He Got Up.....Early Sunday Morning

• - Saturday passes but not without Jesus speaking to John in Revelation 1:18, “ I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of [a ]Hades and of Death.”
• - Why is that important, Jesus is signifying that He has absolute authority and control over death and the realm of the dead
• - It lets us know that Jesus has conquered death, hell and the grave
• - Then on Sunday morning, the first day of the week, early in the morning, Jesus rose from the grave
• - Mark 16: 1-7, “Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. 2 Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3 And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” 4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large. 5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. 6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. 7 But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”
• - Him getting up allowed us to have life and that more abundantly
• - Him getting up saved us for sin, shame, and hell
• - Him getting up gives us hope for a better tomorrow
• - Him getting up shows us who are in Him that we are more than conquerors
• - Him getting up changed my life

SPEAKER_01 0:05

Friday night, there's some folks who there's no question about whether or not they saved. They came out to give God some glory and to celebrate. I'm gonna talk about it a little bit. But listen, when you celebrate today, remember Jesus. If you don't remember Jesus, amen. I I I don't I don't know if you call yourself saved and you don't say nothing about Jesus to nobody, check your salvation. The anointing of a pastor who is in tune with God always considers the people of God. I find that there is always a desire within me within any pastor to feed God's people. To feed his sheep. Actually, it's it's odd. It's an odd feeling. I cannot ever abandon that understanding within me. I can't get rid of it. To me, guys, people. The reason I'm starting with this because this week has been a headache week. For me. And my health. Started out with a cold that I got from my granddaughter. And you know, three-year-olds don't know how to cover their mouth. They just know how to be up on you no matter what. I'm not gonna ever stop that. But it taught me something about myself. I gotta do a better job of taking care of my health. And what happened there, it blossomed into a full-blown cold that I could not get rid of. My throat was so sore on Monday night, I was trying to take pictures of it. Have y'all used your camera when you am I talking to anybody? Have you ever used your camera to see whether or not you're trying to self-diagnose yourself to see if you got strep throat? Amen. That's how bad my throat was hurting, but I couldn't get an active picture. My family was saying, you need to go to the doctor tonight. I said, I'm not going tonight because I know it's going to pass. And then the next night, my nasal passages swole up. So now I got a sore throat. My nasal passages, I cannot breathe. And anybody that has asthma understands how important breathing is. And being able to breathe through your nose so that you can get a decent night's rest. I was thankful for the bed that I have because I had to sit it almost all the way up in order to sleep comfortably. Even got into an argument with my wife about how I needed to sleep because I was so frustrated with breathing. Some of y'all don't understand that. On Wednesday, I get up and go to the doctor because I was struggling to breathe. And I was given everything but what I was except what I was looking for. I was looking for some antibiotics. But she didn't give me none. Instead, she gave me some tamuflu, lotadine, some benadryl, and some codeine for my cough. I said, that codeine is something else, it'll knock you down. I said, I can't take this too long. You end up being knocked out. I had to take all five on Wednesday. That's how bad I was. I was down on Thursday, but I was feeling just a little bit better. And by this time, you're right, Sister Parrish, I had resolved to not preaching on Sunday. The doctor told me, don't you go in that church and preach. And for some reason I agreed. I was like, I don't feel good. This feels horrible. And so I left myself in a place where I didn't want to come to church because of how I felt. And if it is powerful enough, anointed enough, Holy Ghost filled enough, you will feel that anointing through the screen. My wife and I were watching TV, and I really did not want to watch Good Friday service because I felt like I was letting the church down. So we were just watching a series. I was supposed to be here Friday night. But only a couple days prior to that, I could barely speak. So I was not going to watch. But the Lord convicted my heart. So I started watching on my phone. And then I asked myself, I asked my wife, can we put it up on a big screen? She said, Yeah, go ahead. By the time I tuned in, it was already a little bit after 7 p.m. And Brother James Butler was praying. I said, Oh. We got action. And I hope I'm saying her name right. Sister Deania read the scripture. And then Sister Coleman came with, Come on and praise the Lord, everybody. And I believe the word that she used was hallelujah. Then a young sister, Sister Delasia Lot, welcomed us to the service. And then the choir stood up and sang, get ready for your miracle. God's got a blessing for you. I said, Uh-oh, we got