are getting better say it like you believe it things are i feel it down in my soul that things are getting better this is the first time that we have been in church like this in over a year in over a year somebody said we wouldn't make it but we made it i will bless the lord at all times and his praise shall continually be in my mouth i'm trying to take it slow because i am so overwhelmed i am so overwhelmed because i prayed for this day that we will i pray for this day that we will be back into the house of the lord i know there are those that are still afraid to come out and i understand that i'm not criticizing that whatsoever but i want to thank the pastoral team i want to thank co-pastor susie bishop brown executive pastor crystal and before he left certainly our youth and young adult pastor passed the will [Applause] for every week every week coming up coming up with a program a plan to keep you engaged wednesday nights sometimes thursday nights certainly sunday mornings just want to thank them they have taken a tremendous weight off of me y'all know i'm 75 now they have taken a tremendous tremendous weight off of me and i want to thank in addition to our um wonderful pastors i want to thank our music our music ministry elder young sister tammy [Music] all of the praise teams and these musicians i want to thank the sound people who take care of the streaming and the camera people and the nurses and the ushers and security and anybody that i didn't call you know who you are i just thank you thank you thank you you may be seated in the presence of the lord in the presence of the lord he is lord he is lord he has risen from the grave and he is lord every knee shall bow every tongue confess that jesus christ is lord he is lord aren't you glad about it he is

he lives [Music] i can face tomorrow [Music] because he lives all fear is gone because i know who holds my future my life is worth the living just because he lives jesus went to california you know this to [Music] happened on savorish what did he do at calvary they hung him high stretched him wide [Music] but here we go but that's not how the story is [Music] you may be seated i want to talk a few moments about resurrection sunday [Music] whoever that was in the background thank you believe it or not there are those who wonder despite our celebration what's the big deal why all the hype there are those who only celebrate the commercial aspect of this day i grew up with the easter basket colored easter eggs we didn't know back then about an easter egg hunt but certainly mama took us to the goodwill and we had easter outfits that we considered brand new then of course the easter bunny um i asked someone to pull this up for me i don't know if if you and my there's some people here in my age group but i think this was from the caucasian community it certainly wasn't from our black roots because in my day our mothers and grandmothers took us to church so we knew the importance of the day but this just dropped into my spirit here comes peter cottontail hopping down the bunny trail hippity hopping easter's on its way and there is no mention of the death of jesus on the cross no mention of his burial had no mention of his resurrection from the grave however up from the grave heroes the song says with the mighty triumph over his foes that's what i learned my little time with the african american zion methodist movement they did stress he got up others asked why is this the greatest day in the christian calendar especially when the event we referred to happened over 2 000 years ago why do millions in our world hollow this day and sanctify this day as the day of days for those of us who believe yes for those of us who believe for everyone does not believe there are skeptics and critics non-believers agnostics and atheists but the bible says if any man or woman would come to god and believe that's how easy it is come to god and believe that god is they would know that god not only is but god is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him do i have about three of y'all in here that'll wave your hand and you know you've been rewarded by god for those who diligently seek him i that old song i kept on searching i kept on searching i kept on searching until i found the lord and he rewarded me part of our search and part of our seeking uncovers and discovers the answer to the question what is this resurrection thing all about or what does it prove to us for today we don't have to defend god now you don't have to defend god god can defend very well himself but god is not on trial and god is not intimidated by an investigation of himself you can investigate god search his background and his history search the records of humanity and you will find as pilot's wife and pilot finally decided i find no fault in him i find no fault in him and according to an investigation of god himself with men this is impossible can you say but with god with men this is impossible but with god all things are possible so i want to just examine three points on resurrection sunday while everybody is questioning those unbelievers are questioning and they're commercializing i want to give you three facts that we as believers stand on today concerning this resurrection first of all the resurrection proves that god keeps his word first of all the resurrection proves that god cannot lie if god said it then that settle said you've heard my story many years of when i was in my twenties and i i had a motto when i picked up a a few evangelistic services traveling and i had a motto if god said it i believe it that settles it but as i matured into my later 20s and early 30s god said take that middle part out and i stopped saying if god said it i believe it that settles it and i changed it to if god said it that settles it because if god says something