Author of The Meaning of Life, Living Hope, Understanding Changes, I Can Choose Myself --
Most of us are always pursuing the best for ourselves, our families and our “Life”.
We sometimes think about and even consider the “religious” way of life, but are challenged by the seemingly odd or rigorous traditions, fanciness, reactionary and emotional behaviors we see going on in church, on television and even from folks standing on the corner or knocking on our doors.
In today’s world of technology and information, we can easily educate ourselves and make our own decisions. Which we enjoy, and we should!
If you are thinking about how religion, or in an easier term to understand, a spiritual life can help you, start with the simplest (and absolutely most important) information.
His Message for You is here and ready for you now!!!!!

John 14:26 “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
John 15:26 “When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me.
John 16:7 But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
Acts 2:1-20The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost 1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs — we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.”
Peter Addresses the Crowd
14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 “‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
19 I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 20 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
Father, Christ Jesus, Holy Spirit we thank you for being in our Life. Yes you are our Life! We receive You into our hearts today and rejoice in the blessings you pour out on each of us. Our hearts, mind and soul are now open for Your Spirit to continue Your work through us. Yes, we are delighted to walk in Your Spirit!
In Jesus’ Name, Amen

John 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
I have learned to remind myself, when things are tough, to not allow problems to distract me from my relationship with Christ and to keep His Words on my mind and in my heart. When I come through the problems (and I always do when I call to Him and trust in His Word) I immediately recognize that He carried me through. He blessed me with the desires of my heart, to come through the problems, to be comforted and at peace. Each time I grow closer to Him and know more and more how to use the strength and power of His Word. Doing this pleases God and He will bless you with all your desires. He enjoys seeing you happy and enjoying His blessings.
"My Word is your strength"When I remember to make Him my priority all the time (good and bad) I stay connected to Him. I find myself praying and worshiping Him, knowing He will bless me. His Word begins to change me, to align me with His desires, and He blesses me with my desires. I begin to think like Him, to speak His Word (not mine) and He shapes my character to be like His!! My desires become His desires and as His Word declares “you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.”
Father, thank you for blessing us, for molding us, for aligning our thoughts, character and desires with Yours. For blessing us with all the desires of our heart as we are illuminated with Your Word and Your desires! We trust You will always lead us to Your Word to carry us through all the times in our lives.
In Your Name, Christ and Lord Jesus we pray in faith, Amen

The National Day of Prayer is an annual day of observance held on the first Thursday of May, designated by the United States Congress, when people are asked “to turn to God in prayer and meditation”. The law formalizing its annual observance was enacted in 1952.
There had been at least two individual (i.e. single-day) national days of prayer in U.S. history before the day was made an official annual day of observance in 1952. Prior to the nation’s founding, the Continental Congress issued a proclamation recommending “a day of public fasting, and prayer be observed on July 20, 1775: “ The Honorable Congress having recommended it to the United States to set apart Thursday the 6th of May next to be observed as a day of fasting and prayer, to acknowledge the gracious interpositions of Providence; to pray that a present evil may be removed, to unitedly implore the Protection of Heaven; Success to our Arms and the Arms of our Ally: The Commander in Chief enjoins a religious observance of said day and directs the Chaplains to prepare discourses proper for the occasion; strictly forbidding all recreations and unnecessary labor.” —George Washington, First President of the United States”
During the Quasi-War with France, President John Adams declared May 9, 1798 as “a day of solemn humility, fasting, and prayer,” during which citizens of all faiths were asked to pray “that our country may be protected from all the dangers which threaten it”. On March 30, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation expressing the idea “that the awful calamity of civil war, which now desolates the land, may be but a punishment, inflicted upon us, for our presumptuous sins”, and designated the day of April 30, 1863 as a day of “national humiliation, fasting and prayer” in the hope that God would respond by restoring “our now divided and suffering Country, to its former happy condition of unity and peace”. He went on to say, “…it is the duty of nations as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord.”
More recently, the idea of an annual National Day of Prayer was introduced by the Rev. Billy Graham, who suggested it in the midst of a several-weeks crusade in the nation’s capitol. Members of the House and Senate introduced a joint resolution for an annual National Day of Prayer, “on which the people of the United States may turn to God in prayer and meditation at churches, in groups, and as individuals.”
A Senate report incorrectly claims as part of the rationale for the law that prayers were conducted at the Constitutional Convention, which adopted the U.S. Constitution: “When the delegates to the Constitutional Convention encountered difficulties in the writing and formation of a Constitution for this Nation, prayer was suggested and became an established practice at succeeding sessions,” according to the report by the Committee on the Judiciary. However, Benjamin Franklin suggested prayer, but in his own notes recorded that the convention, “except for three or four persons, thought prayers unnecessary.”
