 Oh, what a significant weekend this is, as we commemorate Good Friday, the hours Jesus spent on the cross for you and for me, and then Sunday, oh, His glorious resurrection from the dead and from the grave. You do not want to miss today's program, as we just have anointed worship, as we take Holy Communion, get into a great word, and just pray over all of the prayer requests. Stay tuned for a glorious program today. What all our sins and griefs to beg, sing to God in prayer. Christ, it's my favorite week of the Jesus spent on the cross Sunday. Wow, we're so glad you've tuned in today. What a special time we are going to enjoy Lord's holy presence. Pastor Myra was leading us in our time of worship. I'm Pastor Gary here with Pastor Rebecca Luker, Pastor Jonathan Schaefer, and I can't wait to get started. I feel the resurrection energy in the studio today. I pray that you feel it wherever you're watching this today. I don't know what you came into this program with. I don't know what's going on around you right now, but here's the one thing I know for sure, that we are celebrating the historical reality that our God became flesh and death couldn't hold him down. He was raised for our vindication. He took our sickness and disease upon him. There is nothing in the universe that can hold us down because our God is risen. Praise the Lord, Amen. And I'm so thankful that you have chosen to let us be a part of your celebration and you're going to be a part of ours today as well. We are blessed to know that Jesus Christ is alive and well. We're thankful of his sacrifice. I'm thankful to know that everything that we need, he has accomplished for us. So whatever you're needing today as you're watching, just know that God is on your side. He is fighting for you. He finished it all at Calvary so that you could have victory today. And I'm thankful for that, Pastor Gary. You know, the incarnation is really what separates Christianity from all the other religions of the world. Karna flesh, God became a man. The word became flesh. When Pilate at the Praetorium was introducing Jesus, he prophesied. He didn't know it, but he said, Behold the man is what differentiates, sets aside Christianity from every other religion in the world. Absolutely. And I love the resurrection of Christ because it is that historical fact. All these other religions, they have ideas or concepts, but we have a historical Christ. We have a man, Jesus of Nazareth, who proclaimed to be God, who did and was noted as performing miracles, demonstrating that he was something different. He was publicly crucified. And then his lifeless body was put in a tomb on Friday evening. And then on Sunday morning, just as he had said, just as prophets for centuries had said, He rose from the grave and personally, Pastor Rebecca, I think it takes more faith to believe that his disciples, all of whom except for John abandoned him, overpowered the equivalent of a Roman SWAT team that was stationed at the tomb, then took his body out. Oh, and before taking it out, unwrapped it from the grave clothes and neatly folded them up. You know, when I'm doing a heist, I like to leave the scene nice and neat and then hid his body somewhere in Jerusalem, which was somewhere between three times its normal population because of the Passover feast. And no one ever found the body. I think it takes more faith to believe that than to believe an angel came down from heaven, rolled the stone away because Jesus doesn't have to open his own doors. And Jesus the Christ stepped out, qualifying and quantifying everything he said so that we can put our faith, not in some ethereal God, but in a real, like you said, an incarnate, an in flesh God who bore the wounds for our salvation. Buddha's still in the grave, Confucius is still in the grave, Mohammed is still in the grave, but Jesus' tomb is empty. And you know, I like it whenever people try to say, well, that story of Jesus is not true. What would make his disciples and people generations after Jesus was on this earth give their lives, be tortured, be murdered for the cause of Christ if he didn't exist? There is facts. Like you said, Pastor Jonathan, there are facts to the fact that Jesus was here on earth. He died and he rose again. He is alive and well, Pastor Gary. And we have a hope not only for today, but for eternity. Hold your Bible up for a minute. This book is different than any other book that's ever been written in the history of mankind. And we're going to get into the word. Right now we're going to ask Pastor Myra if she would come over and join us. Join us in Matthew chapter 27. Oh, the Gospel is so rich and full of the Good Friday Resurrection Holy Week events. Now let's look at Good Friday for just a moment. Matthew 27 verse 45. Now from the sixth hour, Jesus is on the cross, until the ninth hour, there was darkness over all the land. And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice saying, Eli, Eli, Lama, Sabaq, Thami, that is my God, my God. Why have you forsaken me? Listen, the Bible tells us very plainly, the