action. We got action. Feeling a little bit better. And then the speakers started. First one, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. This is the seven last sayings. And Sister Lydia was breaking the word down. She was nervous. You could hear it, but you could also sense the presence of the Holy Ghost. She was scripture-based. And what she said was, prayer is the life of the saint in connection and communication with God. I said, Oh, we got a little bit of action going on. And that we give God praise for daily provision. And then the second speaker, truly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise. Sister Christie, Sister Christie had titled hers, unqualified but chosen. Is there anybody that's unqualified but God still chose you? You owe God a praise right now that if it had not been for the Lord that came in like a flood and blessed you right where you were and saved you from a devil's hell, you should have lost your life. But God, with your unqualified self, chose you anyway. Is it anybody that can give God praise? I said, uh oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. These folks are standing flat footed, preaching nothing but holiness. Hallelujah. Amen. And what she said was in the conversation, if I'm right, Sister Christie, that the thief had no business asking for forgiveness. But even in a downtrodden state, your spirit can recognize the power of God right in front of you. To recognize who you are in God. That even though I'm on my way to death, Lord save me. And I believe what she said. Do not let the devil steal your identity. Hallelujah. Y'all turn these monitors up a little bit. I'm an old man, I can't hear. And what she said, I believe, if I'm getting this right, she said, I believe Christ said that Jesus, she said that Christ turned the cross into a doorway. Hallelujah. In other words, some of you are here today that don't know Jesus Christ as your Savior. Him hanging on the cross opens a doorway for you to get to know him on a personal level. I don't care what else we do today, but the cross that he got up on where they stretched him wide and Lord, y'all they send it back to me. Where he did it just for you and for me, you ought to get up and say, Lord, it's me. Save me. Thank you, Lord. Do it for me. Bring me in. I want to be saved. I want to be made whole. I want to be brought back. The thing about Sunday is this the only day in the world, in a Christian church, where the same message is being preached. Might come across in a different way, but the crux of the matter is that he got up on early Sunday morning. Let me let me recap. I'm going somewhere with this. And then the third, the third speaker was Sister Delissa. And y'all thought I wasn't listening. I said, Lord have mercy, I feel better already. Hallelujah. And it scripture is from John 19. It says, Woman, behold your son, behold your mother, and and and and and and and delissa. That's she says Mary was given a new covering. Because Jesus was no longer going to cover her in the flesh. And so the task was now given to the family to cover his mama. Let me tell you something. I know, hey man, I'm a mama's boy. Hey, man. You better not mess with my mama. I remember I was about 16, we was on a train. I was feeling kind of swole because I worked out with my uncle. Uh-huh. And you know, uncles think they swole, and I worked out with him. I was sore as all get out. And we was on a train going to Seattle. And this man thought he could just punk my grandparents and talk crazy to my mother. And he stood up over them. He was trying to get them, amen, to give up their seat because he wanted the whole row. And I sat there, I sat there, I sat there. And then I stood up, and the dude said, uh oh. Now you got a problem because now you're talking to my mama crazy. I don't care what else you do, but one thing you ain't gonna do is talk to my mama crazy. Do I have anybody else out there that feel the same way about their mama? That you better not say nothing backwards to my mama. You can talk about me, but you better not say nothing to or about my mama. All right. And what Delissa said, and I quote, she said, what feels like loss is often divine repositioning. Now you gotta break that down for me a little bit, amen. In other words, when you feel like you're losing something, uh, you're not really losing anything, it is God repositioning you, and while he repositions you, some stuff is going to spin off of you, and you're not gonna be able to hold on to stuff that wasn't meant for you as you go up to the next level. Uh that's why you can't get afraid to lose stuff or people that are not meant to go to the next level with you, and that when God repositions you, he's gonna give you some friends on that level that can handle the anointing God has placed over your life. Amen. And so I thank God because I had some friends down here, but they was flying with chickens. Chickens don't get no more but four feet off the ground. I need some folks that can fly with wings of eagles, I need some folks that can praise God with me. I need some folks that can give God some glory. Hallelujah! When I can't get through, I need four radical friends that can lure me in to see Jesus. Thank you, Lord, for repositioning, and then she shares something that I didn't even know about. She shared how her son was in utero and he wasn't moving.

SPEAKER_00 16:22

Oh, Lord Jesus, hallelujah, hallelujah.

