WIll Your Heart and Soul Say Yes... The Resurrection

Will Your Heart and Soul Say Yes?


We have come to CELEBRATE this glorious day; after Jesus, the King of all Kings made Himself the sacrifice for us all. For He was bruised and disfigured for us… He was chastised and pierced for us… He was hung high and mocked for us. And later, HE gave up His own life and died for us... all the while spewing out that essential blood that bathed his whole entity. Oh this blood trickled down with miraculous power just for you and me. This is the blood that reaches generations to generations, that goes from the highest mountains and down to the lowest of valleys. It is our redemption.
Now we shall in deed glory in the fact that it didn’t stop there. For Our Savior victoriously defeated the plan and power of the Enemy to completely transform and liberate us all. We celebrate this day as we remember that our Lord and Savior defeated death’s sting. We celebrate this day as the day where in which He resurrected Himself to reign as the I AM, the Alpha and Omega, the Living Word, The Way, the Truth and the Life, Our Redeemer, Our Deliverer, Our True Shepherd, the lover of our souls, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He has risen for us… He has risen for us…He has risen for us…and set before us a new life filled with victory, power, abundance, freedom, and everlasting joy! Oh what love! Hallelujah! The King is exalted!

(Pause) Do we truly take into account the reality and significance of this day?

Centuries to decades, months and days have passed. Today, we have impeccably dressed ourselves in our best. We joyfully come into churches and fill rows worldwide to praise, worship, give honor to, glorify and rejoice in His Name…but what about tomorrow? Do you realize there is so much more to Jesus than we can ever imagine? He wants you and I closer…higher and even the more infatuated to Him. Do you hear Him calling? After today, would we really take the time to listen for and obey His voice…can we take on the call that Christ has set out for us individually? Do we know what this call is? Would we strive to really serve Him?
Would we submit ourselves even the more to Him and stay committed? Would we advance to the next levels in Him or are we satisfied with where we are? From the youngest to the most seasoned of saints, do you realize that there is more He has for you? And there is more He requires from you? Can we truly say, "Yes", to our resurrected Savior? Would we really say yes to His will… even if it goes against our own…Not just with our mouths, but with our whole heart, mind and being…and walk daily in it? For what good is a resurrection Sunday if we can’t ultimately rise with Him? For He resurrected Himself to resurrect us all! He’s willingly offering eternal life…will you say Yes? He is offering tremendous peace, joy, love, direction, provision, comfort and above all, authority. Will you say yes? Don’t put limits on yourself and especially don’t limit the One True God. Your genuine service has been observed. Your heart has been felt. Your weaknesses and tears have been seen. Your sin has been paid for no matter how disgusting, Your past mistakes have been erased, your guilt, shame, struggle have been traded for victory. For every hindrance has been knocked down! WE ARE FREE!!! …But you must declare to Him your Yes! For your true yes, will change your whole life whether you are new in Him or mature in Him… Will you, can you really say yes? Can you make this day the next transformation and elevation of your life? For there are more to come. He is calling you higher! He is calling us higher! Will your heart and soul say yes?