wages of sin is death. We've all sinned. We were all born with a sin nature because of Adam and Eve's rebellion in the garden. You and I deserve to die. But Jesus Christ took our place. The Bible says he became the propitiation, the substitute for our sins. And the Bible says he who knew no sin, Jesus never committed a sin, but he became sin for us as he hung on the cross. That is why the Father had to turn away. Because number one, Jesus took our place and he became sin for us. I get overwhelmed when I think about that fact that I know how on my worst days I feel. I know how on those days when I know I've fallen short of where God's wanted me to be, how that guilt feels like it's just overwhelming to me. And you've had things in your life, I'm sure as well, where you've done things that have been wrong, and you feel the Holy Spirit conviction on you, or you know even the sickness that you are dealing with in your life. And to think that everything that I have felt, everything that you have felt, everything that we all have felt in the negative, the pain, the agony, the guilt, the turmoil, whatever it might be, the grief that some of you may be going through right now. Jesus on Calvary bore all of that. How overwhelming that must have been. And then on top of it to know that God didn't want anything to do with him at that point because he couldn't look at him because of the sin that was on him. I can't imagine being in that position that Jesus was in. Just in the little bit that I feel in the guilt and pain in this world. But Jesus bore all of our guilt and pain on Calvary. Amazing God. And amazing grace. Amen. And I think about death as being defined as separation from life. And Jesus loved us so much. The father loved us so much that he took our place being separated from God, separated from life for eternity. Jesus tasted death so we wouldn't have to. And I'm just glad about that. I'm just thrilled. And some people might say, oh well, you all praise God too much. You all listen. If you understand what he did. If you really embrace what he did, rejoice. It causes you to rejoice because he did take our place. And it's one of those things that, you know, it validates what God says in the scriptures. There's no avoiding death for anyone. You know, you may be watching right now and say I'm a pretty good person. I'm not a sinner. I'm not as bad as this person or that person. And so the question isn't whether or not you're a sinner. I mean, that is, but the really overlying question is this. Do you expect to die one day? The Bible says in Hebrews that it's appointed for all men that they should die and then face judgment. And you might not think that you're a sinner, but I don't think that you can meet somebody who thinks that they're going to not die. But the scripture tells us in Romans 5 that death is in the world through sin. And that sin came through one man, the first Adam. But our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ came as the second Adam. And the Bible says just in the same way as Adam's one action caused all to die because all have sinned. How much more does Jesus's one act of righteousness, him being made flesh, him living a sinless life, him dying on the cross and him raising again. How much more does that one act affect those who by faith receive that act? And so right now the question isn't whether or not you have sinned. That's a sign sealed and delivered reality. But have you received by faith that action of Jesus Christ that makes men righteous? And I want to encourage you right now, no matter what you have done, no matter what you are currently doing, Jesus's blood is enough to cleanse and to remove the guilt and stain of sin from your life. All it takes is your faith in apprehending that what he did almost 2,000 years ago on the cross wasn't just for that bad person or for this good person. It was for all people and if you would just receive that now, his life would come and deliver you from death to life. What a great, great gift we have. Because the son, and I don't know who was more willing, the father or the son, because I know it was a great act for Jesus to come and do what he did. But I'm a father. Maybe you're a father or mother. I'm not giving my child for you. I'm just not. I love them too much. But our father in heaven gave his son for us because you know why? He knew he'd raise him back to life. He knew death wasn't going to hold him down. So I'm just thankful today that Jesus, like you said Pastor Gary, became my propitiation for sin so that I could have his life. That's right. He paid a debt. He did not owe. I owed a debt. I could not pay. You know Jesus, he was crucified on Passover. He is our Passover lamb. If you go all the way back to Exodus chapter 12, there were three requirements for the Passover lamb. Had to be a male, had to be without spot and had to die. And Jesus fulfilled as our Passover lamb all of those requirements. He shed his blood for us. And oh, there's power in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Then it says in