If Christ Be Not Risen

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Hello Beloved Ambassadors . . .

Sweet, sweet greetings to Phenomenal You in the Amazingly Amazing Name of our Darling Lord & Savior!

Yes, sweet greetings, indeed!

Today, I want us all to reflect upon our Darling King and what His Life, Death & Resurrection really means to us, His Disciples, Followers, Believers, Ambassadors of the Kingdom.

It appears that there have always been questions about whether or not He truly was raised from the dead. Let’s pull back the pages and hear what people were saying back in the days of the early Church. Let’s go to I Corinthians, Chaper 15.

~

I Corinthians 15: 12-23

12)Â Now if Christ be preached that He rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

13)Â But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

14)Â And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

15)Â Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ: Whom He raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

16)Â For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

17)Â And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

18)Â Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

19)Â If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

20)Â But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

21)Â For since by man came death, by Man came also the resurrection of the dead.

22)Â For as in Adam all die, even so, in Christ shall all be made alive.

23) But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at His coming.

Oh, Precious and Beloved of God, He is risen.

He’s alive and we are forgiven.

His arms are opened wide.

He’s Alive! He’s Alive! He’s Alive!

And we are alive in Him! Hallelujah!

Hallelujah, indeed!

Blessings & Much Agape!

YOUTH

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Hello Awesome Ambassadors . . .

Today I present to you the lyrics of a song that I wrote a few years ago. It is simply called, “Youth.” This is a song of war. War for our children. This song reminds me of young David when he encountered Goliath. He was not moved by the size of Goliath or by his threats of annihilation. David knew his God was with him.

Well, the very same God is not only with us, He is in us! And He has given us authority and power over all the works of the enemy and WE CAN take back our kids no matter how far they have fallen or how black their midnights.

So let us stop listening to the enemy’s lies and boldly tell him what we will do. Tell him and show him that we have authority over him, and we will snatch our kids out of his evil hands. And then without fear RUN TOWARD him knowing that because of our covenant, our God backs us up!

Well Precious Ambassadors, here is “Youth” . . .

YOUTH


No, no . . . no, no, no, uh ah, satan
No, no . . . no, you won’t!

Jesus gave to me the keys of His Kingdom
Whatever I bind on earth is bound in Heaven
The keys of His Kingdom, Jesus gave to me
Whatever I loose on earth is loosed in Heaven

What Authority . . . Jesus gave to me
When I speak His Name
satan, you’re brought to shame

Because of my covenant
My God backs me up!

Jesus said that I could lay hands on the sick
When I lay my hands, they would recover
And I lay my hands on the Youth today
satan, you cannot have
you will not have another!

For with Authority
I bring you to your knees
Yes, in Jesus’ Name
I break your every chain

Because of my covenant
My God backs me up!

Father . . . Son . . . And . . . Holy Ghost!

I overcome by the Blood of the Lamb
And the word of my testimony
And I say hey Youth . . . you stand for Jesus
More than conquerors
You got the Victory!

satan, I break your chains
In Jesus Mighty Name
Forever taste defeat
Under my feet!

Because of my covenant
My God backs me up!

Father . . . Son . . . And . . . Holy Ghost!


No, no . . . no, no, no, uh ah, satan
No, no . . . no, you won’t!

Much Love and Great Peace,
