    Palm Sunday: The Sound of the King

    We are living in a “kairos” moment - a window of time where heaven is intersecting with earth in a profound way. To help us understand where we are going, we can look back at one of the most strategic and prophetic demonstrations in world history: the Triumphant Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem (Matthew 21; Mark 11; John 12).

    This wasn’t just a parade. It wasn’t a “PR” campaign for a new rabbi. It was a prophetic act of war and a legal claim to a throne. When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on that donkey, He wasn’t just fulfilling a nice sentiment; He was carrying out a blueprint written in heaven before the foundations of the world.

    A King, but Not as They Expected

    In the ancient world, symbolism was very important to rulers, just as it is today. When Jesus approached Jerusalem, He chose His “ride” carefully. He didn’t come on a warhorse. In the culture of His day, a king returning from a conquest would ride a stallion, signaling “I have subdued my enemy.” But a king coming in peace, or coming to offer a covenant, rode a young donkey. By choosing the colt, Jesus was making a dual declaration:

    • I am your King.

    • I am coming as the Prince of Peace to serve and to save, not to slaughter.

    The people were shouting “Hosanna!” which literally means, “Save us now!” They were looking for a political insurgent to break the back of Roman tyranny. But Jesus was looking at a much older, much darker tyranny - the spirit of death and the legal claim of sin over humanity. He wasn’t just entering a city; He was entering the “courtroom of heaven” to finalize the greatest legal victory in history.

    Old Testament Pictures

    There is an old rhyme regarding the Scriptures: the New is in the Old contained, and the Old is in the New explained. This moment was the “Amen” to centuries of prophetic promises.

    The most direct Old Testament “picture” we have of it is found in Zechariah 9:9: “Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your King comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”

    God had given Israel an unmistakable sign to look for, telling them exactly what the arrival of the Messiah would look like. When Jesus crested the Mount of Olives on that donkey, it was a physical manifestation of a 500-year-old word. It was God saying, “I keep My promises.”

    The Selection of the Lamb

    There is another striking prophetic layer here. The Triumphant Entry occurred on the 10th of the month of Nisan. According to the Law of Moses in Exodus 12, this was the exact day on which each Israelite household was commanded to choose its Passover lamb. They would take the lamb into their home for four days to inspect it for blemishes before it was sacrificed.

    As the people were bringing their literal lambs into their homes in Jerusalem, the Lamb of God was walking into His “home” - the Temple. For four days, the Pharisees and Sadducees “inspected” Him with questions and traps, only to find no blemish in Him. He was the perfect sacrifice, entering the city at the exact moment the clock of destiny struck twelve.

    Why We Celebrate Today

    So, why does this matter for us in the 21st century? Why should we wave palm branches and talk about this on Palm Sunday?

    1. It is a Celebration of Christ’s Governmental Authority

    Palm Sunday is a reminder that Jesus is the rightful King of the nations. The palm branches weren’t just pretty decorations; they were symbols of victory and national identity. When we celebrate today, we are declaring that Jesus has the right to rule our families, our cities, and our nation. We are joining our voices with those of old, saying, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord” (Mark 11:19)!

    2. It Reminds Us to Discern the Times

    One of the saddest verses in the Bible is when Jesus weeps over Jerusalem shortly after this entry, saying they “did not recognize the time of [their] visitation” (Luke 19:44).

    Celebrating Palm Sunday and other biblical occurrences reminds us to keep our spiritual senses sharp. We don’t want to be like the religious elite who were so stuck in their traditions that they missed God standing right in front of them! We celebrate what Christ did then, to stay in alignment with what Holy Spirit is doing now.

    3. It Prepares Us for Christ’s Second Entry

    Finally, we celebrate because this first “humble” entry was the precursor to a second “glorious” entry. The first time, He came on a donkey. The next time, the Bible says He’s coming on a white horse (Revelation 19). His eyes will be like flames of fire, and on His thigh will be written: “King of Kings and Lord of Lords” (verses 12-19). Palm Sunday is our “rehearsal.” We are practicing the atmosphere of heaven, and we are seeding the earth with the praise that will one day rise from all creation to greet our King when He returns to take His place over all the earth.