Matthew 27 verse 50, and Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and then he yielded up his spirit. Then behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And the earth quaked and the rocks were split and the graves were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised and coming out of the grave after his resurrection. They went into the holy city and appeared to many. Wow, that is crazy. And my second point and one of the Gospels says it this way, it is finished. What does that mean? It is paid in full. You and I have been redeemed. We've been redeemed from the curse of the law. Galatians 3 says anyone that hangs on a tree is cursed. And Jesus hung on Calvary's tree and cross became a curse for us so that we could be redeemed from the curse of sin, the curse of sickness, the curse of poverty and the curse of death. And I like that is the veil was rent not from bottom to top. That's religion. That's man seeking God. This was God reaching down out of his great love to mankind. The veil was rent from top to bottom. It's finished. What he did for us. It is finished. Don't think that you have to do this, that and the other when you accept Christ by faith. It is finished. Now we're not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. John said it this way. He said he is faithful and just to forgive and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. It happened at the resurrection or on the cross and it's happening through our lives that Christ or the Word of God sanctifies us. The Word of God as we continue to eat the Word of God to subject ourselves to the Word of God. It washes us. It cleanses us. It's a finished work and I'm glad about it being finished. Even you who are watching right now who are suffering immensely, you suffer from a guilty conscience, a guilty conscience. And the Lord said in his Word that Jesus was raised from the dead and he cleansed us from a guilty conscience. You are cleansed if you allow yourself to just let God, let the Spirit of God do his work in you. It's finished. It is finished. Let God finish the work in you. Don't get weary. Don't stop. God is not finished with you yet but the work of the cross done. Amen. And that's something that you want to remember. It is finished but he's not finished. He's not done with you yet. I love this Word. It's one Word in Greek which is what the New Testament's written in. It was often seen in stores when a bill would be paid in full like Pastor Gary said. Now I'm of the generation. We didn't have Amazon and all these online and credit cards and different things like that. I grew up where when we went shopping we would go and there was this little room in the back of the department store called the Layaway Department. Because we couldn't just, Layaway was when you couldn't buy it outright but you wanted to get it so that it was still there. But what you would do is you would take the items that you were buying. You'd go back to the Layaway Department. You'd hand it to the person across the counter. They put it in a little box for you and it was on Layaway. It was held for you until the full price of the items were paid. But when the full price of the item was paid everything that was in the box was now yours for the taking. It belonged to you. Jesus through his work on the cross has stamped, paid in full on all of the promises, all of the blessings, all of the breakthroughs that you've been waiting. And I'm here to tell somebody today you don't have to wait for it anymore. You just have to go back to the room and pick up what's been paid for. Jesus has paid it all and all to him, I owe. Jesus has finished it. It is paid in full. So all you have to do is pick it up. It belongs to you. So your breakthrough, your healing, that financial miracle you're looking for, that restoration of family member and friends. It is all been paid for. You just have to pick it up. Ephesians 1 chapter 3 or chapter 1 verse 3 says it this way. He has blessed us with every blessing in heavenly places in Christ. They're not here. You have to go to heaven and get them. But Jesus has opened the way. The veil has been torn. We can go into the Holy of Holies and get what Jesus paid for. That's right. The Word of God tells us any man is in Christ. He has a new creation. Old things have passed away. Behold, all things become new. You are not bound to the sin in your life. You are not bound to those things of your past. Because Christ has come, it is finished. He has finished the work. You are a new creation in Christ Jesus. You just need to walk it out and trust Him. I love Pastor Mary, when you say about the Word of God sanctifying us. Because as we're in the Word of God, you say, well, what if I sin? What if I mess up? That's what the Word of God is there. The Holy Spirit will tap you on the shoulder and say, this is where you need to grow. The Word of God fills you up, fills your heart and your mind so you know what path to stay on. And it guides you so that when you do mess up, you ask God, forgive me for this mistake that