Why - Hosanna!


Hosanna is the cry of praise or adoration that was shouted in recognition of the Messiah - Jesus Christ! Hosanna is a cry of salvation! A declaration of Praise!

When I come across people that I know and love and know they are lost....I whisper "Hosanna" to them. It also means "Save Now". I encourage you speak this to the lost....

I had lunch with a friend the other day....He is now saved! Its was a promise from God because I prayed for him for so many years...

His mother is a catholic and he is concerned because she would not go with him to church. She would only go to a catholic church and he is no longer a catholic. He reminded me that she has been a devout catholic all her life yet does not know anything about being saved. Her religion is a ritual to her. She does not know Christ as her personal Savior. When I prayed for her this morning I whispered "Hosanna" (Save now) ...... God can reveal all things to her personally, she does not have to change religion she just has to read her bible herself, speak to Christ herself, ask Him to save her by becoming her personal Savior...She needs to understand that the Priest is just there to preach the gospel...and he cannot save her....she has to make the request herself to Jesus alone...for her salvation. Just good deeds will not save her....

I've been listening to this song since Sunday morning and requested it for this coming Sunday morning....Its one of my favorite....

Hosanna!

"I see the King of Glory, coming on the clouds with fire
the whole earth shakes, the whole earth shakes
I see His love and mercy, washing over all our sin
the people sing, the people sing

Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest

I see a generation rising up to take their place
with selfless faith, with selfless faith
I see a near revival stirring as we pray and seek
we're on our knees, we're on our knees

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your Kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity.

Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosann in the highest!

If you have a chance....go to youtube.com and listen to it yourself..... "Hosanna by Hillsong"

It's powerful!