    A Call to Alignment

    Don’t let this Palm Sunday just be another “religious holiday” where you grab a piece of greenery and go to lunch. Use this day to reset your “watchman” stance. Ask yourself: Is Jesus truly my King inwardly? Have I laid down my “garments” - my reputation, my agenda, my will - at His feet so He can ride on them? When we shout “Hosanna,” we aren’t just asking for salvation; we are acknowledging His Lordship. We are saying, “Lord, rule in our day! Bring your Kingdom alignment to the earth!”

    Let’s be people who know the sound of our King. Let’s be people who don’t just watch the parade, but who clear the way for His glory to enter our generation.

    Pray with me:

    Father, we come before You today in the mighty Name of Jesus, the King of Glory. We thank You that You are the Architect of Time and that nothing in our lives - and nothing in our nation - is a surprise to You. Just as You instructed the disciples to go and untie the colt because “The Lord has need of it,” we ask that You would untie and loose prophetic destinies in our lives today.

    We repent for the instances when we have been like the religious leaders - blind to the times of our visitations from You. We ask for “eyes to see” and “ears to hear” what the Spirit is saying to the Ekklesia in this hour. Lord, we lay down our “garments” - our own reputations, our own agendas, and our own comfort - at Your feet. We make a highway for You to ride into our families, our cities, and our government.

    Let the “Hosanna” roar rise up in us again. Not just as a song, but as a legal demand for Your Kingdom to be established on the earth. We welcome You, Lion of Judah, to take Your seat of authority over every mountain of influence in our nation. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

    Our decree:

    Based on the authority of the Word of God and the finished work of Jesus, our King, make the following declarations over your life:

    • I decree that Jesus Christ is the rightful Lord and Governor over my life, my household, and my nation.

    • I decree that every “closed gate” in my life must now lift up its head, for the King of Glory is coming in (Psalm 24).

    • I decree that the “religious spirit” that seeks to silence the praise of the church is broken; my voice will not be silenced, and my worship will clear the way for His presence.

    • I decree that just as Jesus entered Jerusalem to fulfill the Law, His Kingdom is now entering my situation to bring divine order and justice.

    • I decree that I am in alignment with the “Kairos” time of God, and I will not miss the day of my visitation.

    • I decree that the “Peace” of the King - the Shalom that destroys the authority of chaos - is now ruling in my heart and my home.

      The Hinge that Turns the Door of History

      Several years back, I was visiting with a pastor in his office after speaking for him at a conference. I’m sure I spoke on some aspect of prayer, applying it prophetically to the nation and encouraging the people to intercede. I probably also led in some passionate prayer. He said to me, “You are called to the remnant, aren’t you?” I really didn’t know what he was implying, but He didn’t seem critical when he said it, although I’ve never been invited back!

      I strive never to adopt an elitist mindset, but I do believe God has raised up a praying element of the church in America, of which I am part. It is true that God sometimes uses a smaller segment of the body of Christ to accomplish things for the majority.

      If you look throughout the Word, you’ll see that when darkness seems to be at its peak, God often doesn’t look for a massive, polished army to turn the tide. He looks for a “remnant”—a small, consecrated group of people who have refused to bow their knee to the spirit of the age.

      The Power of the Few

      In the economy of the Kingdom, God is never intimidated by numbers. In fact, He sometimes prefers the smaller number. Think about Gideon. He started with 32,000 men, but God whittled that number down to 300. Why? Because the heart of the remnant was more valuable to God than the size of the army (Judges 6-8).

      The Remnant Strategy

      Historically, the remnant has, at times, been God’s “Plan A.”

      • Noah and his family were a remnant that preserved the human race.

      • Elijah felt alone, but God reminded him that there was a remnant of 7,000 who had not bowed to Baal.

      • The early church began as a small upper-room remnant that eventually turned the world upside down.

      The remnant often functions as a spiritual seed. You don’t need a whole forest to start a new season; you just need a few seeds that are willing to die to their own agendas so that the life of God can spring forth. 

      A Modern-Day Watchman

      America is certainly in a “Gideon moment.” God has called a remnant to rise up and take their place on the wall as watchmen. This isn’t about being part of a “special club”; it’s about a deep, sacrificial commitment to see God’s purposes established on the earth. This group is characterized by a “Holy Spirit tenacity.” They don’t give up when the culture shifts; they dig their heels in and appeal to the Supreme Judge of the universe. When the remnant prays, they aren’t just tossing “bless me” prayers toward the ceiling. They are releasing the decrees of heaven, and using the “keys of the Kingdom” to bind and loose. This small, focused group becomes a "strike force" in the spirit, breaking open the way for a great awakening.