On April 17, 1952, President Harry S. Truman signed a bill proclaiming a National Day of Prayer must be declared by each following president at an appropriate date of his choice. In 1982 a conservative evangelical Christian organization called the “National Prayer Committee” was formed to coordinate and implement a fixed annual day of prayer for the purpose of organizing evangelical Christian prayer events with local, state, and federal government entities. In his 1983 declaration, Ronald Reagan said, “From General Washington’s struggle at Valley Forge to the present, this Nation has fervently sought and received divine guidance as it pursued the course of history. This occasion provides our Nation with an opportunity to further recognize the source of our blessings, and to seek His help for the challenges we face today and in the future.” In 1988, the law was amended so that the National Day of Prayer would be held on the first Thursday of May. Two stated intentions of the National Day of Prayer were that it would be a day when adherents of all great religions could unite in prayer and that it may one day bring renewed respect for God to all the peoples of the world.
"Listen and I will explain"Truly this was an evil man, driving an evil ideology and committing atrocities to man kind, yes a war. Now that justice has been delivered, which was predestine because no evil stands against the righteous, we wonder, is all the celebration over the death of a man? Is it a celebration over the end of the most dangerous threat in the world today?
What does it all mean?
For those of us illuminated by His Holy Spirit, with faith that all we know and everything we experience in this world is by His Plan:
Ephesians 1:9-11 God has now revealed to us His mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill His own good pleasure. And this is the plan: At the right time He will bring everything together under the authority of Christ — everything in Heaven and on earth. Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything workout according to his plan.
we can look at this situation with discerning yet spiritual eyes. We can overcome the anxiety, concern, worry, distrust, and overwhelming emotion to attempt to control our understanding (by our own effort). Standing firm in faith, we can be secure and win over the fiery darts the enemy uses to control our thoughts, to limit our understanding and to cause us to think with narrow minded perspective. Trust, if you know Christ, you can see what the meaning to all of this is. Yes, in the human realm and man was killed, but in the supernatural, a great evil was put in place, by God’s plan. Amen, in this we can praise God and celebrate life, freedom and peace.
Father, this is a time of maturing in Spirit and the illumination You bring. We pray with expectation that You will provide us with a clear understanding of these times, this significant and historical event and that You are in control and this is Your Plan. Thank you for the sermon by Pastor Rick Warren where my illumination for this message occurred. Amen
The Bible provides a precise perspective (as God always does) when He shares:
Romans 12:17-18 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
“If it is possible …” God knows, and shares with us, there will be times when it is not possible to live in peace. There will be evil that plots to destroy us and we will be exposed and even directly subject to this evil. Our Father provides us with options, first to stand firm in faith knowing He will provide a way, and all that happens is for good, by His Plan. Second to fight. Yes, it is true, many times the Bible shows us when it is time to fight for good, to fight for those who cannot and to fight for righteousness. God promises He will give us all we need and will be there with us in the fight.
We ask ourselves, is war right?
The Bible shows us that two human characteristics typically cause wars, selfishness and pride:
James 4:1-2 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.
Whenever there is conflict between nations, businesses, or even families it is driven by selfishness or pride.
So is it ok to fight? Well, there are times when it is the lesser of two evils and is appropriate:
Ecclesiastes 3:8 says, “There is a time for war and a time for peace.”
His Word shares an honest and quite frank view of the time for battle and there are a number of times where God commanded war. Hebrews 11 shares incredible stories about biblical warriors and their battles: Joshua, David, Gideon, Samson.
In Christ’s time on earth he never told soldiers to not fight. In fact He said:
Matthew 24:6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
Jesus himself twice cleansed, whip in hand, the temple by force.
When is it right to fight?
– To preserve Freedom:
God told Joshua to wipe out the Midianites because they were oppressive and had all kinds of evil practices, a terrible and vicious culture.
Numbers shows us:
Numbers 32:20-23 If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle and if all of you who are armed cross over the Jordan before the LORD until he has driven his enemies out before him — then when the land is subdued before the LORD, you may return and be free from your obligation to the LORD and to Israel. And this land will be your possession before the LORD. But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the LORD.
Amen, God wants us to know we have to decide what’s worth dying for to know what’s worth living for.
– To protect innocent people:
Proverbs 21:15 When justice is done it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evil doers.
