Jesus Takes a Detour

James and John are offended at the Samaritan's treatment of Jesus. They ask to call down fire from heaven? Despite being surprised and inconvenienced, why does Jesus have a different attitude and rebuke the disciples? What is your attitude when you are "reprioritized" and people don't treat you as highly as you expect? 

Luke 9:51-56. 2:00 Why is there tension in the air? 06:15 Does Jesus know he will be rejected? 08:50 Why does the party assume they will be received by the Samaritans? 10:45 Why I love shortcuts. 12:50 Why James and John want to call down fire from heaven.14:10 Elijah and Ahaziah episode of commanding fire down. 2 Kings 1.    18:25 How do you respond when someone cancels on you? Man who cancelled on me irritated me. 21:00 I'm a lower priority than I think I should be. 22:00 My initial reaction is not the path to joy. Jesus shows us patience and humility brings maturity. 22:59 Listening prayer, interactive gratitude (These are part of the Immanuel Process or Immanuel journaling.  https://www.immanuelapproach.com  or https://immanueljournaling.com) 25:40 If I'm special to God I don't need for you to treat me special. 27:20 Are people prioritizing you lower than you would like? 31:30 Inconvenience of rejection. Jesus and his disciples take a detour. 32:40 Costs us more than we think it should. 33:20 Is God taking you on a detour? 36:40 Possible reasons why the Samaritans reject Jesus. 42:00 Anxiety, your imagination leaves out God with you. 45:00 Why would Father allow Jesus to be detoured? 47:45 Why do we go through testing? 51:30 Patience and Humility always required on a detour. Humble Reframe.
