A great crowd was waiting and expecting Jesus to come. Can you feel the great anticipation among them? Who was in this crowd? Can you picture the lame, blind, possessed and people stricken with diseases that were beyond all cures?
The Bible doesn’t give anything on what the crowd may have been thinking. So…Come with me as we envision the thoughts of this crowd.
I would like to introduce to you the best Father of all! God will never let you down. No matter what you are going through in this life and no matter what you have done or haven't done, He is here right now. Reach out and take His hand!
Matthew 10:23 says, " Jesus said to him, “[You say to Me,] ‘If You can?’ All things are possible for the one who believes and trusts [in Me]!”
We take a look at this scripture and think how ridiculous to say to Jesus if you can. Yet…don’t we think the same thing? After all, you did it for so and so but will you do it for me? Or…well, that doesn’t happen to everyone...just God’s elect!

So…let’s take a look at some women in the Bible.
Mary was chosen to be the mother of Jesus, the son of God. She was highly favored and blessed among women. Esther is a story of great hope! It is a cause greater than yourself. Hannah had an inner serenity in which her moods reflected God's light.
The task is never greater than the power that is within you.
What if God has other plans for you than what you had? I Thessalonians 5:24 says, "The One who calls you is faithful and He will do it.
Jesus identifies with us when we are forsaken by other people! Jesus was forsaken so we would be accepted and never be forsaken by God.
So…Come with me as we envision standing together in large crowds of people. Can you hear their shouts of Hosanna in the Highest? Can you feel the excitement in the air? Can you hear people whispering to each other and asking this question? Who is this man who comes in the Name of the Lord? So…I’m going to invite you to walk through this crowd together with me and imagine some of the people that may be in this crowd.
I kept thinking about all the situations in life that aren’t fair. Let’s face it. Life isn’t always fair…but God is. We don’t like trials in our life, do we? We would rather have God take us out of them instead of taking us through them! But God has promised to take us through them. If you are going through a trial, we invite you to listen and be encouraged by this powerful message.
James 1:1-2 says,“ Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials.
Whoa! That’s a tall order, isn’t it? I don’t know about you, but when I am in a deep dark trial, it’s so hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. How can we count it all joy when we are in a trial? Most of all how can we go through these trials and not lose our joy?
Having faith in God can accomplish the impossible. So…what mountain should we speak to? We encourage you to listen to this podcast and find out.
Are you speaking words of encouragement to each other or words of judgment and criticism? Are you complimenting other people that brightens their day or are you speaking doom and gloom to them? It's your choice! God loves you and so do we!