Christians should always be interested in peace, but we also must ensure and demand justice. Peace at any price is not peace, it is appeasement. Our Father is a God of peace, but He is also a God of justice.
I love this famous quote: “A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares about more than his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free.” – John Stuart Mill
– To stop the spread of evil
The Bible is clear, God has authorized the government to enforce law and punish evil.
Romans 13:4 The authorities are sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for you will be punished. The authorities are established by God for that very purpose, to punish those who do wrong.
Will there ever be permanent peace?
Yes! When Jesus Christ returns!!!
John 14 Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions. If it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am there you may be also.
The Bible explains when Jesus returns, He will set up a reign of peace on the earth.
Isaiah 2:4 He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.
Many wonder if this is the final war?
We know that there will be one final great battle and it will be when Christ returns, however, His Word tells us:
Luke 21:8-9 Don’t be fooled. Many will come in My name saying, ‘I am He!’ and ‘The time has come!’ But don’t follow them. Don’t be afraid when you hear of wars and revolutions; such things must happen but they don’t mean the end is near. Countries will fight each other and kingdoms will attack one another.
Please note – “Don’t be fooled ….” There have been many books and people that have set dates for the last days and all were wrong.
also, “… such things must happen ….” In the last 3,400 years there have only been 268 years without war. In over 6,000 years of recorded history, the world has averaged two and a half wars a year. Of 185 generations, only ten have experienced unbroken peace.
“There are going to be wars and rumors of wars,” Jesus knew what He was talking about!
Most importantly Jesus said:
Matthew 24:36 No one knows that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Acts 1:7-8 It’s not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by His own authority. But you are to be My witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the uttermost parts of the world.
Matthew 24:44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
Acts 1:7 It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.
This is the last discussion Christ had with His disciples. They wanted to discuss prophecy and when He would return and He answered them with a declaraton of evangelism and the Power to win this world.
Acts 1:8-9 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
Knowing all of this, as Christians, our attitude and actions during war should be:
– Pray
1 Timothy 2:1-2 First of all pray for kings and all others who are in authority, that we may live a quiet and peaceful life.
Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling – even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
Heavenly Father, Grant a courageous heart, a quick mind, and a serene spirit to all those now in our armed forces, ready to offer their talents, and if necessary their lives, for the cause of truth, justice, and liberty. Keep them close to You in every way. Make them always, even in these difficult circumstances, true witnesses to Your goodness, love, and compassion. And finally, bring them safely back to their homes and families.
We must pray for are our leaders, President, Generals, and Congress, as well, pray for all those serving in harms way. Understand, He said when we do this we will live a quiet and peaceful life. Also, pray for our enemies, that they will have a change of heart.
– Trust God
Psalms 27:3 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.
We accept the truth that when war happens there are casualties. We trust God, realizing that He is in control.
Seek Peace
Psalms 34:14 Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
Not only peace between nations, but peace in every part of our “Life”
– Support each other
Galatians 6:2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Father, bless us with the understanding of peace, the understanding of war, and the power to overcome evil with the power of Your Holy Spirit in us. Bless us as we go out into the world to serve You. Bless us to care and support those in need, especially in these terrible times, the true sign of a Christian.
Father, we do not always understand Your way, but have faith Your plan is always for good and we know You will bless all those injured and afraid after this disaster with the Healing Power of Your Holy Spirit. We pray You will bless all those impacted with the understanding and comfort only Your Holy Spirit can provide.
We pray in faith in Your Word:
Ephesians 1:9-11 “God has now revealed to us His mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill His own good pleasure. And this is the plan: At the right time He will bring everything together under the authority of Christ — everything in Heaven and on earth. Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything workout according to his plan.”
Psalms 23:4 “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
Psalm 34:4: “I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.”
2 Timothy 1:7: “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
Luke 1:37: “For with God nothing shall be impossible.”
Jeremiah 33:3: “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”

We have complete faith You bring us home immediately to You when we leave this world and know You will welcome home all those who died with open arms! "Welcome home My chosen ones"
1 Corinthians 15:51-57: “Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye….we shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed…and this mortal shall have put on immortality… thanks be to God, which giveth us this victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Romans 8:31-32: “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
In Your Name God our Father, Christ and Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit we pray, Amen
Amen, if Christ returns this instance, tonight, tomorrow or May 21rst, I am ready. I pray you know Jesus and have faith in His resurrection, which is our salvation!
Bless Mr. Harold Camping for his service and his passion and he is right; Christ will return, although regarding Christ’s return, this is what God’s Word tells us:
"At My time by My Plan"
Matthew 24:36 “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”
Mark 13:32 “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”
So in this we understand that no one but God knows the day, but we do know, the day will come.