it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not if god said it it's already settled if god said it it shall and will come to pass can i get a witness up in here with men this is impossible but with god all things are possible everything may not be probable but certainly with god everything is possible god keeps his word his word is his bond john 2 and 19 jesus answered and said unto them hear this destroy this temple and in three days i will build it and raise it up again he's but the bible said he spoke of his body destroy this temple destroy this body and in three days i will raise it up again and the bible says when therefore he was risen from the dead his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them and they believed the scripture and the word which jesus had said today proves that god keeps his word he does not lie because he cannot lie go ahead drive the nails in my hand laugh at me where you stand go ahead say it isn't me but very soon you will see he said i'll rise again and can't no devil in hell hold him down what does that have to do with you if jesus rose you can get up from every negative situation jesus said destroy this temple i will build it up again jesus got out of the grave and whatever is trying to hold you that devil is a liar maya angelou said but still i rise some of you listening to me right now at home or wherever you are in the sanctuary you know the devil had pronounced a death situation over your life but look at you now what the devil meant for evil god raised you up you're looking good to me right now god cannot lie he said he's going to rise again he rose and god said to tell you today whatever negative situation you're in you can rise from it you can rise from it because god keeps his word he rose from the dead just like he said he would um elder young and co-pastor susie the students of cbi and some of you can relate to this you don't have to slay the lamb anymore you don't have to put no more blood over the door someone has taken the place of the lamb oh i feel like preaching his name is jesus the great i am jesus the great i am he got up just like he said he would the cross is not the end the cross was not the end that's why when we wear the cross we don't wear the crucifix we take him off of the cross and we wear the cross and we don't wear the crucifix because he's no longer crucified right now he is our risen savior so we where the cross to represent we identify with him but we don't take the crucifix and put it on the cross because he got up from the grave can i get some help up in here he got up just like he said he would what are you trying to say in your first principle bishop owens he's a promise keeper he's a real promised keeper buddha did not get up confucius did not get up but hammond did not get up and the list goes on and on george washington did not get up oh my god but jesus is the greatest promise keeper and i want to tell everybody in this room and those listening god will take care of you take this as a prophetic word on this resurrection sunday god will i wish i had about 10 believers i said god will keep your mask on and look at somebody on your row and tell them god will take care of you yes he will yes he will yes he will god is not a man that he could lie god does not lie the devil lies men lie women like kids lie you may lie but god does not lie he got up and an empty grave is there just to prove god keeps his word that's my first principle what has he said to you he keeps his word what is he promised you he keeps his word and you know what i found out even if you don't live to see it if god promised it to you it's going to come to pass secondly not only does god keep his word and god does what he said it was going to do and that's on your behalf too nothing can hold god nothing can hold god h-o-l-d death had him but death couldn't hold him hell had him but hell couldn't hold him the grave had him but the grave could not hold him he took the sting out of death and the victory out of the grave and snatched the keys of death hell and the grave and shouted cait no grave hold my body down they thought they had him but he got away let me preach joseph let me preach he got away that means if he got up from death hell and the grave you can get up from whatever negative forces and spirits have you they may have you but they can't have to hold you no no not to have and to hold no not when it comes to god and your relationship anything can have you but anything does not have to hold you any hellish situation any death threats over your life depression oppression suppression just being pressured it may have you but it's got to let you go that's a good place to clap your hands anything that's trying to kill you i'm hoping i'm encouraging somebody anything that's trying to kill you has to turn you loose the devil thought he had me and he did but i got a loose i got away i got away i got away from his oppressive stronghold and i'm looking at some people that i just discerned you have come out of strongholds you've come out of stuff that the devil said he would always have control over you but god looked beyond your faults and saw your knees and now you can sing i'm free no longer bound no more chains holding me my soul is resting is such a blessing praise the lord hallelujah any free people clap your hands in here that's my second principle nothing can hold him and nothing can hold you for the greater is he is in you he has the loosest hope he has to give you loose he has a turn you lose drugs may have had you but drugs can't hold you alcohol may have had you but alcohol can hold you a bad relationship may have had you but somebody right here now has been delivered it had you thought you could never break loose but god set you free low self-esteem no self-esteem may have had you pity may have had you frustration may have had you yes sin had you but he