1: glorify his father, And what they were doing was not
- 7:27Speaker 1: pleasing his father, and he was told to act upon that.
- 7:31Speaker 2: You know, that's the one thing about God and I'm
- 7:34Speaker 2: talking about God, not.
- 7:36Speaker 1: Jesus, not the Holy Spirit, God the Almighty, He made everything.
- 7:41Speaker 1: Think about the space, think about the ocean. We know
- 7:44Speaker 1: more about our space than we know about our ocean.
- 7:47Speaker 1: My point is is that God Almighty, we can never
- 7:56Speaker 1: understand what's on that it's mind. I'm not gonna say he,
- 8:02Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say she, even though it does say Father, right,
- 8:08Speaker 1: But we got God, Jesus in the Holy Spirit. That's
- 8:12Speaker 1: what the Embra show really believes in. So let's dive
- 8:17Speaker 1: deeper because I'm gonna tell you more about this Jesus.
- 8:21Speaker 1: And I don't know how much time we have left,
- 8:23Speaker 1: but we're gonna We got plenty of time. So we're
- 8:33Speaker 1: talking about Jesus not being so peace corps. Everybody thinks
- 8:38Speaker 1: he's a hippie, right, like people that don't really read
- 8:41Speaker 1: about the Gospels of Jesus. Right, You gotta dig deep
- 8:47Speaker 1: in some of these too. I used to write these
- 8:50Speaker 1: verses out.
- 8:51Speaker 2: I used to.
- 8:52Speaker 1: I used to read the Bible, and each verse I
- 8:55Speaker 1: would write out, and then I would write it over
- 8:57Speaker 1: and over so I could see it, you know, And
- 9:02Speaker 1: that's one way of learning. It's I'd highly suggest it
- 9:07Speaker 1: ive give it a shot.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Jesus spoke to them all.
- 9:12Speaker 1: He said, the Bible says God's house will be a
- 9:15Speaker 1: place where people come together to pray. Let's go, but
- 9:19Speaker 1: you have changed it into a place where robbers meet.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Blind people went to meet Jesus in the yard of
- 9:29Speaker 1: the temple. People who could not walk very well also
- 9:36Speaker 1: went there. Jesus caused them all to become well. The
- 9:41Speaker 1: leaders see this is where not everybody like Jesus now
- 9:44Speaker 1: the verse fifteen Matthew, Chapter twenty one.
- 9:47Speaker 2: The leaders of the priests and the teachers.
- 9:50Speaker 1: Of God's law saw all the powerful things that Jesus did.
- 9:54Speaker 1: They also saw children in the yard of the temple
- 9:57Speaker 1: who were shouting, welcome, We pray that God will bless you,
- 10:01Speaker 1: son of David. All these things caused the important Jews
- 10:07Speaker 1: to become very angry. How many times in your life
- 10:11Speaker 1: have you become very angry, whether it be because you've
- 10:16Speaker 1: been mistreated, or you're looking at something that you wish
- 10:20Speaker 1: you were, something that you wish you had, something that
- 10:23Speaker 1: you wish you could do, and you're sitting there and
- 10:27Speaker 1: Jesus is in that same kind of parable. Think about
- 10:32Speaker 1: that for a second. Jesus did all these miracles. You
- 10:37Speaker 1: couldn't even put it in a book enough. How many
- 10:39Speaker 1: miracles he actually did in his ministry before they killed him.
- 10:44Speaker 2: You just couldn't.
- 10:45Speaker 1: You had five hundred witnesses, eyewitnesses seeing Jesus Christ.
- 10:51Speaker 2: Also rise from the dead.
- 10:55Speaker 1: And actually be alive after three days after he died,
- 11:00Speaker 1: said that he was going to die, and in three
- 11:03Speaker 1: days he was going to be alive, and it happened.
- 11:08Speaker 2: So he's a man that's actually of his word. He's honest,
- 11:11Speaker 2: he's he's the truth.
- 11:14Speaker 1: None of us could be the truth. We've all lied.
- 11:17Speaker 1: Let's just be honest. We need to be more like Jesus. Amen,
- 11:22Speaker 1: because the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of John,
- 11:25Speaker 1: the disciples that were really close to Jesus, is what
- 11:29Speaker 1: you really want to read, because that's what we will
- 11:32Speaker 1: be if we continue to grow closer to Jesus. And
- 11:38Speaker 1: I got really passionate there. The Holy Spirit was there.
- 11:42Speaker 1: I just want to highly encourage anybody. I got three minutes,
- 11:45Speaker 1: and it's interesting. I'm a very time kind of person.
- 11:50Speaker 1: I'd be looking at time and I see angel numbers,
- 11:53Speaker 1: and exactly when I came back back from the Bible
- 11:56Speaker 1: app onto the recording app it was three six scene
- 12:00Speaker 1: and I want you to do some homeworker, not some homework,
- 12:04Speaker 1: but a little assignment to look up John three point sixteen.
- 12:09Speaker 2: Just look it up.
- 12:12Speaker 1: It's everything that we were basically just talking about tonight.
- 12:17Speaker 1: And I say that because I am a man that
- 12:20Speaker 1: believes that everything happens for a reason, especially now that
- 12:27Speaker 1: I follow Christ.
- 12:27Speaker 2: I already see it.
- 12:29Speaker 1: I already see what's going to happen, just like Jesus
- 12:33Speaker 1: saw a right that when he was going to die.
- 12:37Speaker 1: He didn't know exactly who was going to betray him,
- 12:40Speaker 1: like Judas, he didn't know it was going to be Judas,
- 12:45Speaker 1: but eventually it came to a vision he did and
- 12:49Speaker 1: he didn't even he didn't even tell. At the last supper,
- 12:55Speaker 1: he just said that he knew that one would betray him.
- 12:59Speaker 1: He already knew who it was, but he didn't know
- 13:08Speaker 1: exactly when it was going to take place, but he
- 13:13Speaker 1: knew it was coming, you know. And having that be
- 13:22Speaker 1: something that I applied to my life, because there's been
- 13:26Speaker 1: plenty of times I felt like I've died and come
- 13:30Speaker 1: back to life, and that has nothing to do with me.
- 13:33Speaker 1: I'm not going to boast in that today. No sir,
- 13:37Speaker 1: no ma'am. What this is is a product of the
- 13:42Speaker 1: Holy Spirit and me accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord
- 13:45Speaker 1: and Savior when I was sixteen years old, got baptized
- 13:50Speaker 1: at twenty two, started following Jesus at the age of
- 13:54Speaker 1: thirty six. It's a transition. It doesn't all just happen overnight.
- 13:59Speaker 1: You don't want to be fooled. I got one minute
- 14:02Speaker 1: to be when you go to church and you hear
- 14:06Speaker 1: some of these pastors, especially on TV, that you can
- 14:11Speaker 1: be instantly healed.
- 14:14Speaker 2: You're not Jesus.
- 14:17Speaker 1: He has given us certain powers and certain authorities, and
- 14:20Speaker 1: there are times where I do feel as if that
- 14:23Speaker 1: can take place.
- 14:27Speaker 2: But the love that God has for us we can
- 14:30Speaker 2: give away.
- 14:33Speaker 1: And what I love about having my own podcasts, no guests,
- 14:37Speaker 1: no nothing but me and the Holy Spirit, no interruptions.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Thank you for pressing play. This is the Ember Show
- 14:48Speaker 1: and I hope that you have a blessed day, a
- 14:50Speaker 1: blessed afternoon, or a blessed evening. And remember God loves