In His Word we have faith, In Your Name Christ and Lord Jesus we pray, Amen

"I am risen from the dead, just as I said would happen"
Matthew 28 Jesus Has Risen
1 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
8 So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
Mark 16 Jesus Has Risen
1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3 and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”
4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
6 “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”
8 Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.
Luke 24 Jesus Has Risen
1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” 8 Then they remembered his words.
9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. 11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
Jesus Appears to Thomas
24 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Father, bless all those who have read Your Word above with the power of understanding from Your Holy Spirit. They now know You have risen, You have overcome sin and death, You live forever and You have given all of us this “Life“.

I personally could not say this any better, so here it is directly from Pastor Joel 🙂
He is Risen!
Today’s Scripture:
Matthew 28:6 “…He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen…”
Today’s Word:
We have a reason to celebrate today because we serve a God who is alive and filled with resurrection power! Not only did He resurrect Jesus from the dead, but He wants to extend His resurrection power into every single area of your life, today!
Maybe you have a dream to get out of debt, pay off your house or be free from that burden of lack; but it looks like it’s impossible. Business is slow. The economy is down. You’ve gone as far as your education allows. But God is saying, “I’m not limited by those things. I’ve got resurrection power. I can give you one break that will thrust you to a new level. I can open up doors that no man can shut. I can bring talent out of you that you didn’t know you had. I can cause people, for no reason, to go out of their way to want to be good to you.”
Your part is to keep believing today knowing that He wants to bring you into supernatural increase. Remember, He is risen, He is alive, and He is faithful to His Word. Trust Him today and let His resurrection power work in your life!
Prayer for Today:
Father God, thank You for Your resurrection power at work in my life. Today, I give You my broken dreams, disappointments, failures and setbacks and trust that You will breathe Your life into me. I trust that You have a good plan for my future and are leading me into total victory!

Sila ay dumating at sinabi sa amin na sila ay nakakita ng isang pangitain ng mga anghel, na nagsabing siya ay buhay. 24 Nang magkagayo’y ilan sa aming mga kasama na pumunta sa libingan at natagpuan ito lamang bilang mga babae ay nagkaroon ng sinabi, ngunit hindi nila makita si Jesus. ”

31 Ngayon ito ay ang araw ng Paghahanda, at ang mga susunod na araw ay upang maging isang espesyal na Sabbath. Dahil ang Jewish lider ay hindi nais ang mga katawan sa kaliwa sa mga krus sa panahon ng Sabbath, tinanong nila si Pilato sa may ang binti nasira at ang mga katawan kinuha down. 32 Ang mga sundalo kaya’t dumating at nakabasag ng binti ng mga unang tao na ay ipinako sa krus na kasama ni Jesus, at pagkatapos ay sa mga ng iba pang mga. 33 Ngunit kapag sila kay Jesus at natagpuan na siya ay patay na, sila ay hindi break kanyang binti. 34 Sa halip, ang isang sundalo na butas ang Jesus ‘side na may sibat, nagdadala ng isang biglaang daloy ng dugo at tubig. 35 Ang mga tao na nakakita ng ito ay ibinigay sa patotoo, at ang kaniyang patotoo ay totoo. Alam niya na siya ay nagsasabi ng katotohanan, at siya testifies kaya na ikaw din ay maaaring naniniwala. 36 Ang mga bagay ay nangyari upang ang kasulatan ay matupad: “Hindi isa sa kaniyang mga buto ay nasira,” 37 at, bilang banal na kasulatan ng isa pang nagsasabing, “Sila ay tumingin sa isa sa mga ito ay may butas.”
Ang libing ni Jesus
38 Mamaya, Joseph ng Arimathea tinanong ni Pilato ang bangkay ni Jesus. Ngayon si Jose ay isang alagad ni Jesus, ngunit lihim dahil siya natakot sa mga Jewish lider. Sa Pilato’s pahintulot, siya ay dumating at kinuha ang katawan palayo. 39 Siya ay sinamahan ng Nicodemo, ang tao na mas maaga dinalaw ni Jesus na sa gabi. Nicodemo nagdala ng isang pinaghalong mirra at mga aloe, tungkol sa £ 75. 40 Ang pagkuha ni Jesus katawan, ang dalawa sa kanila balot ito, may mga pabango, sa dawa ng lino. Ito ay alinsunod sa Jewish customs libing. 41 Sa mga lugar kung saan si Jesus ay ipinako sa krus, may isang hardin, at sa hardin ng isang bagong libingan, na kung saan hindi isa ay kailanman ay inilatag. 42 Dahil ito ay ang mga Hudyo sa araw ng Paghahanda at dahil ang libingan ay malapit na, inilagay nila si Jesus doon.