      God has been raising up a people who are “ekklesia-minded”—those who understand their legislative authority in the spirit. In sewing terms, a remnant isn’t just a leftover piece of fabric; it is a “representative sample” that carries the DNA of the whole. When a remnant stands in the gap for a nation, they aren’t just praying for themselves; they are anchoring a nation back to its original intent.

      We are living in a day when the “remnant” is being mobilized. If you feel like a lone voice in your family, your workplace, or your city, don’t be discouraged. You are part of God’s hidden reserve. He is about to use the small thing to confound the mighty. Maintain your position, stand in the gap, and watch what the Lord will do through a people who simply refuse to quit.

      “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.” (2 Chronicles 16:9)

      Remember, when we make decrees, we aren’t trying to convince God to do something; we are releasing His will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven. We are moving from petition only to governmental decrees. Keep standing in that authority. Remember, God doesn’t need a crowd to shift the atmosphere—He just needs hearts that refuse to back down. A remnant is often the hinge that turns the door of history. Stay on the wall, watchman! Remember, you’re not just a person with a prayer; you’re a legislator with a mandate.

      Your voice is the instrument that releases the “sound” of heaven into your earthly circumstances. Make the following declaration with me today, and also let it be our prayer:

      In the name of Jesus, and by the authority of the finished work of the Cross:

      • I take my seat in heavenly places as a member of God’s Ekklesia (Ephesians 2:6). I recognize that I am not an observer; I am a legal representative of the Kingdom of light, called for such a time as this (Esther 4:14).

      • I decree that the “Key of David” is active in my life, my family, and my nation. What this key has opened, no man or demon can shut; what this key has shut, no power of darkness can open (Isaiah 22:22; Revelation 3:7).

      • I bind and forbid every strategy of the enemy intended to cause delay, division, or distraction. I command the “squatter’s rights” of the enemy over my territory to be evicted by the blood of the Lamb (Revelation 12:11).

      • I loose and permit the plans of heaven to manifest. I call for the “divine recovery” of everything the enemy has stolen from me. I decree that the hidden reserves of God are being activated now.

      • I declare that I am part of a “Gideon company.” Though we may be few, we are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4). I align my heart with the remnant across this globe to release a sound of victory that shifts the atmosphere of my city and nation.

      • I announce that a great awakening is not just coming—it has begun, birthed through the prayers and decrees of the Ekklesia. I occupy my position on the wall as a watchman, and I will not be silent until God’s righteousness is seen in my land.

      Amen.

        “Deceivers Who Teach Clever Lies”

        Many spiritual leaders have been silenced by their caution of not being influenced by a political spirit. In their desire to stay out of politics, they stay out of policies. Consequently, those who should have the loudest voices regarding the moral issues of our day are largely silent, allowing the political spirit they despise to win. Ironic, isn’t it?

        I, too, have worked diligently over the years to avoid being overtaken by a political spirit. Though none of us are perfect, I have never allowed the deciding issue on any cause to be a political party. I vote and speak out based on which policy and or candidate aligns most closely with my biblical values. Avoiding a political spirit does not mean we must muzzle ourselves on issues or against what those in a particular political party are doing. Ephesians 4:15 tells us to “speak the truth in love.” Refusing to speak the truth is NOT love. The previous verse tells us why we MUST speak truth:  “And then our immaturity will end! And we will not be easily shaken by trouble, nor led astray by novel teachings or by false doctrines of deceivers who teach clever lies” (Ephesians 4:14).

        With this in mind, I must say that many in the Democratic Party have become anti-Christ and anti-American: a turn toward Marxism and socialism; an acceptance of globalism and its demand for loss of national identity and freedom; an opposition to biblical ideals and morality, accompanied by a dishonor - if not hatred - of God; an insatiable lust for power and wealth; these and more have defiled the party to a point of moral decay and deception perhaps beyond repair. Intellectual ideas and debate will not reform this party, for much of the decay is heart-related. Transformation must always precede reformation. 

