He lives!

Today marks the greatest miracle in history....the cornerstone of the Christian faith...the reason for our joy ----- He has risen!  Are you aware of the weight of those simple three words?  Do you realize they breathe LIFE into your soul?  He has risen!  How many men have come and gone in this world but only only has conquered the gates of hell and death's sting?  He has risen!  We are honored to serve a LIVING God.  One that came in obedience, love and truth so that we might know Him.  One that broke the bondage and cancelled our debts.  He has risen!  Can you feel His power?  Without Him we would be doomed to destruction.  The inner turmoil we face from daily pressures and conflict would eventually overtake us.  We would be hopeless in a world full of violence and sin and sickness.  But instead....we can trust that BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.  We know that WE ARE FREE.  Through His love and example we have hope for HEALING, RESTORATION AND DELIVERANCE.  He has risen!  Do you know Him?  Not just of Him but really know Him?  He is alive and craving a relationship with you.  The same power that raised Christ from the dead is available in your own life once you receive Him.  The power to overcome emotions, fear, trials, sickness.  It is ready to reside in you!  Our reason to celebrate this Easter is not some freak oversized bunny that bears some chicken eggs....IT IS HIM!  Take time to honor Him, celebrate Him, love Him....give Him your heart today.  If you have never done so, now is the time.  We are promised that if we confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts that He is the son of God then WE WILL BE SAVED! 

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  Romans 10:9

"Lord, today I give you my heart....I confess that Jesus is the son of God and was raised from the dead and lives today.  I ask you to come and live inside of me that I might know you.  I want to know your life giving power and I realize that without you, my life is not complete.  Forgive me my sins and all the times I have lived for myself instead of you and help me today to build a relationship with you.  I thank you for your sacrifice Jesus and for opening the way for me to know God.  Help me to grow in my faith and understanding of what you have done for me.  In the name of Jesus, Amen"