John 20 Ang Empty Tomb
1 Maagang sa unang araw ng linggo, habang ito ay pa rin madilim, si Maria Magdalena ay pumunta sa libingan at nakita ang bato ay tinanggal mula sa pasukan. 2 Kaya siya ay dumating na tumatakbo sa Simon Pedro at ang isang alagad, ang isa na iniibig ni Jesus, at sinabi, “Sila ay gumawa ang Panginoon mula sa libingan, at hindi namin alam kung saan nila siya inilagay!”
3 Kaya si Pedro at ang isang alagad na nagsimula para sa libingan. 4 Ang parehong ay tumatakbo, ngunit ang mga alagad inunahan Pedro at naabot libingan ang unang. 5 Siya baluktot higit at tumingin sa sa mga strips ng lino nakahiga doon ngunit hindi pumunta in 6 Unya si Simon Pedro ay dumating kasama sa likod niya at nagpunta tuwid sa libingan. Nakita niya ang mga strips ng lino nakahiga doon, 7 pati na rin ang tela na ay abala sa paligid ni Jesus ulo. Ang tela ay pa rin nakahiga sa kanilang lugar, hiwalay mula sa lino. 8 Sa wakas ang isang alagad, na nagkaroon ng naabot libingan ang una, nagpunta din sa loob. Nakita niya at naniwala. 9 (Sila pa rin ay hindi maunawaan ang mula sa Kasulatan na si Jesus ay upang tumaas mula sa patay.) 10 At ang mga alagad ay bumalik sa kung saan sila ay naninirahan dito.
Lumitaw si Jesus kay Maria Magdalena
11 Ngayon si Maria ay nakatayo sa labas ng libingan iyak. Bilang umiyak siya, siya baluktot sa ibabaw upang tumingin sa libingan 12 at nakita ang dalawang anghel sa puti, malala kung saan si Jesus ‘body ay, isa sa ulo at ang iba pang sa paanan.
13 Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Babae, bakit ka umiiyak?” “Sila kinuha ang aking Panginoon ang layo,” kanyang sinabi, “at hindi ko alam kung saan nila siya inilagay.” 14 Sa sandaling ito, bumalik siya sa paligid at nakita si Jesus na nakatayo doon, ngunit siya ay hindi mapagtanto na ito ay si Jesus.
15 Tinanong niya ang kanyang, “Babae, bakit ka umiiyak? Sino ito na hinahanap mo? “Pag-iisip siya ay ang hardinero, sinabi niya,” Ginoo, kung ikaw ay dinala siya sa malayo, sabihin sa akin kung saan mo siya inilagay, at makukuha ko siya. ”
16 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Maria.” Lumingon sa kaniya at sumigaw sa Arameik, “Rabboni!” (Na nangangahulugan na “Guro”).
17 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Huwag mong hawakan sa akin, para ko na hindi pa umakyat sa Ama. Pumunta sa halip sa aking mga kapatid at sabihin sa kanila, ‘ako pataas sa aking Ama at inyong Ama, sa aking Dios at inyong Dios.’ ”
18 Maria Magdalena miadto sa mga alagad sa mga balita: “! Ko nakita ang Panginoon” At siya na sinasabi sa kanila na kaniyang sinabi mga bagay na ito sa kanya.
Lumitaw si Jesus sa Kanyang mga Alagad
19 Sa gabi ng unang na araw ng linggo, kapag ang mga alagad ay magkasama, kasama ang mga pinto naka-lock dahil sa takot sa Jewish lider, dumating si Jesus at tumayo sa gitna nila at sinabi, “Kapayapaan sa iyo!” 20 Pagkatapos ay sinabi niya na ito , ipinakita niya sa kanila ang kanyang mga kamay at tagiliran. Ang mga alagad ay tuwang-tuwa nang makita nila ang Panginoon.
21 Muli ay sinabi ni Jesus, “Kapayapaan sa iyo! Samantalang ang Ama ay nagpadala sa akin, ako ay pagpapadala sa iyo. “22 At sa pamamagitan na siya hiningahan sila at sinabi,” Tanggapin ninyo ang Espiritu Santo. 23 Kung kasalanan sinuman, ang kanilang mga kasalanan; kung hindi mo patawarin mo sila, sila ay hindi patatawarin “.
