The Resurrection

Prayer: Dear heavenly Father, this is a fresh time.  People are hearing and moving on what You have called them to do.  They are not allowing a thing like experience get in the way; but are moving with absolute faith and determination.  Hallelujah!  It's with this Spirit that Your impact is made.  Great things are happening and coming.  This is a time to listen and move; even when it doesn't make sense.  For Your Word doesn't make "sense," it builds FAITH.  May those who have heard a specific Word from You, not just a message but clear instruction - obey that instruction.  I pray that they do not ignore it.  I pray that they move and see You, full of Glory.  There's time, but time should not be used as an excuse to be slow or not to move.  It's not as much time as we may think and we don't want to get left behind.  Thank You for your mercy and revelation of pure wisdom, always right on time.  Your blessings never stop.  To ask You to bless us, is contrary to what You are already doing.  You are the blessing to Your people.  So I praise and thank You for your blessings that are continuous and ever lasting.  LORD, I adore You.  I love You with my full heart.  And the new creature that You are showing me to be, is awesome - because she (/he) is more like You every day.  Praise Your Name LORD, JESUS!!! Amen.
Pray this prayer if it's speaks the words in your heart.


Below is next week's study.  Take today and the weekend to read the last chapter in the Gospel of Mark.  Take time to rest in the Resurrection of our living Savior; who is more than words can say, always present and full of love for you and me.  Take command and live in obedience, in your blessings.

Mark 16

The Resurrection
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 are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. 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.' "
Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.
((The most reliable early manuscripts and other ancient witnesses do not have Mark 16:9-20.))
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 good news to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues18 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. 20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.

Have a wonderful weekend!
