[From Darkness, Death, and Weakness TO Light, Life, and Strength.]
"And THE GRAVES (the Cover of darkness) were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves AFTER HIS RESURRECTION,..." (Mat 27:52-53)
~ What is Resurrection?
IT IS THE POWER OF CREATION MADE AVAILABLE TO THE SAINTS THROUGH FAITH IN THE CROSS OF CHRIST!
It is the power of God working out or that "break open" the cover of Darkness and Death unto Light and Life. "In him was life; and the life was the light of men." (John 1:4. Also read Gen 1:1-3). Him that hath the power to raise Lazarus from the dead, has risen with all of the saints which slept from the graves. His resurrection is our deliverance!
~ How do we now tap into this power?
"DEATH and LIFE are IN the POWER OF THE TONGUE: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." (Prov 18:21)
THIS RESURRECTION POWER IS NOW IN YOUR TONGUE OF FAITH! When you do as Jesus did and commanded (e.g, the COMMUNION, the "Washing of feet": a servant-leader, etc), you will receive the same results, as you grow, exercise and develop your faith.
Now, let me take you through step by step on how Christ used His/the power of creation in His tongue from John 11:34-44. [Note that these are the exact Word of Life from Jesus in raising Lazarus up from the grave] -
"Where have ye laid him?"; "Take ye away the stone."; "Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?"; "Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me."; Lazarus, come forth."; "Loose him, and let him go."
... and His tongue (Words) commanded the deliverance of Lazarus!
AS WE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW IN THE (VISIBLE) FOOTSTEPS OF JESUS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES, WE ALSO WILL DO GREATER THAN ALL HE DID. KEEP EXERCISING YOUR FAITH!
# He is Risen!
Has anyone asked you why we say "He is risen!"?
"For God so loved the world, that HE GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
God gave Jesus for our deliverance. And every single moment we think about this, we are full of joy, peace, love, etc, (that is, the Fruit of the Spirit), which we then offer up in worship and praise to God! That is ALL God need from you and I - OUR PRAISE AND WORSHIP OF HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH, FILLED UP WITH LOVE, JOY, PEACE, FAITH, ETC IN OUR SPIRITS.
Today, we celebrate the whole victory we have IN Jesus! This is our reason for His resurrection!!! HAPPY RESURRECTION SUNDAY!!!