Lumitaw si Jesus kay Tomas
24 Ngayon Thomas (kilala rin bilang Didimo), isa sa Labindalawa, ay wala sa mga alagad nang dumating si Jesus. 25 Kaya ang ibang mga alagad sinabi sa kaniya, “Nakita namin ang Panginoon!” Datapuwa’t sinabi niya sa kanila, “Maliban kung nakikita ko ang mga marka ng pako sa kanyang mga kamay at ilagay ang aking daliri kung saan ang mga kuko ay, at ilagay ang aking mga kamay sa kanyang tagiliran, ako ay hindi naniniwala. ”
26 Isang linggo mamaya ang kanyang mga alagad ay nasa bahay muli, at Thomas ay kasama nila. Kahit na ang mga pinto ay naka-lock, dumating si Jesus at tumayo sa gitna nila at sinabi, “Kapayapaan sa iyo!” 27 At sinabi niya kay Tomas, “Ilagay ang iyong mga daliri dito; tingnan ang aking mga kamay. Abutin ang iyong kamay at ilagay ito sa aking tagiliran. Itigil aalinlangan at naniniwala. ”
28 Tomas miingon kaniya, “Panginoon ko at Dios ko!”
29 At si Jesus ay sinabi sa kanya, “Dahil ikaw ay may nakita ako, ikaw ay nagsisampalataya; pinagpala ay ang mga may hindi nakita at gayon ma’y nagsisampalataya.”
Ama, basbasan ang lahat ng mga may basahin ang iyong mga Word sa itaas kasama ang kapangyarihan ng unawa mula sa iyong Banal na Espiritu. Sila ngayon ay alam mo na ang nabuhay, ka may pagtagumpayan kasalanan at kamatayan, mabuhay ka magpakailan Binigyan mo lahat ng sa amin ito “Life“.
Sa Iyong Pangalan Cristo at Panginoon si Jesus, Amen
Let it be from His Word, for those whom it is time to hear and understand . Amen
"I Live and you have My Life, forever"Matthew 27:27-28:8
27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him. 28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, 29 and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said. 30 They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again. 31 After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.
The Crucifixion of Jesus
32 As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross. 33 They came to a place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 34 There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it. 35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots. 36 And sitting down, they kept watch over him there. 37 Above his head they placed the written charge against him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Two rebels were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. 39 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads 40 and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!” 41 In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him. 42 “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! He’s the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43 He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him, for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 In the same way the rebels who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
The Death of Jesus
45 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. 46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).
47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”
48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. 49 The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”
50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split 52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”
55 Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs. 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
The Burial of Jesus
57 As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. 58 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. 59 Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away. 61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.
The Guard at the Tomb
62 The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate. 63 “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’ 64 So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first.”
65 “Take a guard,” Pilate answered. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.” 66 So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard.
Matthew 28 Jesus Has Risen
1 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
8 So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
Mark 15:16-16:19
The Soldiers Mock Jesus
16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!” 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
The Crucifixion of Jesus
21 A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross. 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.
25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
The Death of Jesus
33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).
35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”
36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.
37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.
38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”
40 Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph, and Salome. 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.
The Burial of Jesus
42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45 When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he was laid.
Mark 16 Jesus Has Risen
1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3 and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”
4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
6 “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”
8 Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.
[The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9–20.]
9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. 10 She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping. 11 When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it.
12 Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country. 13 These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either.
14 Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.
Luke 23:26-24:35
The Crucifixion of Jesus
26 As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus. 27 A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him. 28 Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ 30 Then “‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’
31 For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
32 Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. 33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
35 The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”
36 The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar 37 and said, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.”
38 There was a written notice above him, which read: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”
40 But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
The Death of Jesus
44 It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, 45 for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.
47 The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.” 48 When all the people who had gathered to witness this sight saw what took place, they beat their breasts and went away. 49 But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
The Burial of Jesus
50 Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man, 51 who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea, and he himself was waiting for the kingdom of God. 52 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body. 53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid. 54 It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.
55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. 56 Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.
Luke 24 Jesus Has Risen
1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” 8 Then they remembered his words.
9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. 11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.
On the Road to Emmaus
13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; 16 but they were kept from recognizing him.
17 He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?” They stood still, their faces downcast. 18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”
19 “What things?” he asked. “About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. 20 The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; 21 but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. 22 In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning 23 but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”
25 He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. 29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.
30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”
33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.
John 19:16-20:30
16 Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified.
The Crucifixion of Jesus
So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. 17 Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. 21 The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews.”
