Sermon by Scott Goddard
Matthew 21:1-11
21 And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village before you, and right away you will find a donkey tied and a colt with her. Untie them[a] and[b] bring them[c] to me. 3 And if anyone says anything to you, you will say, ‘The Lord needs them,’[d] and he will send them at once.” 4 Now this took place so that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,
6 So the disciples went[g] and did[h] just as Jesus directed them, 7 and[i] brought the donkey and the colt and put their[j] cloaks on them, and he sat on them. 8 And a very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them[k] on the road. 9 And the crowds who went ahead of him and the ones who followed were shouting, saying,
10 And when[n] he entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” 11 And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee!”
Right now my ministry is for someone. It’s for a certain type of person.
It’s for deniers.
I don’t care who you are.
You could be living on the streets and still be a denier. Just call me Uncle Sam, I want you!
It’s for the refusers.
It’s for the ungodly.
It’s for the arrogant.
It’s for the rich.
It’s for the powerful.
It’s for the confused.
It’s for the witches.
It’s for the sorcerers.
It’s for the cultists.
It’s for the satanist.
I’m not gonna let them go so easy. It’s for the suave and the “flawless”.
I’m cracking my knuckles, give me a crack at it.
I’ll say to them…… before you say anything, let me show you my God, and then… I’ll let you respond. I don’t believe it’s a time where the issue is belief. It’s a matter of denial.
In this day and age?
In this day and age you’re gonna stand there and tell me God’s not real. Christianity is completely foolish?
You’d have to create a whole new religion just to believe that.
He’s everywhere!
Hey ministers you know the crowds got the same Holy Ghost you do!
Hey older folks, the young folks have the Holy Ghost too!
Hey young folks, the old folks got it too!
Hey, 17 year old. Hey 25 year old. Your little brother- your little sister has the Holy Ghost or is set to receive it. That cousin that thinks your the best and would do anything for you. They’re looking at you. They are looking up to you. Oh be strong for them. Be the person they see in their minds eye. They’re counting on you. They look up to you… now don’t let them down.
Oh your worldly peers might want you- your colleagues might value your contributions to the company or the breadth of industry knowledge, but…
Oh Jesus,
There are those that need you. You were a light to them. You still are a light to them. There are people that want you, but then… there are people that NEED you. This isn’t a ministry of want, this is a ministry of need.
Where am I?
Where am I in my walk?
Well where am I going?
I’m walking, but have we stopped to ask where are we going? And what am I gonna do when I get there?
There are people reaching people today. Through the internet. Through books. Through YouTube. Through advertising. Through entertainment.
You can make a phone call. You can send a text. You can email.
But… the true definition of “reaching”… what’s the true definition? It is to extend out your arm….
And to create an action with your hand.
You just let them know, you can reach out that hand for them, and lay that hand upon their shoulder. That hand upon their head.
That’s reaching.
We shall lay hands upon the sick and they shall recover. That is, what is says. (Mark 16:18)
Nothing shall stand in the way of the One true God.
———————————-
I can only boycott so many places. But, hey I’ve got to get my cheeseburger. When I’m hungry it’s time to eat. If I have to walk through a pride flag draped all over my face when I walk through the door way of Shake Shack, it’s not gonna bother me. Because the Lord said I’m gonna eat and there’s only one God.
One Lord. One faith. And I will eat with gladness.
There are deniers, and then there are testifiers. I’m gonna testify! Are you gonna testify? Testify!
Hey Gods going to have a church!,............ and that church is going to have people who believe- people who admit the truth!
In this world you are like a fresh spring in a dry land. And how dry it is. Let the rain fall oh Lord.
——————————————————
It’s the people of God that is the real reason to be here. I’m telling you, whether anybody wants to admit it or not, this family of brothers and sisters is the family. This is eternal. Don’t be silly- If you don’t like someone here- well I hope you can fix it in your heart and mind, because…. well, you’re not getting rid of them. I’ll see you in heaven!… but by the mercy of God.
