Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth.
Yes, You have done it once and for all. Redemption for all mankind. Peoples of every nation caught in the net of sin. Rebellious in nature until You came to earth to redeem and make right which was made wrong by our sin. Hallelujah! Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!!! From the mountain tops we proclaim all praise, glory and honor to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Jesus, You saved us from our sin and we give You our life in return to be used as a living sacrifice, a beautiful aroma that rises to heaven, to Your throne room. All creation lift their voices to the God of Love. Darkness has been conquered, the fear of death has been vanquished. Death where is thy sting?
We believe in You, Heavenly Father. You control all things and nothing escapes Your watchful eye. The evils that exist are because You allow it to happen for a reason and for a time. With Your outstretched arm You could say to the darkness, begone. With Your awesome presence all darkness disappears. Yet, with great patience You suffer long for the sake of Your creation, in the hope that they will see the error of their ways. Your plans have been established from before time existed. How great is our God and His beautiful purpose.
Yes, there is a whirlwind of activity here on earth and it's the culmination of 6,000 years of good and bad. A history that is infinitally small compared to spirit dimension without time or space. Your children are grateful that You have opened our eyes to this reality and we can journey to the ends of the earth knowing You are in full control. For, not one hair on our head will be destroyed without the full acknowledgment of Your will for our lives. We can stand, undefeated , bold and strong, victorious even before the battle begins or ends.
The wicked will scatter, they will shudder with terror. God goes before us and surrounds us with His cloak of protection and His heavenly angels, like an unpenetrable sphere. Wickedness is but a vapor that quickly vanishes by Your breath. The wicked are like grass that wither in the sunlight and is no more. How we have listened far too long to the raving madness of evil and have sought shelter rather than run to the battlefield with sword and shield. This is the time, this is the hour, this is the stage to which God's children will shine and bare witness of the awesome goodness of the One, True God whom we serve. Our Heavenly Father and the Righteous Lamb that was slain for our sin, will be magnified. We stand strong with the Spirit that resides in us, the temple of our bodies.
For You are Holy Yahweh, unsearchable in wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Those who seek You find treasure untold. The righteous run to You and are safe. Our identity? High Priests and Royalty. We will sit at the table of the Groom, we will walk in His kingdom adorned with unfathomable riches and glory. Let that sink deep into your souls. Rejoice that You have been called and approved and that Your name is written in the book of life.
Give us the message Lord that You want us to take to the nations. Show us how faith looks and works. As Jonah was sent out to Nineveh let us bare glad tidings to the lost and offer Your hope, peace and especially love. Let us not fail to get up each morning to receive Your marching orders. Give us a message of redemption to those who seek light rather than darkness. To those who seek life rather than death, to those who desire to live by faith and belief rather than doubt and fear.
To those who seek to walk in the fruits of the Holy Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self control.
For this is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Happy Resurrection Day