22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
24 “Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.” This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled that said, “They divided my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment.” So this is what the soldiers did.
25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” 27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
The Death of Jesus
28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. 30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
31 Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. 32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. 33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. 35 The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. 36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken,” 37 and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”
The Burial of Jesus
38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds. 40 Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. 41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. 42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
John 20 The Empty Tomb
1 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. 2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”
3 So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. 4 Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. 8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. 9 (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) 10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
Jesus Appears to Thomas
24 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Father, bless all those who have read Your Word above with the power of understanding from Your Holy Spirit. They now know You have risen, You have overcome sin and death, You live forever and You have given all of us this “Life“.
Have you had some things that didn’t go the way you planned? I have, we’ve all had disappointments and setbacks. Well, you do not have to stress or worry anymore. Today is a new day and with faith you can live your dreams, have a better “Life“, be healed, provide for your family, and accomplish the goals you dream of. YES YOU CAN!

1 Corinthians 2:9 “…No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him”
Luke 1:37 “For with God nothing shall be impossible.”
Jeremiah 33:3 “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”
Father, we thank You for this new day and in Your Glory we dedicate ourselves to You fresh and anew. Lead us in the ways of our heart; help us to live our dreams and let everything we do bring glory to You. We know You are going before us and we now live in peace and joy trusting you will make all things work out for our benefit. Yes, we turn our lives over to You and expect Your blessings, because we trust You. Yes, we have Hope and Faith in You.

Romans 8:11 “And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who lives in you”
With faith, we are not limited by anything or anyone. When we let Christ into our life, He is ready to do the impossible in you, for you and through you!
Think about it: when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the Spirit of God actually makes His home in you!
We have unlimited power, unlimited wisdom, unlimited ability, unlimited joy and unlimited peace living inside us by the power of the Holy Spirit!
As believers, we have the unlimited, supernatural, living God inside of us!
Let this sink deep into your heart and your mind and realize it with every thought you have. Let it restore confidence and strength to your being. Let it energize your thoughts and attitude today. Call to Him today and receive the vastness of His power inside of you! Every day, you will experience His supernatural increase when you put Him first — the Supernatural One living in you!
Father, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, so that we can have eternal, abundant life in You. Thank You for choosing to make Your home in us and empowering us by Your Spirit. Give us Your wisdom and revelation so we will rise higher and receive everything You have in store for us.
Father, we continue to pray together in faith for our heroes who continue the battle on the front lines in Afghanistan. We have Hope and Trust in your Word in Psalms 91 that it will accomplish what it says it will:
Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling – even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
Heavenly Father, Grant a courageous heart, a quick mind, and a serene spirit to all those serving for our freedom in harms way, ready to offer their talents, and if necessary their lives, for the cause of truth, justice, and liberty. Keep them close to You in every way. Make them always, even in these difficult circumstances, true witnesses to Your goodness, love, and compassion. And finally, bring them safely back to their homes and families.
1 Timothy 4:12 “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.”
When you are a teenager it may seem like some do not recognize your value, but know this, you are Christ’s glory and His delight. Yes, you are His plan for our future! Stand firm and confident in your spiritual relationship with God and you will always win, always be successful and you will always overcome any challenge you face.
You are special to Christ! His awesome power will always protect you and when you trust in Him, His blessings will allow you to overcome any situation, any person who puts you down and any attack or challenge you face.
You are His chosen. Invite Him into your Life today!
God will bless our United States Navy Fighter Pilots, our Heroes, our Good and Faithful Servants

Flyer’s Prayer
When this life I’m in is done, and at the gates I stand, my hope is that I answer all His questions on command.
I doubt He’ll ask me of my fame, or all the things I knew, instead he’ll ask of rainbows sent, on the rainy days I flew.
The hours logged, the status reached, the ratings will not matter. He’ll ask me if I saw the rays and how He made them scatter.
Or what about the droplets clear, I spread across your screen? And did you see the twinkling eyes of the youngest pilots gleam?
The way your heart jumped in your chest, that special solo day – did you take time to thank the ones who fell along the way?
Remember how the runway lights looked one night long ago, when you were lost and found your way, and how you still don’t know?
How fast, how far, how much, how high? He’ll ask me not these things. But did I take the time to watch the moonbeams wash my wings?
And did you see the patchwork fields and mountains I did mold; the mirrored lakes and velvet hills of these did I behold?
The wind he flung along my wings, on final I almost stalled. And did I know, it was His name, that I so fearfully called?