could not hold you that couldn't call hold god and it can't hold you no weapon that's formed against you shall prosper there's no life so wasted that god can't save no sin so great that god can't cleanse no burden so heavy that god won't bear no person too far away for god to reach the powerful grip of the enemy has to loosen and let you go he proved that what goes up must come down that's what we say but god proved on the cross that what goes down has got to come up whatever has pulled you down whatever is killing you god can get you up tell your neighbor don't count me out don't don't don't don't count me out he will pick you up and turn you around and place your feet on solid ground wave your hand if i'm too long i saw those hands listen to the listen until the question ends here's my third one number one god keeps his word he does not and cannot lie and he will not lie to you number two nothing can hold him this is resurrection and nothing can hold you it may have you but it came over here's the last one what is this day all about and i close with this maybe today indicates for us who believe god has all power [Applause] you may have you may have a little bit the white house and dr fauci and all the others may have a little bit but nobody but god has all power here it is matthew 28 and 18. after the resurrection after the resurrection matthew 28 and 18 jesus came and spoke unto the disciples now he's already been resurrected and he says to the disciples in that text all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth he said that after the resurrection he'd already gotten up and he met with the disciples and he said all power is given to me in heaven and in earth well he had already conquered hell because you know during that three-day period he went into hell to prove to the devil he's still defeated snatched the keys of death and hell in the grave from the devil so they are already been to hell so there's nothing left but heaven where he came from and the earth he said all power is given unto me proving that he is the greatest and the strongest power he is stronger than voodoo stronger than witchcraft stronger than warlocks stronger than demons and devils stronger than any power that tries to bind you god has all power power over cancer and disease and sickness and death and poverty and depression and suicide nervous breakdowns discord division divorce abuse violence mental illness covet 19 he has i wish y'all would shout all power don't you forget in your humanity and dealing with your earthlings those who have been in church for a while and got the word in you don't be so scared that you don't recognize that god has all power and unless the lord keep the house unless the lord keeps you comforted or no cope and mass or no mass watching your hands every second social discipline doesn't matter if the lord does not keep you and i don't know how it is now but we grew up singing all day and all night the angels are watching over me y'all heard that anybody heard that god has all power that power is in god's name the name of jesus that power is in his blood that power is in his word god has power over governments oh no i know there's a whole group of people there whole group of segregationists who thought that the election will go another way but if god be for you i said if god kings and kingdoms shall all pass away but there's something about that name kings and kingdoms shall all pass away but there is something about that name powers and principalities and spiritual weakness and high places and the rulers of the darkness of this world he has power over all of that i close with mark 16 17 and 18 and these signs hear this as i close these signs this is still jesus talking and these signs shall follow them that believe you mean i believe and i got some signs as a believer here it is you can check me out and these signs shall follow them that believe in my name now remember it's all done in his name is not your name in my name you believers in my name shall cast out devils you can say in the name of jesus devil get out of my face in the name of jesus you will not have my sons and my daughters in the name of jesus you have the power to cast out demons if you believe cast out devils they shall speak with new tongues if you don't speak in other tongues tell the devil i don't cuss no more that's a new tone shock the devil they shall take up serpents and if they drink any deadly thing if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them here's the key and they shall with a little bit of power he gave you and they shall this is what y'all got i'm reading it from the bible you got to use it and if it shall they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover have you learned to lay hands on yourself well i know you take a little what is that tylenol and advil and aleve i know you do but if you didn't believe it takes god to heal you even with the medicine if god doesn't work through the medicine am i making sense if god doesn't work he is the healer learn to i know many of you here put your hand on yourself and say in the name of jesus don't don't lose hold on the fact that god is still a healer let me hasten god has all power and he gave us some power too acts one verse seven and eight i've got one more page and i'm through i'm just so glad to have some bodies to preach to acts 1 verse 7 and hey and he said unto them it is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the father had put in his own power but ye shall receive power after the holy ghost has come upon you and you shall be witnesses unto me resurrection today god keeps his word nothing can hold him and god has all power and he gave you some too did y'all get anything out of that this res this represents getting up from being down getting over from being under getting through to get to hello sunshine s-o-n hello