I made, and you keep moving forward. You keep moving on. You are a new creation in Christ Jesus. Your old man would have just fallen back in your old ways. But because you are a new creation in Christ Jesus, you realize what he did on the cross is settled and done. And now you just have to keep moving forward. Keep trusting Him. Keep reading the Word. Keep allowing the Holy Spirit to direct your path. And you will make it because he doesn't want you to fail. He wants you to make it. It is finished in your life. His work is finished. Why do you think Jesus told you, don't worry, don't fret, don't be discouraged, don't fear? Why do you think the Scripture is filled with those things? Because Jesus finished it on Calvary. He knows there is nothing to fear. Not even death should we fear. I am thankful for the blood of Jesus. I am thankful that He rose and that He's coming back again. You know, Good Friday is the perfect day to just claim and receive your healing. Because it's been paid in full. It's finished. Jesus took every sickness, every disease, every pain on His body and with and by the stripes He bore, Jesus shed His blood seven different times. And He shed that blood for your healing and for mine. Well, let's finish this up in Matthew 27 verse 54. So when the Centurion and those with Him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly saying, truly, this was the Son of God. And you know what the Bible says? Every knee must bow. Every tongue is going to confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord of all. Now you and I can either do it willingly now by surrendering our heart and life to Him, or one day we're all going to bow in subjection to His Lordship. I choose to do it right now today. You know, I often say that, you know, when He appears, there will be people who say, oh my God, and then we will rejoice. But all of those who reject Him, all of those who poo poo what He's done and who He is and what He calls us to do and to be. When He appears, they will say, oh my God, and utter dread and fear, because they will realize how wrong they were. And if you're watching this right now and you are someone who has mistaken Jesus for someone other than the King and Creator of the universe, the Son of the Living God, my prayer is that you would begin to reconsider by the help of the Holy Spirit who you see Him to be. But nevertheless, Pastor Myra, He is the Son of God. That's right. That's right. That's right. And don't be discouraged about what you see on TV and how people are downplaying Jesus and making a mockery of believers. And don't be discouraged. Every knee is going to bow. Every tongue is going to confess. Now don't be angry with them. Pray for them. Love them. But it is so. Sometimes you can look around and you can hear. I cringe when I hear some people say some things on TV or whatever. But know that God is God. And He's going to show Himself. He's going to convince them that He is God. He said Himself. God said, I know of no other God. I'm the only God and there is no other. I don't know of any other. Every knee is going to bow. Just make sure your knee is bowed. Let us bow down to the sovereign God every day. Sovereign God who, sovereign being, He can do what He wants, when He wants, how He wants, with whom He wants, and He wants to do with you. Let God do with you every knee. Let it be that you bow down to the sovereign God even now and confess that He has charge of your life. Pastor Myers, you were saying that I was just thinking how many of us on a daily basis really, truly look to Him as God with a holy fear, with a reverential fear. Not a, oh my goodness, God's going to strike me dead. No. It's God has all power like you were saying. He has. He's sovereign. He has all authority. And realizing that and saying, God, you are the God of the universe and you love me. You gave your son for me. You did that for me. Who am I? Thank you, God, because I know that if that's the case, then you love me that much, that you're going to take care of me. And I don't have to be concerned about the things in this world. I don't have to be concerned about things in this life. I know that one day, even though I see things happening in the government, even though I see things happening around the world, one day everyone who is blasphemed you, one day everyone who has come against the body of Christ, Christian believers, everyone who comes against you as you witness for the cause of Christ, they are going to recognize that Jesus is Lord. They are going to bow and they're going to confess that he is the only God of the universe. So don't be afraid. Don't feel like you have to shriek back whenever you're in conversation with somebody. Tell them about Jesus. This is the greatest time in the Christian's life to be able to share the gospel while people are looking at candy and what they can buy for their kids. You can say, do you understand what this is really about? And be a testimony to those that are surrounding you at Easter dinner, Resurrection Sunday dinner. Have that conversation