And when the goals are reached at last, when all the flying’s done, I’ll answer Him with no regret – Indeed, I had great fun.
So when these things are asked of me, and I can reach no higher, I pray this day as His hand extends, to welcome home a Flyer.

Although our hearts are broken, we pray with Hope, faith, passion, and love:
Father, we do not always understand Your way, but have faith Your plan is always for good and we know You will welcome Matthew and Nathan home with open arms.
We pray with complete faith in Your Word:
Ephesians 1:9-11 “God has now revealed to us His mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill His own good pleasure. And this is the plan: At the right time He will bring everything together under the authority of Christ — everything in Heaven and on earth. Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything workout according to his plan.”
"Welcome Home Matthew & Nathan"
1 Corinthians 15:51-57: “Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye….we shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed…and this mortal shall have put on immortality… thanks be to God, which giveth us this victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
We pray together in faith that Your blessing of redemption and victory is a blessing You graciously provide for all of us!
In Your Name God our Father, Christ and Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit we pray, Amen
There are days we find ourselves uptight, worried, anxious, filled with frustration, concern and even anger. Usually, because of what we feel, are good reasons! However, the negative emotions we let ourselves experience, when things are not going right, steal our energy and can leave us feeling lost, tired, under appreciated, depressed and sometimes without a desire to go on.
Well, you can change this immediately, right now. You can choose to live with positive emotions, to live with peace, joy and happiness.
It’s true, God will bless us to live in peace and we will experience His presence and know that no matter what is happening around us, His hands are always holding us up.
His Message for You today is: “I will reward those who diligently seek Me, remember to be anxious for nothing.”
Philippians 4:6 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God”
Father, we choose to be anxious for nothing, to set aside our worries and to have faith that You will answer our prayers and our requests. We accept Your peace and we thank You for Your faithfulness to meet every need in our “Life“.
In Jesus’ Name we pray together in faith, Amen Donations
Yes, there are people who live to intentionally frustrate others. To make us upset first thing in the day, to make us look bad, to tell us what we can’t do because of who they think we are or should be. They are intent on stealing our peace.
John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
Nothing is worth losing our peace over. For us, His chosen ones, God will use their bad intentions to take us higher. He builds us up and gives us the strength, wisdom and the choice to keep peace in our “Life“. When we choose to pray for them, forgive them and bless them we disarm the enemy against us.
The Bible explains people are not our enemies and our battle is not with human flesh and blood. Because we have accepted Christ, our enemy is Satan and he constantly tries to bring division and anger in our lives. When we choose to keep our peace and walk in His Love, we win. We overcome the enemies efforts. Choose peace, choose to walk in His Love, and choose the victory God graciously gives us!
~~~”Give Now”~~~ to help share His Message with the world!
Father, we praise You for giving us Your peace and strength. We choose to hold on to our peace and bless those who anger us, mistreat us, talk about us or try to steal our peace. We choose to walk in Your Love and Your spirit of forgiveness and we will honor You in all we do, and we know You will bless us for who we are.
In Jesus’ Name. Amen

“Give freely, I will bless you!” Matthew 10:8 “…Freely you have received; freely give”
Father, thank You for blessing each of us with Your Grace and Salvation. Which You give freely to us when we look to You with Hope and faith. You increase the blessings in our “Life“ as we share Your spirit of giving with those You lead us to. We will give freely with our gifts, talents and the fruits of Your blessings. All in Your Glory.
"I will make you a winner"2 Corinthians 9:8 “And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.”
Life may seem like there are things that we do not have or are holding us back. There may be people who make us feel small, talk about us or stand in our way. We may think not having enough money keeps us from our goals. We sometimes think, if I just looked like that person things would be great.
All these thoughts and emotions are real, but know this, when we have faith in Christ, he will give us everything we need to be winners. To be comfortable where we are in life and to know we will achieve everything we desire, by His power.. Everything we have and everything we do is by His great plan. Absolutely nothing can stand in our way, nothing can stop us.
God wants you to know, your Life will be filled with talent, strength, wisdom, joy, happiness, friends and victory in everything. Yes everything! You can begin now, today, at this moment. Have faith in Christ and your Life will change immediately. Lift your head up, raise your hands in the air, place your faith in Jesus and overcome every challenge you face. Receive in abundance, everything you need in Life. Accept Christ into your heart and your life now!
You are a wonderful person, you are always beautiful in His eyes, you can have His power in you now, you will have all that you need and will achieve every goal you pursue, in and by His plan. Just by keeping Him at the front of your Life, your thoughts and everything you do.
In Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen
