“For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.” — 1 Thessalonians 4:14
From Tomb to Triumph
How do you find peace amidst life’s uncertainties? Do you ever feel stuck, like you keep repeating the same toxic habits over and over again? Are you wanting to get rid of a toxic habit, but aren’t sure where to start?
These things will be resurrected in your life if you obey the Word of the Lord.
Precious friends, thank you for spending some time with me today. Heavenly Father, I thank You for bringing all the ones from the north, the south, the east, and the west to be touched, to be refreshed, to be encouraged.
You know, precious friend, we have entered the glorious resurrection season, and we will soon celebrate that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, rose on the third day and walked out of that tomb. Yes, and Amen! After He gave the ultimate sacrifice on the cross—because of His never-ending love for you and me. It’s love that saves the world. It’s that pure, holy love that saves your marriage. It’s that pure, compassionate love that saves your family unit. It’s that showing—that pure, holy love—that saves your friends and family. Amen.
And I want you to know you are so important to God. You are on His mind and in His heart. He conquered death, hell, and the grave for you, and He’s alive. He’s alive. He is alive. He is risen!
I’m hearing in the Spirit that we are in a time of supernatural resurrection, and He desires to resurrect things in your life, precious friend—your hopes, your dreams, family and loved ones, finances, marriages, inheritance, careers, ministry opportunities, health, favor, and more.
On Good Friday, April the 18th, I want you to have a special communion with me on our 9:50 a.m. Eastern Standard Time prayer call. See the information on social media to join in. This is a special time where we’re going to come together and pray and praise the Lord, our Savior Jesus Christ, together.
Unconditional Love Transforms Your Life
God loves us so much. He did something none of us would be able to do—for God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever shall believe in Him will not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). Once again: For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).
In the book of John, it is recorded that Jesus declared from His cross, “It is finished.” Those are three of the most important words you can say: It is finished. This was not a cry of defeat but a victory from the very beginning. This was His purpose—the whole purpose from the beginning. God had a plan for man.
On Easter—Resurrection Sunday, April the 20th, as we’re celebrating it this year—when we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior from that tomb, let us stand in faith together that all the enemy has stolen from you and attempted to completely destroy will be—and is being—resurrected. Amen.
God wants to resurrect. He wants to resurrect things in your life. Amen. Everything you will ever need—whether spiritual or physical, financial or material, emotional or relational—has been provided by the sacrifice of your only Savior, Jesus Christ.
An exchange took place when Christ was crucified. He paid the ultimate price because of God’s love for you, precious friend. Once the exchange happened, the next step began—Resurrection. Receive that resurrection power in the name of Jesus. This is what you have access to. So exciting!
But you must stand in faith—bold faith—with me. Everything plotted against you by Satan, I am believing, will be put on the cross in faith, nailed to that cross, and a resurrection will take place in your life.
O’ Death, Where Is Thy Sting
We praise God for the resurrection power embodied by Jesus Christ. As we read in Mark, chapter 16:
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. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb, and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?” But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away.
As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You’re looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He has risen! He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. 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.”
Christ is not dead, but alive—and your purpose, your health, your family, marriage, finances—whatever the enemy is attempting to kill—is not dead. It is alive. It is alive. It is resurrected! I decree and declare it now, as you stand in faith with me.
The Gospel of Luke, chapter 24, declares in verse 44: He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.” Then He opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.”
Verse 49: “I am going to send you what My Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
Verse 50: When He had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them. While He was blessing them, He left them and was taken up into heaven.
Precious friend, you need to grab a hold of this. Step out in faith—and don’t let go. John 10:10 says: He came to give you life, and life more abundantly. I declare life to your family, to your peace, your finances, and your purpose.
You cannot sit back and just let everything slip away or be passive. The enemy is not messing around. He comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. You can overturn that by bold faith and obedience—trusting and obeying the Lord, doing exactly what the Lord Jesus said through the finished work of Jesus.
Sacrificial Giving Empowers My Life
We’ve talked about this before—the importance of getting into God’s presence so you can hear the voice of the Lord. Shut the world down for just one hour a day and listen. Not to your emotions, not to outside voices, but to the Holy Spirit.
This goes back to what we’ve said: Stop. Pause. Pray. Don’t run from hard decisions.
Even the word problems ends with the letter S—which reminds us that every problem you’re facing right now is solvable. Amen?