with your family members who may not know Christ because one day, whether you say something or not to them, they're going to recognize that Jesus is Lord. And I think that all of us would rather them recognize it while they have an opportunity to say yes to the Lord than when it's too late. That's right. We're going to invite you to go over to the music set and lead us in a time of worship. Remember, if you need prayer, the number is there 888-665-4483. Make sure you get your communion elements together because we're going to take communion real briefly. As Pastor Rebecca sings for us, Mercy said, No. It was just a child when I felt the Savior's leading. I was wrong to what I could not understand. And it was for the cause of Christ I have spent days believing that what He'd have me be is who I am. And as I've come to see the weaker side of me. We saw how Jesus gave up His resurrection Sunday, even death, and the grave couldn't hold Him. You know, Paul says in Corinthians, the last enemy, the last enemy that Satan had in his bag of tricks was death. And if death couldn't hold Him, if Jesus defeated death, the last enemy, He defeated any that Satan has. And there is great victory in Jesus. So many people have called for prayer. We're going to be closing our time together at the altar, just praying for miracles. As we celebrate the greatest miracle in all of history, Jesus Christ rising from the dead and the grave. Many have called back with answers to prayer. Gina called. Her 13-year-old daughter went missing. She called our prayer line for prayer. She said the very next day her girl was found and she is safe and sound. She is so, so grateful for that. Alice called to receive prayer. She had kidney stones. She was bleeding and she called for prayer. The stones broke up. She passed them and she now is healed. Carol called back for answer to prayer after receiving a job that she was believing for. And then a couple of, move your mountains ago. I had a word of knowledge about someone having pain in their jaw and their mouth area. Margaret called. She said that she was in terrific pain. The swelling left. The tooth, the gums were all healed. She woke up the next morning completely healed by the presence of the Lord. He is a miracle working God. His power has not changed nor will it ever. So those that have received their healing, their answers to prayer. It's not finished in that aspect, but Christ has conquered. He has finished everything that you need for your healing. So believe. He's going to do it for you. I know it. You know, one of those things that just God is a finder of lost things that this young lady that went missing, you know, it just reminds me of how God seeks and saves things that are lost. And maybe you're sitting there right now and you're watching this and you feel lost in life. You feel lost in all of the drama that's going on in the world around us. You feel maybe lost in depression or lost in guilt and unforgiveness. Maybe you feel lost in hopelessness or loneliness. I want to remind you that Jesus is the finder of lost things. And there was something as we get ready to take communion, a meal that Jesus instituted on the night that he was betrayed. That set this whole weekend off. One of the elements that Jesus fulfilled. He was a prophetic fulfillment. He was the Passover lamb. And one of the amazing things about that lamb and Pastor Gary mentioned three things that were qualifiers for that lamb. It had to be without spot or blemish. Jesus was without sin. It had to be a male. Jesus is a man. And it had to die. Well, everybody had to bring a Passover lamb for their household because it goes back to Exodus 12 where God said, Put the blood of the lamb on the doorpost of your home so the death angel sees the blood and passes over. And that became an instituted ceremony from that moment in Egypt all throughout the history of Israel. And one of the things that I love the most is people would bring the lamb for their household. The priests would take the lamb and they never inspected the person. They never inspected the sinner. They only ever inspected the lamb. And as we get ready to take communion, maybe you're feeling lost. Maybe you're feeling forgotten. Maybe you're feeling like God would never receive you. I want to remind you that when God looks at us, he doesn't look at our sin. He looks at the lamb. He sees the blood. He doesn't see the things that we've done. He sees the blood, but we have to apply the blood to our life and there's only one way to do it. And it's by putting our faith and hope and trust in Jesus and what he did almost 2,000 years ago on the cross. And if that you right now and you say, I'm lost, I feel the death angel knocking, but I want the blood of the lamb. I just want you to just say that right now. Say, God, I want your blood to cleanse me and make me whole. I apply your act, Lord Jesus, to my life right now. I place your blood. I allow your blood to come and wash all of my sins. And I come to you today knowing that you're not looking at me with