The Resurrection Power of Jesus
Happy Resurrection Day! Dear Jesus, You are the Perfect Lamb, Beloved Son, Savior, Redeemer, Deliverer, Bread of Life, Only Begotten Son, King of Kings, Lord of Lords! You are worthy to be praised today and forever. What You did for the whole world will never be forgotten. I'm forever grateful that You, with no sin, became sin for all of us. You made a way for all the world to become right with God. "For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ." (2 Corinthians 5:21 NLT)
I pray that this good news goes out to the whole world and that many would come to know You today as their personal Savior, in Jesus' name!
If you're not saved, I'm urging you to believe and repent of your sins today. Everyone is born into sin and we are looking for love and acceptance. Let me tell you that Jesus is the only person who will ever fill the void that we all feel inside of us. He knows every hair on your head, every thought you are thinking right now, and He desires to save you and free you from the emptiness you feel. His offer of salvation isn't contingent upon what we've done or where we've been. The price for our salvation has been paid in full on the cross. I strayed away and tried to run away from God, but He kept pursuing me, He kept loving me, and He rescued me from so much sin.
In Acts 9:4-5, Jesus told Saul of Tarsus (later known as the Apostle Paul) that he was actually persecuting Jesus by not believing in Him, and that it was a difficult way to live. I urge you today to stop persecuting Jesus - stop running away from Him. You cannot hide from God. He will continue to be there, pursuing you, but you need to believe that He is good, and that He is for you and not against you. If you are questioning it today, just pray, "Jesus, reveal Yourself to me?!" He already knows you deeply, and He is calling you to know Him. Pray and receive His salvation today. I can't think of a better day than Resurrection Sunday to get saved! Amen !
For the believers, there is forgiveness and freedom from whatever sin maybe gripping you today. Maybe it's shame, fear, doubt, anxiety, anger, lust, idolatry, or something else. Jesus rose from the dead and gave us power through the Holy Spirit to live a resurrected life through Him. Let's not let sin and darkness drag us away from our perfect Savior. Let's fix our eyes on Jesus and His holiness today and say to Jesus, "Resurrect me from my shame, guilt, depression, and fear! It's Yours . . . I give it to You today. I repent, I receive Your forgiveness, and I pray that You free me from everything in my life that is not of You! Lord, in exchange for these sins I receive the dignity, peace, faith, joy, love, and purity that You want to give me. I pray that I can continue to pursue You, even when life gets hard, because You are worthy of my surrender and to have my whole heart!"
Christians, let's tap into the power of the Holy Spirit who lives in us so we can live a victorious life! I want to end with this verse: "The Spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, He will give life to your mortal bodies by the same Spirit living within you." (Romans 8:11 NLT)
This is good news! That the resurrection power lives in us! We can rise up above our circumstances and shine brightly for Jesus today and every day! Amen 🙏
