• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: today and receive the power we need to live healthy.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Vibrant lives.

  Speaker 2: The Triumphal Entree. We'll get into that in just a moment,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: but first I'd like to say welcome to you and
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: ask you to please go over to your Daily Portion

  Speaker 2: Your Daily Portion book and let us know where you

  Speaker 2: This is one of the ways that we continue to
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: build faith in fellowship. Let me just say welcome to you.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: There are so many places around the world, thirty online platforms,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: two hundred radio stations, and all kinds of devices where
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: you call out to those devices and say, play your
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Daily Portion or whatever the command happens to be. Shortwave radio, listen, satellite,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and on normal television one station. I'm thankful, and so
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I'm asking you to please just continue to pray that
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: the Gospel of the Kingdom will be completely preached into
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: all the world for a witness, because we're looking forward
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: to the day that Jesus Christ will come. He's coming soon,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: brothers and sisters, and you can have a part to
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: play in it. Just continue to share God's word. Okay,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: let's pray and get underway. Father, thank you for opening
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: up your mind toward us so we can have your mindset.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Please help us to see what you see, live according
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: to the way Jesus lived, and make an impact on
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: this world, transforming lives in Jesus' name. I pray, amen
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: and they men again the triumphal entry. Let me ask
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: you a question if Jesus rode on a donkey into
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: your town, would you allow him to take care of
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: you and live in your life style? Let me say
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: it again. Okay, So if Jesus if not a donkey,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: maybe you don't live somewhere where donkeys where. That makes sense.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: If Jesus drove up in a Honda in a Honda Accord.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: He drove up in a Honda Accord. The windows are
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: down and he's playing Blessed Assurance on his speaker box.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: He's playing Blessed Assurance on a speaker box. He's driving
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: into your town. If you're in Jamaica, he's driving into
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Kingston Land. We love like. In Jamaica Land, we love like.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: If you're in New York City, he's driving into Times
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Square and it seems that everything has hushed because there
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: is this parade and people are like, wait a minute,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: is that Jesus? Would you allow him to ride into
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: your life? Would you allow him to ride into your
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: habits on the internet? Would you look at would you consume?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Would you allow him, when you have in your headphones
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to ride into those things that you listen to while
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: you're exercising. Would you allow him if you're on the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: airplane and you're watching that tiny little screen in front
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: of you, and you're just waiting for the trip to end,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: and you're watching television or some movie. Would you allow
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: him to ride into that into your secret thoughts? Would
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: you allow him to enter into that space and do
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: whatever he would choose to do, or would you be
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: ashamed of what he would see if he rode into
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: that space. I think we need to make this stuff
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: real to us. This is not just about what happened
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: back then, but what God wants to do in our
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: lives like today on the twenty fifth of August today,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: in our lives. And so we read now with that
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: kind of in our minds. From the Bible, Book of Mark,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: chapter eleven, beginning at verse one, the Bible reads, and
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: when they came nigh to Jerusalem, see he's filling the
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: blank here where you live? Ah is it Geneva? And
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: where you live? Where is it? He came when they
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: came nigh to Jerusalem, unto beth Fhaji and Bethany at
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the Mount of Olives, He sendeth forth two of his disciples,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: and seth unto them. Go your way into the village
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: over against you as soon as ye be entered into it,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: ye shall find a cult tide? Is it a vehicle?
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Is it a cult tide? What apply it to your time?
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Right now? Where varon never a man sat? Loose him
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: and bring him? Is that thing? Is that beast? Is
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: that dedicated for the purpose of whatever Jesus is about
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: to do? Verse three? And if any man say unto you,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: why do ye this? Say ye that the Lord hath
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: need of him, and straightway he will send him hither.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: And they went their way and found the colt tied
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: by the door without in a place where two ways met,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: and they loose him. And a certain of them that
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: stood there said unto him, what do ye loosing the colt?
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: So Jesus knew exactly what was going to happen, and
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: he gave his disciples the answer that they would need.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: So Jesus understood in the future what they would need
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: right now. Did you get that Jesus understood in the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: future what they would need right now? Are they now seeing?
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, Jesus is not an ordinary man. And
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: so of course, just like Jesus had foretold, they said, command,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: and they will let it go. And then they brought
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Verse seven the cult to Jesus and cast their garments
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: on him, and he sat upon him. Jesus is about
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: to get the royal treatment. And many spread their garments
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: in the way, and others cut down branches of trees
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: and strawed them in the way, and they went before him.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Jesus is a king. Y'all, listen to what's happening. And
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: they followed and cried, Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: in the name of the Lord? Is this the treatment
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: that Jesus gets in your life? Does he get the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: royal treatment when he rides into your space? At just
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: about six and a half minutes into our broadcast this morning,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: does Jesus get the royal treatment now that he's riding
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: into your mindset, like you're thinking about Jesus coming into
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: your life? Are you welcoming him or you are afraid
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: of what he will ask you to do? Are you
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: allowing him to go into those dark places in your
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: memory and clear them out and teach you how to
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: forgive those who have trespassed against you? Are you welcoming
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: in Jesus into your life? With blessed is the one
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: in the name of the Lord Hosanna in the highest
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: is that your response? Verse eleven. And Jesus entered into
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Jerusalem and into the temple, and when he looked around
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: upon all the things, and now it was even tide.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: And then he went out unto Bethany with the twelve
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: he went there. And so the question I have again is, well,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: what happens when Jesus rides into your life? What does
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: he see there? Does he see a welcome place for
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: you to build together, to eat and drink with Jesus,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Or does he find a place where you're like, God,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: could you come back later. I'm kind of in the
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: middle of some thing that you probably wouldn't want to
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: do with me. Let me read this from the book
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Desire of Ages, page five hundred and sixty nine. Five
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: hundred years before the birth of Christ, the prophet Zechariah
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: foretold the coming of the King to Israel. This prophecy
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: is now to be fulfilled. We just read about it.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: He who has so long refused royal honor now comes
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: to Jerusalem as the promised heir to David's throne. That's
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the end of the quote, and so there were times
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: that Jesus really sort of shied away from people exalting him.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: He just was about the work of transformation, transforming people's lives.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: But what he wanted this time, this time, he wanted
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: the people to know that the Bible did foretell, the
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Bible did foretell of the one who would fulfill the
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: prophecy that after Zedekiah, that was the last heir of
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: David to have the throne. After Zedekiah vacated the throne,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: there was no more. There was no more king, no
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: more king. And they said that there would be a
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: king that would would be the one like the one
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: that we've been waiting for. And Jesus said, Okay, now
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: is time. It's time. Everything needs to be positioned, everything
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: needs to be dedicated, everything needs to be set up
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: so that the people will know that God has kept
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: his promise, that the one who has laid back for
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: a little bit is now ascending the throne, and eventually
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: he will ascend the universe's throne and we will say, lo,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: this is our God. We have waited for him, and
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: he will save us. But in the meantime, is he
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: on the throne of your heart? Make it a great day.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it a great day. Yeah,