I’ll tell you my dad passed away in 2006, and before was converted and baptized and filled and passed on with the Lord. His sacrifice brought me to this truth. Had he not told me the truth he had come to find, I would not know it, I would not have experienced it. We owe so much to those who preached to us. Whoever it was. Never ever forget it. They gave you everything. They gave you all the land, all the treasure, all the freedom. They gave you the gospel.
I’ll tell you I’ve never felt closer to him than now.
So since I’ve suffered loss I feel like I can say this. If you’ve suffered loss. If you’re a pastor and have prayed. I know our earthly minds can’t handle it. But let me tell you, our spiritual mind can offer something great.
So, the answer to the big question.
Why do some people not get healed and leave us?
I’m telling you, they got the greatest healing of all time. …………..Because when you’re with Jesus …………..
He gives you complete wholeness. …………….
There’s no more death. There’s no more pain. …………..
I’m telling you, once you pass through, he makes everything alright.
You hear me, He’s gonna make it alright! He’s not gonna let go of you. You just stick with Him. Oh my Jesus. I love you.
When’s the last time you told Him you love Him? Just tell Him.
Now to our key scripture: Matthew 21:2-6
2 saying to them, “Go into the village before you, and right away you will find a donkey tied and a colt with her. Untie them[a] and[b] bring them[c] to me. 3 And if anyone says anything to you, you will say, ‘The Lord needs them,’[d] and he will send them at once.” 4 Now this took place so that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,
God sent His messengers and because they obeyed, you were called to his glorious salvation. You were blessed to hear the Word of Truth, the Gospel. How blessed you are!
The little colt Jesus rides..... Jesus brings along his momma so he wouldn’t be scared. That’s the Jesus I serve. (This is confirmed in Zechariah 9:9, written in only one gospel, Matthew, where the mother donkey is mentioned)
The people covered the colt with blankets. He was covered. Oh He was covered. Are you covered? Have you been covered? Covered with the Blood of Jesus? We need the Blood of Jesus upon our lives.
The disciples did as he was told to go call that little donkey. He was just a little boy. On this day he is our own... He's closer to us than we ever knew........
Oh little Colt
Your nature was that of a donkey, but somehow you were destined beyond your nature of stubbornness …
Oh little colt that you were chosen to be something more...... than just another donkey
Oh little colt, you were born to do something great… greater than any other donkey who would ever live
Oh little colt, little did you know that you would be chosen for such a time ?
Little colt did you know that there was a plan for you to be called from the place you were born and to be taken to a new venture?
Little colt did you know your moment would come where the very Lord himself would call you at attention to Himself, where you would see him face to face and feel his hand upon thee?
Oh little colt did you know that the Lord would be lifted up upon you for all to see? .......And you would walk into Jerusalem to fulfill prophecy? That which was spoken of in times long ago?
Oh little colt, it had to be you.
You are His, and you are His that He would rest upon you.
Oh little colt, did you know that you made the name of the Lord known to the people?!
Oh we talked a big game, we talk more than anyone, but now’s the time to make the play. To show yourself the victor. So show yourself the champion.
Your time is coming, it’s upon you. He’s gonna give you what you need. He knows you better than anyone. But we don’t realize.... or we have forgotten. Oh He knows every hair on your head. Oh little colt, the Lord has showed favor upon you, don’t pretend he didn’t. Just because it’s shabby and you’re not the high school quarter back or the captain of the cheerleading squad or the guy beatin deep blue at the chess table……. Jesus wants you. Don’t deny it. Don’t avoid it.
Verse 6
they went and did as Jesus had directed them.
Oh the Lord is gonna send you angels.
The Lord will send you the message.
Oh little Colt, the Lord is coming and He will secure your destiny. The destiny that leads with Him.
Hallelujah.
I hope you receive this today, and you just wait on Him. He will bring you to Himself.
