A Gentle Whisper -- Listening for the Voice of God Johnny Almond  

Victory Parade

 

 

Look, your King is coming to you. He is humble, riding on a donkey.

Most of the crowd spread their coats on the road ahead of Jesus,

and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

He was in the center of the procession, and the crowd all around him were shouting,

“Praise God for the Son of David! Bless the one who comes in the name of the LORD!

Praise God in highest heaven!” The entire city of Jerusalem was stirred as he entered.

MATTHEW 21:5, 8-10 NLT

 

 

Walk prayerfully on the parade route I have mapped out for you. I am the Way to the Truth of Life—free, real, rich, full, eternal life. The evil one steals enthusiasm, kills joy, and destroys influence—I guide you to a significant and fulfilling life. I am the Humble King who practiced downward mobility to save you. Walk in My steps—have My frame of mind and serve others. You are a beautiful work of art I envisioned long before your birth—yield to My Spirit brushstrokes on the canvas of your circumstances and be displayed for angels and saints to admire in heaven’s gallery.

 

Dance joyfully with praise that lasts—celebrating blessings I give. Avoid a fickle heart—calling Me king one day, deserting Me the next. Keep Me in the center of your life’s procession, bowing to nothing else. Give your Most Honored Guest a royal welcome every sunrise. Keep My joy alive in your heart every mile of the journey—let no cheap thrill compete with the ecstasy of My Presence. No matter how rough the road, be grateful—find reasons for thanks.

 

March in My triumphal procession leading to a bright future I promise.

I am your Personal Friend—I never let you down or run away.

I am the Pardoning Savior—I forgive your sins and set you free.

I am the Powerful God—I help you accomplish all I ask of you.

I am the Perfect Lamb—I redeem you from sin’s penalty and power.

I am the Drumbeat of hope—I fight for you until the battle’s over.

I am Alpha and Omega—I spoke the first word and I will have the last.

I am the Prophesied Messiah—I will win the last war and defeat evil.

 

One day you will wave palm branches along golden streets—until then, celebrate victories I give on the roads you travel today.
