#1. Because of the Resurrection We Serve A Risen Savior, A Living Redeemer! #2. Because Of The Resurrection We Have a Living Hope. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1 Peter 1:3 NKJV #3. Because of the Resurrection We Know That God Is In Control and Nothing Takes Him by Surprise. We may make our plans, but God has the last word. Proverbs 16:1 GNT "When You Try To Control Things That Are Not Controllable, It Creates Stress. Stress Is Caused By Trying To Control The Uncontrollable. Worry Is A Form Of Control." #4. Because of The Resurrection, Jesus Sent The Holy Spirit!

The First Word From The Cross “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Luke 23:34 NLT The Second Word From The Cross “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke23: 43 NIV The Third Word From The Cross “Woman ,  here is your son,”  27  and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.”  John 19:26-27 NIV The Fourth Word From The Cross “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” Matthew 27:46 NKJV The Fifth Word From The Cross “I thirst!” John 19:28 The Sixth Word From The Cross “It is finished!” John 19:30 The Seventh Word From The Cross “Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’ ” Luke 23:46

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. 2 Corinthians 4:1 (NKJV) 8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (NKJV) 13 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak. 2 Corinthians 4:13 (NKJV) 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NKJV)

How to have a resilient, bounce-back faith. Pandemic: “pan,” meaning “all,” and “demos,” meaning “people.” A pandemic is “an epidemic of an infectious disease that spreads through populations across a large region; for instance a continent, or even worldwide.” It is a THREAT to the health and lives of a significant percentage of the world’s population. Then the officers will also say, “Is anyone here afraid or worried? If you are, you may go home before you frighten anyone else.” Deuteronomy 20:8 (NLT) 7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land. And I brought him back a report according to my convictions, 8 but my fellow Israelites who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt in fear. Joshua 14:7, 8 (NIV) 6 When the Israelites saw that their situation was critical and that their army was hard pressed, they hid in caves and thickets, among the rocks, and in pits and cisterns. 7 Some Hebrews even crossed the Jordan to the land of Gad

Psalm 91 offers great inspiration and hope for this time of crisis in our land. We prepare and don't panic. And we pray the promises of God.

18 And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people), Ephesians 1:18 AMPLIFIED 18 I counsel you to buy from Me… healing salve to put on your eyes so that you may see. Revelation 3:18 (AMPLIFIED) Eleven Ways The Holy Spirit Helps Us: 1. The Holy Spirit CONVICTS Of Sin and Nudges Us To Repent and Believe On Jesus Christ! 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me… John 16:7-9 (NKJV) 2. The Holy Spirit SEALS Us and Is God’s Guarantee – Down Payment On Eternity.

God wants to bless through us. Let's turn to Genesis 12:3.

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!” 4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.” 8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?”

There was no one quite like him. He could do anything—interpret dreams, solve mysteries, explain puzzles. His name is Daniel, but he was renamed Belteshazzar by the king. Have Daniel called in. He’ll tell you what is going on here.” Daniel 5:12 MSG Inasmuch as an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting dreams, solving riddles, and explaining enigmas were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, now let Daniel be called, and he will give the interpretation.” Daniel 5:12 NKJV “Don’t pray for opportunities. Opportunities will come. Pray to be ready when they come.” – Edwin Louis Cole 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31 36 For you have need of endurance (patience), so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

Main Idea: When we pray and fast we make room for God’s presence in our life. 5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Matthew 6:5-8 “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your

39 When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth. 40 And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him. 41 His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. 43 When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it. Luke 2:39-43 44 but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day’s journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances. Luke 2:44 45 So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. 46 Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers. Matthew

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. 11And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Matthew 2:10-11 #1. Be STUBBORN!! “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11:29 (NIV) “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” Matthew 5:5NIV Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth. Numbers 12:3 KJV For I have come down from heaven not to do My will but to do the will of Him who sent Me. John 6:38 NIV #2. Be SELFISH. PRESS for your Passions and demand Your DREAMS! #3. Hold On To Your HURTS! See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. Hebrews 12:15 NIV #4. COMPARE Yourself With OTHERS! When Peter n

Do you remember the best Christmas gift you ever received? “This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1:18-23‬ ‭NIV‬‬

16 For God so loved the world that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 6Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; 7or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; 8he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who GIVES, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. Romans 12:6-8 v. 6 – “Prophecy” - You declare an insight of the Holy Spirit resulting in edification, exhortation and comfort to others (1 Cor. 14:3). v. 7 – “Ministry” (Serving/Helps) – Enjoy meeting needs on a practical basis. v. 7 – “Teaching” – Enjoy searching out and presenting Scriptural truths. v. 8 – “Exhortation” (Encouragement) – admonishes and encourages others (Barnabas) v. 8 – “Giving” – Enjoys meeting material needs, often through finances (Barnabas) v. 8 - “Leading” (Administration) – Effe

A.W Tozer says, What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” Matthew 1:21-23-She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[f] because he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). John 1:14a The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. John 1:1- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Jesus the Word of God. Colossians 1:15-16: Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,[e] 16 for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see— such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.