SPEAKER_01 16:33

I felt this, amen. I was, I was, I felt Sister Delissa on this one. She said she only had one person, hallelujah, one nurse. It wasn't even a doctor, it was one nurse that would not give up on moving the baby around when God has promised you something. It often would feel like it might be dead down in the womb, but all you need is one person to help you reposition what God has placed down on the inside. Do I have any mamas out there that I felt birthed and you felt like you about to lose this thing, but God came in like a flood and repositioned you. Finally, finally, finally, finally, finally. She they she heard a faint heartbeat.

unknown 17:58

Woo!

SPEAKER_01 17:59

All you gotta do is give God just a little bit, he take care of the rest. It don't take much for God to get through what he needs to get through. Once they felt that heartbeat, Sister Delissa said, if I'm getting this right, that they rushed her down the hallway and did an emergency C-section. And when the baby was born, it was her son, Brother Michael. He found out that the cord was wrapped around his neck and it was trying to choke the life out of him. But what God, let me tell you something. When God has something for you, Brother Robert, the devil can't take it from you. I don't care what the devil tries to do, the devil can't choke no life out of you. The devil has all butt lost, and he tried to take life from that girl, from that son, but God came in and had his way in the name of Jesus. I thank God that he saved the baby's life. It reminds me when he saved my life. I was on my way to a devil's hell. I was being choked out by the devil, but God found me and brought me back. Y'all forgive me, I gotta slow down a little bit because my head is still trying to catch up. She said it's a reminder that God will cover what he has destined for you. You don't know how much that blessed me to listen. And then these young ladies dressed in black. They came up and danced, and they as they lined up, I said something was different about them, and they they lined up and the song said I'm still here. It's by the grace of God, and right there, let me tell you what happened in my house. I was on my bed, it's about a good 20 to 30 feet from my the TVs, 20 to 30 feet from my bed. I jumped out of my bed and I stood next to the TV screen. And the TV screen is about 65 inches, but I was looking like it was 22 inches because I'm trying to see these girls dance, and I'm giving God glory because they are dancing out of the spirit of God. They begin to dance, and I begin to regain my strength. That's when you know that this thing is real. Y'all can play around with it if you want to, but the Holy Ghost is real. You can feel him through the TV screen. If it's really authentic, you can give God some glory now. I said, I said, uh oh, uh oh, we got action. We got action, we got action, we got action, something's going on. And in my body, my flesh had to agree with my spirit. And I begin to feel better down in my body. Dare I say, I begin to get healed because I'm in the presence of God. That when I couldn't get a praise through, they was praising God so much right here behind this desk that I was able to feel it through the screen and understand that God is so powerful that when He means for you to be healed, He'll use people that are 30 miles away from you to communicate a word to you that will bless you right where you are. So I give God glory because I'm standing here, not of my own strength. I'm standing here because there were seven people that got behind his desk and gave God some glory down on the inside. Y'all ain't worrying me. Brother Marshall. Marshall Coleman got up, fourth saying. And the first thing Marshall says is that the enemy's been fighting him for the past couple of days. And Marshall says something that you know if you say and reading your Bible. But he says it in a way where it makes you makes you rethink what he said. God did not see his son, he saw sin. In other words, make this real plain for y'all. When Jesus got up on that cross, he took all of the sin from the past and from the future and heaped it on himself to the point where his father had to turn his back on him because he could not see him anymore. Y'all ain't saying nothing back to me. Somebody should have jumped up and said, Thank you, Jesus. The reason you're here today, because he took your sin and carried it to the cross, that there should be no more sin sacrifice like the one he gave. And then he was talking about Marshall was talking about maybe the reason God can't see you is because some of y'all sinning. And I think he walked off. He did a mic drop with can God see you? And then the fifth speaker was Evangelist Cheryl Garner. She didn't do nothing but have a praise party. She said, I first. Amen. In other words, go after God with everything in you. And a lot of us are chasing a whole bunch of other stuff, but you're not going after God the same way that you're going after this stuff. You should be chasing God the same way you're chasing that girl. You should be chasing God the same way you chasing that man. You should be chasing God the same way you're going after that weed. You should be chasing God the same way. Hallelujah. That you want to make a TikTok video. You should be chasing God the same way. You should spend as much time as your needs than you spend on your phone. You ought to give God as much glory as you do looking at uh social media. You ought to thank God every opportunity you get. You