judgment, but you're looking at the lamb. You're inspecting his perfection and not my imperfection. You're inspecting his spotlessness and not all of my guilt and my shame. And I submit and I surrender my life to you as not only my Savior, but as my King and as my Lord. And I ask you, Lord Jesus, to lead me in the ways of everlasting life. Lead me in the ways of truth. Lead me out of the things that put the spots on my life and into the things that make my life more perfect like your life is. I give my life to you and take your life in exchange. And I thank you for your sacrifice for me in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Well, if you prayed that prayer, just sense a peace coming over you right now. If you would like some information free without any obligation to help you in your new walk with the Lord, you could call the prayer partner and say, I just prayed with that man on TV. We'll be more than happy to send it to you. Well, we're going to take communion if you have your elements. Pastor Meyer, would you pray over them, please? Father, we thank you and we praise you for all the sacrifice, the sacrifice you made of your son, Jesus. Jesus, we thank you for being so willing to give yourself on our behalf, to be the substitution. So we receive this remembering what you did, remembering how your body was broken. Your body was broken down, was whipped. You went through it in your body and you shed your blood because you knew that without the shedding of blood, there's no remission of sin. So we thank you for what you've done and we give you glory as we remember and rejoice about it. Take your cracker, your wafer, your piece of bread, eat of it now and be healed in the name of Jesus, the Christ of Nazareth. Just let healing virtue right now go through every part of your body. Organs be healed, blood be cleansed, pain, sickness leaves your life now. According to the word of the Lord, Pastor Rebecca, would you pray over the cup? Father, we can't thank you enough. Our words are inadequate to say thank you for the blood that you shed for our sins. And Father, we do. We just praise you, Lord, with our lives. We honor you and we thank you for what you did on Calvary for shedding your blood for each and every one of us so that we don't have to stand in guilt, in fear and in shame because you have cleansed us and set us free. Father, thank you. Thank you for your blood today in Jesus' name. Alright, take your cup and drink of it now and be washed and cleansed by the blood of the Lamb. There's power in the blood. Yes, there is. Power in the blood. The blood will never lose its power. Yes, yes. The blood was shed for you. Shed for you. Don't forget that. The Lord love you that much. There's somebody watching you're just about to give up hope, but this word that has come today, you have, you're debating whether or not to take it. Take it. Take it. Go on. Take it. Have hope in that word. Not in us, but in God and in his word. He will lift you up. He will lift you up. Well, Robert called from Mercer, Pennsylvania. Pray gave his heart to the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes. Robert, welcome to the family. There is a party going on in heaven today, brother. Yes, yes. He only inspects the Lamb. I mean, we got to grab that. That's good. We need that to remember that. Because even if you're watching and you're a follower of Jesus, it's real easy. Like you said, Pastor Rebecca, to have this unjust fear of God. Oh, he's going to get me. He's going to, no, no, no, no. He inspects the Lamb and he remembers what Jesus did for you. He has to remember to always make a big deal of the blood of the Lamb. Ain't no party like a Holy Ghost party. Holy Ghost party, don't stop. We rejoice with you, my brother. Welcome to the family of God. That's right. Hey, if you are blessed by programs like Move Your Mountain, maybe the lineup of all of our in-house programs we do hope today, which is our flagship, many, many other sister to sister, and Origins, Hard Questions, Nashville Today, Dashing Dish, you know, Arlene's program that's been on for years and years, which is a favorite. Or maybe you enjoy our lineup of national programs, David Jeremiah, Pastor Jeffers, The 700 Club, Joyce Myers, Joseph Prince. You know, we all have a favorite. I know we do. Right now we're playing a Passover special with Dr. Larry Hock, who him and his wife have a program on our station. But we need your help. We need your prayers and your partnership so we can continue to bring these programs to you. We are celebrating in this month of April our 43rd anniversary. For 43 years this ministry has done nothing but bring good news, 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Let me give you our address. It's Cornerstone Television Network, One Signal Hill Drive, Wall, Pennsylvania, 15148-1499. We're going to thank you in advance for your gift. Thank you so much. Well, we're going to go back to Pastor Rebecca as we head over to the altar to pray with you as she sings for us forever. Oh, Pastor Rebecca, this is Victory