I want you to prepare a very important sacrificial resurrection seed. This is an act of faith—sowing into what you’re believing for in your life, and in honor of what God has already done for you. Don’t miss this opportunity God is placing before you—to honor Him for His overwhelming love, for the sacrifice we didn’t deserve, and for the victory He already won at the cross by giving His only Son.
The least we can do during this glorious resurrection season is give a sacrificial offering of worship—not out of obligation, but out of love and gratitude. This is a resurrection seed of faith and harvest. With this offering, you are saying, “I believe by faith that God is resurrecting everything the enemy tried to steal, kill, and destroy in my life.”
This seed is for your loved ones. For that broken marriage. For the financial miracle you’ve been praying for. For your calling. For the healing. For the open doors. For the dreams that seem like they died. It’s time to take it all back.
I feel faith rising in my spirit—we are going into the enemy’s camp, and we’re taking back everything he stole! Amen! The enemy is under our feet! Raise your hands to heaven and praise Him—radically! Praise Him for the victories you’ve already seen. Praise Him for what He is doing right now. Praise Him for what’s coming. Expect two supernatural miracles before midnight tonight in Jesus’ name!
This resurrection seed is declaring that your future is secure in Christ. That He is resurrecting what the enemy tried to bury—your child, your marriage, your peace, your business, your faith. Nothing is too far gone for the resurrection power of Jesus!
This offering is a blessing to God’s kingdom. It’s a declaration: With God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26).
Now, I want to encourage you—sow what God tells you to sow. Be led by the Spirit. But I feel in my spirit that someone is to stand on the Word of God and sow a resurrection seed of $1,144, based on John 11:44:
“The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, ‘Take off the grave clothes and let him go.’”
If that’s not you, maybe it’s $144. Maybe it’s another amount. The supernatural manifests when you connect with the Word and obey what the Spirit says. God will reveal what to do—just listen.
Someone reading this is seeking a miracle right now. When you sow your sacrificial resurrection seed, no matter the size, in faith, we will stand in agreement with you that God is turning your situation around and releasing supernatural miracles in your life.
I can’t tell you how many times God has come through for me and my family. One time, my oldest son had been pulled off the road and beaten nearly to death. But the Lord—oh hallelujah—the Lord sent an angel to carry him two and a half miles to reach an ambulance. While we rushed to the ER, we prayed in the Holy Ghost and spoke healing scriptures over his life. God turned it into a miracle. And if He did it for my son—He will do it for yours.
God is no respecter of persons. Sow in faith. Stand on the Word. Expect resurrection. Expect the miracle.
Key Takeaways
The least we can do in this glorious resurrection season is offer a sacrifice of worship on the altar—for who He is and for all He has done. This offering is a love offering to God, a resurrection seed of faith sown in holy expectation. When you place your offering on the altar, you are declaring, “I am securing my future by faith. I believe that God is resurrecting all that the enemy has tried to kill in my life.”
Precious friend, I want you to receive this as a divine point of contact between you and me right now. I am standing in agreement with you—believing for miracles in your life. We are in completion, not competition. Say it with me: We are in completion, not competition.
The seeds you sow—through prayer, through finances—help us set the captives free. We rise when we help others rise. In Acts 19, we read that they brought handkerchiefs and aprons from the Apostle Paul, and the power of God healed the sick and delivered the oppressed. You can do the same. Anoint a cloth with oil, place it under your prodigal child’s pillow, in their backpack, on their shoes, their jacket, their car, their bed. Release the anointing. Amen.
Be filled with joy—joy in the Holy Ghost! I bless you, I bless your family, I bless everything your hands touch. I decree and declare that you are moving from victory to victory, strength to strength, and glory to glory. You are the lender and not the borrower. You are blessed going in and blessed going out. May every seed sown be multiplied a thousandfold for His glory.
I’m standing in bold faith with you—that the power of this resurrection seed will bring forth supernatural breakthrough. I believe this season marks a divine shift in your life in every area—in Jesus’ mighty name.
So get ready. Get ready. Get ready. Rejoice in the Spirit. Honor God with your best Easter Resurrection offering today. He is risen. He is risen. He is risen! The Lord loves you, and there is nothing He will not do for His beloved.
From all of us at Joy Today Ministries, we love you, we honor you, we respect and appreciate you—your prayers and your partnership mean the world. I cannot wait to hear your testimony.