got the hunger and thirst. I'm hungry for God. I got to have them. I got to have God every turn, everywhere I go. That was Sister Garner. And then Deacon Butler got up. He says, It is finished. Deacon Butler said, Y'all crazy for putting me up after all these people and got up and just preached the word. Now listen to Deacon Butler. He simply said this that Jesus finished his assignment. You ought to finish yours. What is your assignment? You ought to finish your assignment. If you haven't finished your assignment, you better get to work. Amen. There are some of you, amen, that have allowed the enemy to stop you from finishing your assignment. Amen. You've allowed people to stop you. People gonna get in your way no matter what. Amen. No matter what. People are gonna have something to say, whether you do good or bad, amen. Whether you up or down, whether you got money or you broke, somebody's gonna always have something to say about you. You can't let people determine how far you go in God. Amen. That that comes from God Himself. And God before you, the whole world can't do nothing about it. And I know I got God for me. Amen. Is there anybody else that know that the Lord is for them? Amen. If the Lord be for you, I don't care what you say, what you do, how you come against me, how you talk about me, how you scandalize my name, how you treat me. I'm still saved and I'm still sanctified, and I still got the Holy Ghost down on the inside, and He's still working some things out for me. You better watch how you treat me because uh you might just need me to get a prayer through for you. Look at your neighbor and say, neighbor, watch how you treat me. You might need me to pray for you. You might need me to lay down for God with you. You might need me to give God some glory on your behalf. Watch how you treat me. So then Johnny Elder said, Father, into your hands I commit my spirit. And all Johnny did was say, Jesus did his job so that we might have life in that more abundantly. And he quoted a scripture, he kind of went down a different road. He said, Matthew 5 and 44, but I say to you, love your enemies. Wait a minute. Bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you. Jesus had experience, and I'm gonna show you now. Amen. So now let's put this, if you will, into perspective on the day of. You gotta understand it was around 6 a.m. And Jesus now goes before Pilate. Uh-huh. The night before he's been arrested. The night before was the Last Supper. The night before he was in the Garden of Gethsemane praying. Then he got arrested and he got betrayed by Judas. You all got some folks that's trying to betray you right now. And so after they arrest him, they take him to Pilate and they don't wait to get on with it. It's around six in the morning. And so they take Jesus before Pilate. And Pilate takes him, tells them, take him to Herod. Goes to Herod in about the same hour. And then they send Jesus back to Pilate and sentenced him before eight o'clock in the morning on Friday. I'm like you, Sister Peole. I'm trying to figure out how is this good Friday for Jesus? That before eight o'clock in the morning, you get sentenced to death, and it's not even nine o'clock yet. Hallelujah. Luke 23, 23, and 24 says, but they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that he be crucified. And the voices of these men and of these chief priests, wait a minute, these are the priests, these are the men of God. So Pilate gave sentence that it should be as requested, and he released to them the one they requested, who for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison. But he delivered Jesus to their will. And the person that they were talking about was Barabbas, uh Barabbah. Amen. Baraba was a murderer and an insurrectionist. And they said, Do you want Jesus or do you want Barabbas? They said, Give us Barabbas, the one who's causing mess, but take Jesus and crucify him. And that's where they beat him beyond all recognition. You gotta understand that the Roman Empire for them, they were ideal at flogging people. It was a legal preliminary to every Roman execution. The usual instrument was a short whip, which several single, several single or braided leather thongs of variable lengths in which small sharp pieces of sheepbone or iron were tied at different lengths. In other words, like the cat of nine tails for afflicting pain, the man was stripped of his clothing and his hands were tied to an upright post. The back, the buttocks, and legs were flogged either by two soldiers or by one who alternated positions. In other words, they took turns beating Jesus up. Hallelujah! They teamed up on Jesus. And I know our community don't like when other people jump into a fight, but they jumped Jesus, they jumped on him with everything that they had. They brought so much blood out of his body. The severity of the terrorizing depended on the disposition of the soldier in charge and was intended to weaken the victim to a state just short of collapse or death. So, but depending on how uh the Roman soldiers felt, uh, that's how bad they beat Jesus. Uh they must have felt pretty good because they beat him just an inch of his life. As the Roman soldiers uh repeatedly struck the victim's back with full force, the iron balls would cause deep contusions, and the leather thongs and sheep bones would cut into the skin and subcutaneous tissues. Then, as the beating continued, the lacerations would tear into the underlying skeletal muscles and produce quivering ribbons of