Weekend. I love Resurrection Sunday. I know people call it Easter Sunday, but I call it Resurrection because that's what it's about to us. Yeah, and the victory we have. The victory he brought on the cross for us. That resurrection says that we can get up to. Because he lives, we will live also. Amen. Amen. And that's one of the things I love about it is that it's truly life. First, John 5 says, he who does not have the son has not life. Doesn't say that you're just dead because you might be breathing right now. But if you don't have Jesus, you have not life. And I can guarantee and testify that my life, I am like you said, Pastor Rebecca, a new creature in Jesus Christ. And that's why we celebrate. Jesus takes the old and makes it new. And I know he's doing it for you right now. Just lay hold of that promise and watch him do it. Let's get excited. Get excited about the Lord and all that he's accomplished for us. Well, so, so many of you have called for prayer. Many of you have written to us. We take all of your requests very, very seriously. We not only pray over them once, but again and again and again. That's why we leave them here on the altar. So join with us if you haven't had a chance to call or write. Remember, there's no distance in the Holy Spirit. So just join your faith with us. And would you begin for us, Pastor? Father, I thank you so much for who you are, God. We do rejoice in you. We are excited about you, about your love for us, about your redeeming power, about the fact that you are coming again. And Father, we're excited about the fact that we have testimony of what you have done in our lives. We've heard it already on the program here today, Lord, of testimonies of how you've delivered and set free, how you've brought the lost back home, Father. And we know that if those testimonies are true, God, as they are, Lord, your word stands firm, that you do not change. And Father, every person that is represented here, every request that is represented here on this altar, God, you are going to bring about healing, deliverance, Lord restoration, whatever is needed. And Father, I pray that as we are coming into this weekend of resurrection, God, that you would just let your resurrection power come alive, that they would begin to see that you are the God that heals sets free and delivers, Lord Jesus. Father, I pray for family members who may not know you as Lord and Savior that as a result of this weekend, as a result of our testifying to them about who you are, and how you want a relationship with them, God, that they would come to know you as Lord and Savior, break down every wall, break down every barrier, every hindrance from that happening, Father. And Lord, I pray that we receive testimony back here at the station on the miracle-saving power of Jesus Christ that has happened in families this week. Father, we love you, and we thank you for who you are and all that you are in Jesus' name. Yes. Thank you, Jesus. And Father, we thank you for each and every one who took that step of faith to call in, to write in. And even we pray now for that one who has been reluctant to call in because they feel like that there's one among too many. But let them know that you hear and answer prayer, every single prayer. We pray now over each one, and we pray now for those who are watching. Father, we're in it together. And we say thank you for what you're going to do in the lives of your people. We thank you. We praise you and give you glory in advance. Yes. And Lord, we just pray right now for those who have been long-suffering right now, Lord God. I pray for those who may be on the cusp of becoming weary and well-doing. Lord, I pray in Jesus' name that you would remind them that on good Friday, things looked like it was over. Things looked like it couldn't get any worse. Things looked like it was done. But you didn't say it was done. You said it is finished. And I pray right now in Jesus' name for those, Lord God, who have been waiting for answers to prayer, who have been waiting and it feels like a dark night of the soul, Lord God, that you would remind them that it might feel like it's Friday, but Sunday is coming. And Lord, I pray for resurrection power even now to be released through television sets, through mobile devices, Lord God, into prison cells, into hospitals, into nursing homes, into living rooms and dining rooms and homes all across the globe right now, Lord God, that they would receive swiftly, Lord God, what they have been waiting to see, that they would rejoice, Lord God, even as they did on that morning when they saw the Lord was risen, Lord God, let us keep that same spirit of praise in our hearts as we celebrate your resurrection in Jesus' name. Amen, amen. You know, shortly after the Lord's glorious resurrection, the common greeting between the Christians and the believers was not high. How you doing? They would say, he is risen, and the response was, he is risen indeed. So celebrate his glorious resurrection from death, from hell and the grave, and just walk in victory today.
