Grace and Peace be unto each of you from God, our Father, Jesus, our Savior, and the Holy Spirit, our Guide,

We were TREMENDOUSLY blessed on last night with Pastor Damian Chandler and the Word that the Lord gave Him emanating from Matthew 27 and 28.  What a relevant word that each of us can live resurrected, redeemed lives because the Lord has dispatched an angel on our behalf that has moved the stone, but not only moved it, he sat on it symbolizing complete and absolute control over a hard, immovable thing.  In this regards we are given a picture that those things that have been trying to keep us limited and confined in a dark, dead, and dismal place is no longer a factor.  The angel sitting on the stone says that whatever potentially prohibits me from exiting this place of confinement is no longer effective.  It can’t and won’t hold me back.  And the ONLY thing left for me to do is to WALK OUT of this place where I was dead but am now made alive.  We have just entered into a place of limitlessness in God.

Reminder:  We will again have an opportunity during this HOLY WEEK to experience and encounter a moment in the Lord’s presence with Pastor Robert Pearl and the Mountain Ministry Church and Praise Team.  Pastor Pearl as well is a preacher par excellence and will have a relevant Word just for you.  Also we will conduct Holy Communion and a Feet Washing Service symbolizing the tremendous sacrifice Jesus made on the Cross.  Of all times to take Communion and regard the sacrifice, tonight should be a mandatory opportunity for the Saints to reflect on the Savior.  Today’s encouragement is taken from a very familiar passage of scripture and reminds us of the VICTORY we have through Christ Jesus our Lord.
But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.  (1 Corinthians 15:57)
As we celebrate the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, we do so knowing that Jesus completely and utterly vanquishes the power of the enemy.  In essence, Jesus annihilates and breaks the back of the enemy and all of his energy, efforts, and evil.  I submit to you that because Jesus overcame sin, death and the grave, He gives us access to the abundant life.  There is NOTHING we can’t do in Him.  He is indeed the author and the finisher of our faith.  He’s our strength.  He’s our peace.  He’s our joy.  He’s our  provider.  With Him VICTORY is a foregone conclusion and it’s already done.

It does not matter what stronghold, sickness, sin, addiction, or bondage the enemy has tried to keep me sealed in, Jesus, releases and sets me free with power.  Sin and shame can’t hold you back any longer from your purpose and His promise.  Now is the time for you to walk in victory knowing that I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.  With Christ there is no way you can lose and it is when our trust and faith in Him catapults and places us in an assured place of victory.  He causes us to ALWAYS TRIUMPH!!
May this day and EVERY day find you prospering and blessed in Him by WALKING IN VICTORY!!  I pray to see you tonight as we reflect on His ultimate sacrifice.

NOTE:  This will be my last Lenten Season message, however, I will continue to provide weekly encouragement blogs on our website. Please check Overseer's Blog for updates.

Happy HOLY WEEK!!!