        Democrats’ “sanctuary city” policies, meaning they will not turn a criminal over to ICE for deportation, have caused multiple murders and rapes around the nation. They would rather protect criminal illegal aliens than protect American citizens. Their latest victim was 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman, a student at Loyola University in Chicago, who was shot and killed by Biden’s illegal alien, Jose Medina-Medina. 

        Medina was allowed into our nation by Biden in 2023, arrested shortly thereafter for shoplifting, and released back onto the street by Democrat policies, enabling him to kill this innocent young lady. It took Illinois Governor Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Johnson four days before they were shamed into making a lame statement. Why? They don’t care. The potential of votes to keep them in power is more important than this young lady’s life. This is also why Democrats fight so desperately against the SAVE Act and to defund ICE. Chicago alderwoman Maria Hadden blamed the shooting on the young students being at the “wrong place” at the “wrong time.”

        “Gorman’s family said in a statement that they were ‘gravely disappointed by the policies and failures that allowed this individual to remain in a position to commit this crime.’ 

        “‘When systems fail — whether through release decisions, lack of coordination, or unwillingness to act — the consequences are not abstract. They are real,’ the family said in a statement. ‘And in our case, they are permanent. This case must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of both state and federal law. There can be no gaps, no shortcuts, and no second chances that put others at risk. Accountability must be complete.’

        “An attorney representing Gorman’s family also released a statement, saying in part, ‘Sheridan was 18. She had her entire life ahead of her - her education, her future, her family, the countless lives she would have touched. All of that was taken in a moment, and there is no way to repair that loss.’”(1)

        Tragedies such as these continue to repeat themselves, yet the policies that allow them remain. The possibility of 20 million votes is just too much to lose. Regarding another Democrat policy, the refusal to fund DHS, conservative political commentator Benny Johnson says:

        “I spoke with over a dozen TSA agents today. None of them have been paid in 2 months. Here’s what they told me:

        ‘I had to sell my car to pay my mortgage.’

        ‘I work 12-hour shifts and don’t see my kids. Now I can’t even afford to buy my family dinner.’

        ‘I’m going to have to quit this month and find another job.’

        ‘My wife had to go back to work.’

        ‘I can’t afford basic groceries.’

        ‘I have no more savings left.’

        ‘This makes no sense. ICE is funded through 2030. Democrats are just punishing us.’

        “One thing became clear after today: Democrats targeting TSA is morally depraved. It hurts passengers and law enforcement alike. Politicians should NOT be able to destroy innocent people’s lives to score cheap political theater points. Democrats are evil for this. They just want to see Americans suffer to protect illegals and illegal voting.”(2)

        I do not consider allowing illegal entry into our nation, murdering innocent young girls, and destroying the livelihoods of hard-working Americans as political issues. They are moral issues caused by unprincipled, power-hungry, and immoral politicians. 

        What can be done about this injustice when so many Americans seem to be blinded to it, kept in the dark by a lying media? I remind you of the words of John Locke, echoed by George Washington on a flag: 

        “And where the body of the people or any single man, is deprived of their right, or is under the exercise of a power without right, and has no appeal on earth, then they have a liberty to appeal to heaven…”(3)

        Only God’s power, released through a third great awakening, can save and transform our nation. Only appealing to heaven can produce this. Let’s appeal for it now.  

        Pray with me:

        Father, John Locke considered You the ultimate arbiter of justice. We agree with this; Your Word tells us justice is one of the foundations of Your throne. We here in America have given evil and corruption a foothold. This is now so entrenched that we could never eradicate it without Your supernatural help. We have repented, and now we appeal to heaven.

        We appeal to You for our third great awakening, which will remove unrighteousness and corruption in our government. This revival will restore truth, conscience, integrity, and honor for You and Your ways. We ask that this awakening intensifies and quickly removes evil indoctrination from our schools, replacing it with true learning, common sense, respect, and integrity. We ask that our corrupted media be totally exposed and lose its credibility. Awaken the American people to their lies and distorted reporting.

        And awaken the church. Give spiritual leaders in America both the desire and moral strength to stand for truth and against evil. Help them see that speaking out on important issues of life and morality, even in the context of government, is not politics. Help the American church reclaim its voice once again and become the pillar of truth You need her to be. We appeal for these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.

        Our decree:

        As ambassadors of Christ, we will speak the truth in love, protecting Americans from “deceivers who teach clever lies.” ( Ephesians 4:14-15)
