Power Of Easter

TPT… For we’ve been buried with Him into His death. Our “baptism into death” also means we were raised with Him when we believed in God’s resurrection power, the power that raised Him from death’s realm. This “realm of death” describes our former state, for we were held in sin’s grasp. But now, we’ve been resurrected out of that “realm of death” never to return, for we are forever alive & forgiven of all our sins! He canceled out every legal violation we had on our record & the old arrest warrant that stood to indict us. He erased it all—our sins, our stained soul—He deleted it all & they cannot be retrieved! Everything we once were in Adam has been placed onto His cross & nailed permanently there as a public display of cancellation. Then Jesus made a public spectacle of all the powers & principalities of darkness, stripping away from them every weapon & all their spiritual authority & power to accuse us. And by the power of the cross, Jesus led them around as prisoners in a procession of triumph. He was not their prisoner; they were His!

Glory to God! These scriptures should make it hard for a person that has experienced that Resurrection Life to sit still & be quiet!

Go ahead & take a moment to give God the praise He deserves right now…He is the Resurrection & the Life!

The passion I felt from the heart of the Holy Spirit was to impact every person on this Easter Sunday with the power that was released in the Resurrection of Jesus!

Paul delivered such an incredible word to describe the work that was accomplished from the cross to the empty tomb.

I. Dying to Be Raised…

Colossians 2:12 TPT For we’ve been buried with Him into His death. Our “baptism into death” also means we were raised with Him when we believed in God’s resurrection power, the power that raised Him from death’s realm.

Every person has to come to the reality that we are walking dead in this world without Jesus.

Once we come to terms with our true condition, it is only then that we can begin to see hope for our lives.

Ephesians 2:1-3 NLT Once you were dead because of your disobedience & your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires & inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else.

Jesus didn’t need to die, He had life & life in its fullness. He knew He had to take on Himself your & my death in order for us to be eligible to take part in His resurrected life.

II. A Whole New Life…

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NLT Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you & was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

The “Power of Easter” is the representation of the supernatural that connects to mere humans that we may encounter life-change like no other.

The power of resurrection, from death to life, is an experience that no one should miss! (somebody should really give God a great shout of Thanksgiving right NOW!)

2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

Most clearly do not understand the fullness of what has happened when a hear surrenders completely to Jesus as their Lord.

Every bit of the old life that was filled with heartache, failure & despair is immediately wiped away as far as the heavenly Father is concerned!

Colossians 2:13-14 TPT But now, we’ve been resurrected out of that “realm of death” never to return, for we are forever alive & forgiven of all our sins!

He canceled out every legal violation we had on our record & the old arrest warrant that stood to indict us. He erased it all—our sins, our stained soul—He deleted it all & they cannot be retrieved! Everything we once were in Adam has been placed onto His cross & nailed permanently there as a public display of cancellation.

I don’t think some of you heard what I just said… He canceled out every legal violation we had on our record & the old arrest warrant that stood to indict us. He erased it all…