bleeding flesh. Pain and blood loss generally set the stage for succulatory shock. The extent of blood loss may have well determined how long the victim would survive on the cross. My God, today, hallelujah! And then after discouraging, the soldiers often taunted the victim. Isaiah 52 and 14. So his visage, his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of man. Then Jesus is led to Calvary. Wait a minute, he's not on the cross yet? No, he got beat down first. Then he had to carry his own cross, and that's where he meets a man named Siren of Cyrene who helps him carry his cross up to Calvary. Lord, have mercy. Lord, I thank you right now. Let me pause for a minute. Let me give God some glory. Lord, I thank you. I see it in my mind how they beat you beyond all recognition, tore the flesh off your body, tried to kill you right where you were. Hallelujah. They didn't know who they were dealing with. His humanness was on full display. And now it's nine o'clock, and now he's crucified. Wait a minute. If you read your Bible, nine a.m. is the third hour. All this happened before nine o'clock. And they had him on the cross at 9 a.m. in the morning. What you doing at nine? Mark 15 and 25. Now it was a third hour and they crucified him. The third hour was nine o'clock. So on Friday at 9 o'clock in the morning, they had beat him beyond all recognition. He lost so much blood that he was going into shock. His humanness is on full display. They put a crown of thorns on his head. Some of y'all, I don't know about you, but every time I hear it, the tears start to run down my face. How somebody could take so much punishment for me. Hallelujah. I wouldn't even thought of yet. I wasn't even born, but he knew the hairs on my head way before I was even brought into existence. And he did it just for me and you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And it's right here that he says, This is this, and he says, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. When he got on the cross, that's where battle lines are drawn. Look at your neighbor and say, Neighbor, whose side are you on? The good thing about the battle lines being drawn that you can go from the bad side to the good side. But the battle lines were drawn. Whose side are you gonna be on? But they were so, they were so they were so scandalous with it. See, when they crucified him, they divided his garments, they looted Jesus, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take. You would think that they would leave him alone. You would think that he had been through enough. But around 10 a.m., the Bible says Matthew 27, 39 and 40, and those who pass by blaspheme him. So not only is he gonna get beat, but you're gonna talk about me too. Wagging their heads and saying, You would destroy the temple and build it up in three days, save yourself. If you are the son of God, come down from the cross. It wasn't just the people, it was the chief priest. Mark 15 and 31. Likewise, the chief priests also mocking among themselves, with the scribes said he saved others himself, he cannot save. Luke 23, 36 and 37. The soldiers also mocked him, coming and offering him sour wine and saying, If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself. Everybody now is mocking Jesus. Nothing has changed today. We got people today, even in the church, who mock Jesus. You don't know what he did for me. You don't know what I've been through. We mock Jesus. Jesus ain't real. Jesus is the only credible God you know. I dare you to find a death certificate on Jesus. He showed himself to over 4,000 people after he got up from the grave. He did just what he said he was going to do. And now he's up on the cross, and one of the criminals has an attitude with Jesus. You giving Jesus orders? Some of us come at the Lord the wrong way. You come at God with an attitude. Like God owes you something. God don't owe you nothing. You better figure out how to come to God the right way. If you read your Bible, he didn't even answer the first thief. He's on the cross, and I'm seeing Jesus looking at him like you tripping. He don't even give him a response. But the other dude says, Remember me when you come into your kingdom. And he says, Today you shall be with me in paradise. So even on the cross, the thief recognized who Jesus was. What I'm telling you is even in your situation, I don't care how dire it is, you need to recognize who Jesus is and watch him bring you into where he is. Behold your mother. It's not even twelve o'clock yet. Then twelve o'clock comes. And what happens is the earth recognizes that its creator is in some trouble. I don't know how we who are divinely created don't recognize Jesus, but even the earth recognized that Jesus was in some trouble. How do you know, Pastor? Because the Bible says that at 12 o'clock noon, the entire earth went dark. At the day where it's the hottest and the brightest, the earth goes dark. To let the world know who you're messing with is more than human. He is divine in nature. Then an hour goes by. Now we get to between two and three. And he comes up with his last few sayings. And the first of the last four sayings was Eli, Eli, Lama Sabatini, Sabakani. This is my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? And so Jesus is separated from his father because of the sin he bore for us. The father had to separate himself. Jesus was now completely alone, totally abandoned. Can you see yourself with nobody to call, nobody to turn to, nobody to match up with you, nobody you