Happy Resurrection Day!!! All week I asked the Lord what I was to share on this glorious day• Then He brought to my remembrance a song we used to sing on Easter Sunday. I've been singing it all week. It's a powerful song if we take the words into our hearts.
With the uncertainty of what's ahead in our world this song helps bring the focus completely on Jesus. Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. I hear people say often they don't think they can face tomorrow. But if we keep our focus and hope in Jesus we will know that because He lives we CAN face tomorrow.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds my future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
I'm going to interrupt the song right here. Because He lives, all fear is gone. Wow! ALL fear is gone! If I truly believe He lives and lives for me my fear will be gone. When the anointing of Jesus fills our minds, we see the heavens open up and fresh revelation will flow. You will then perceive the visions of God but you have to come to Him without fear and know that He is a good Father that keeps you from ALL harm.
Because I know He holds my future. It is a step of faith and total belief in our Savior for us to be able to say that we know He holds our future and our future is good. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." He holds our future and it is full of hope and peace. We rest in the anointing and see things we have never seen. We hear things we have never heard. Through the power of the resurrection, we can KNOW our future is secure without fear.
And life is worth the living just because He lives. Throughout the course of this last year, we may have had the thoughts that we are ready for Jesus to return. I thought that a year ago. From the time I was a little girl I remember people saying, "Come quickly, Lord Jesus!" I do know that the Bible talks about being ready and wanting His return yet a heart of fear about the future will also make us want to escape and want the easy way out. "What's the use living like this?" attitude. I have changed how I think about that. I am excited for the outpouring that we will have an opportunity to be a part of. I want a clear vision of what the Lord is doing in these last days. In our authority over the enemy, I see Believer's taken back what is ours, taking dominion over this life and life is worth the living because He lives inside me! I don't want disillusionment but clear vision seeing heaven open and His promises being fulfilled.
Here is the reason we can live in victory if we have Him!
God sent His son they called Him, Jesus
He came to love, heal and forgive
He lived and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds my future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
When this crisis started a year ago, I was so concerned for my grandchildren and what their futures would be like. I wasn't thinking that His promises were true for them, I was just seeing the control in our government and all the things the innocent children were having to give up and not be able to have a childhood like we did. Then the Lord stopped me short and reminded me that He understands the children more than we do. He let me know that He has His hand upon them and that they would be okay since they were born for such a time as this.
How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy he gives
But greater still that calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days because He lives
Amen and hallelujah that He is taken care of our little ones when we don't know what to do next for them!
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds my future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
I know this is just a song someone wrote but it's a song given by the Holy Spirit to let us know we have EVERYTHING because He lives!
Today we celebrate His resurrection. He shed His blood for us, He went to the cross for us.
He lived and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
What does that mean for us? It means that right now, no matter what is happening in the world around He is our hope, our peace, our joy, because of His great love for us! We have EVERYTHING that pertains to life and Godliness. There is NOTHING lacking! We choose to live in lack, doubt, fear and our own understanding when we choose to live by the world's standards.
Take time to listen to His heart. Choose to spend some time just focusing on Him, talking to Him without any distractions. Seek His heart for you. Praise Him. Worship Him. Rejoice because He is risen. The answers we are looking for are not on this earth, they are in His throne room. Take time to visit Him today in a very intimate way and let Him clarify His thoughts and plans for you, for your family, for the church family. Let's come together and worship Him and take back what the enemy is attempting to steal. We are victorious and
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds my future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
Have a wonderous day celebrating Him on His resurrection day!!!
