Memory Verse: Romans 6:23

Sunday, April 4, 2010

Blessings, Friends & Lifers! I have exciting news. Jesus Christ rose from the grave this morning. By the time your eyes opened today, Jesus had already conquered death and the grave. How's that for a busy night? So let's remember to celebrate this great victory. Go to the church of your choice and take advantage of this special moment. Let your praise be louder and more exuberant than ever before. He deserves it. He's worthy.

The challenge today is to understand what all this means. First of all, you are no longer a slave to the bondage of sin. You can choose to say no. Also, when the "accuser" comes to remind God of your guilt, Jesus' blood cleanses you of the evidence levied against you. Second, when Jesus walked out of that tomb, He walked out with all authority in His hands (Matt. 28:18). And He gave us that authority. Therefore, walk in your authority when the devil tempts you with the sins of his world. Walk in authority when your mind is distracted by the cares of life, or when the voice of discouragement is protesting against you. If you have authority over something, is it submitted to you, or are you submitted to it? So live free from the world's traps and strongholds, because those things only lead to death (Rom. 6:23). What would be much easier is to choose life. Life in Christ is always the smartest choice. You can choose Him today and live. After all.....He lives!!!!

Prayer:
Hallelujah! Lord, You reign forever! You've conquered death and the grave just for me. I will always be Yours. I claim authority in Your name over the devil and his works. Now I live, because You live!!! Amen...