could depend on. Everybody has turned their back on you. Even the father had to back up from him. He is all by himself, yet he's still sovereign king. And with this, he utters the words, I thirst. Because he knew now that he had carried out the mission of the Father. His success was complete at the moment of his death. He was about to surrender his life to the Father, who would carry out the crowning touch of the plan by raising the Son from the grave. So John 19 and 30 says, So when Jesus Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, It is finished, and bowing his head, he gave up his spirit. And then Luke 23 and 46, this is right, they're right next to each other. And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, he said, Father, into your hands I commit my spirit. Having said this, he breathed his last breath. Let me show you something. Let me show you something. Let me show you something how much Jesus was in control, even on the cross. Let me show you something. Let me show you something. Because when he died, amen, what happened was they were supposed to break the legs. They were supposed to break the legs to push you into death. Right? He's in total control. John 19, 31 and 33, the Jews asked Pieter to have the legs broken so the bodies could be removed before this happened. John 19 and 32, the soldiers broke the legs of the two men crucified with Jesus. But Jesus said, You ain't, no, no, no, no, no. I got power to lay down my life. I got power to pick it back up. And before you break my legs, I'm gone. That was prophetic. And all that happened on Friday. This is why we have Good Friday. But there were three things that happened. And this is what I love about him dying on Friday. The first is that in the temple in the Holy of Holies, in the innermost sanctuary, the place where the Ark of the Covenant rested and the presence of God was said to abide. The place was so sacred, only once a year on the Day of Atonement, only one man, the high priest, was allowed to enter. He offered the blood of a special sacrifice to atone for the sins of all Israel. The room outside of the Holy of Holies was called the holy place. Between the two rooms hung a thick curtain separating all of humanity from the presence of God, except for the high priest, once a year. At the moment of Jesus' death, that curtain was torn in two from top to bottom. In other words, you have access now to the throne of grace. You have an opportunity to come to God yourself. You are amen. You have an opportunity to say, Lord, I thank you in person. Is there anybody that can tell, Lord, I thank you for what you've done? I can come to you for myself. I don't have to tell nobody about my sins. I thank you for getting up on the third day. I thank you for what you've done for me. Hallelujah. And then the rocks begin to split open, tombs begin to break open. Hallelujah in the name of Jesus. And then uh on Saturday, he goes and gets the keys from the devil. Amen. Revelation 118, the Bible says that he goes down to hell and takes the keys from hell down in the grave. Hallelujah. And then early on Sunday morning. Early on Sunday morning. He got up. And when he got up, my hope got up. My joy got up. My understanding got up. My love got up. My wisdom got up. My peace got up. Say yes. Yes. Thank you, Jesus. For getting up. Getting up. Allowed us to have life. Him getting up. Saved us from sin. Him getting up. Gave us hope for tomorrow. Him getting up. Shows us who we are in him. If he got up, you can get up. You got victory. You got joy. Get up and give God all the praise you can. Get up and give God all the praise you can. Tell God. Thank you for doing it again. Him getting up. Change my life. Him getting up. Save my soul. Him getting up. Brought me back. Him getting up. Heal my body. Him getting up. Clear my mind. Him getting up. Help me say yes. Him getting up. Gave me life. Him getting up. Clear me up. Him getting up. Get me out of jail. Him getting up. Save my son. Him getting up. Save my wife. Him getting up. Change my life. Him getting up. He did it just for me. Did he do it for you? Say yes. If he did it for you, you owe God a praise. I'm so happy that he got up. So what I felt on Friday, knowing that he was gonna get up on Sunday, helped me to get out of my bed. And dare I say that the preaching of the gospel and the singing of the song and praising the Lord in the highest told my body, you healed in Jesus' name. If you got Jesus, you ought to touch somebody and say, Be healed in Jesus' name, be set free in Jesus' name. Let the shackles be loosed in Jesus' name. Yes, yes, yeah, yeah. This prayer. Now hold on. Watch this. What do you mean take yeah, I take God seriously, but you fifty percent. You play around with God. You got one foot in and one foot out. Y'all came into church. I need somebody to preach me happy. If I got to preach you happy, listen to the content. Listen to the content of what you're saying. And you're not happy already. In fact, you got it wrong scripturally. Because happiness is fleeting. You get happy when you buy a new car until you gotta pay the note. Happiness comes and goes. But whether I'm happy or not, I got joy unspeakable. And the joy of the Lord is my strength. So no matter what I feel like in my body, I still have joy. And I know I have a savior I can go to and petition him and get on my knees and talk to him. If you don't have that, then come up here. I know you don't want to put yourself on blast. If your prayer life is lacking, get up here.
