#DontGiveSatanEntry
“And the amazing thing is, while we're actually distracted, while we're actually in a place that we shouldn't be, that is his chance to steer us further into destruction. Because here's the point I wanna make. The enemy looks for opportunities, and it is our responsibility to be ready at all times. But we also have another responsibility as Christians, and that's this, not to give him any opportunities. And many believers do not understand that part of spiritual warfare is not just preparing for onslaughts. It's making sure you're not the cause of it. The principle is true for individuals. The principle is true corporately. Our moments in the flesh are unintended invitations for Satan to work in and through us.”

“Fear can only become a stronghold if you let it. The enemy as a believer cannot invade the space of your life. He can't unless you acquiesce to him, or you stay at an impasse because he doesn't he doesn't move off until he's made to move off. And if you're just going back and forth, I just want you to know you can have a moment today. You can have a moment. You can have a moment that your life and quality of life is different because you release that to the Holy Spirit and let him move you in a beyond courage and pass the test because you wanna you you wanna be in that chosen category.”

#FaithOverFittingIn
“For instance here, I I think what would help us to imagine a Christian college student who is mocked at her university for trusting in the reliability of the New Testament and for trusting in the reliability of the resurrection. Think about that. When she is mocked for her trust in the Lord, her continued trust in the Lord is highly dependent on whose opinion she's more concerned about. If she's more afraid of what people think of her than what God thinks of her, she will be extraordinarily tempted to recant her trust in God. But if she's more concerned about what God thinks of her than what her classmates think of her, or if you will, if she's more afraid of what God thinks of her than what her professor thinks of her, her trust in the Lord will endure, won't it?”

#ChristMeetsYou
“And so the question is no longer whether the stone's still there, but are you going to keep living like it is when you know it's not? Or whether you'll step into the life given to you that now runs out of that tomb. Because here again today, the risen Christ meets you in his word spoken into your ears, in his body, in blood given into your hands and placed in your mouth, not as a reminder or as a symbol, but as the same Jesus who met those women here and now, physically meeting you in just a moment.”
40s
#StepIntoResurrection
“You don't deserve it, but he gave it anyways. The cross, the tomb, they tell us life conquers death. So today, right now, bring him your shame. Bring him your doubts, your sorrows, your secrets, your sin. Because he'll take it to the cross. He'll bury it in a grave, and he'll walk out holding new life, resurrection life in his hand for you. Listen. If Jesus stepped out of the tomb, what's stopping you from stepping out of whatever grave you've been stuck in? What if today was was your resurrection day? Because Jesus is alive.”

#StoneRolledAway
“This is the center of God's plan to redeem your life and mine and our broken world. They went to see the tomb in verse two and behold, there was a great earthquake for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, his clothing white as snow, and for fear of him, the guards trembled and became like dead men.”

#VictoryThroughChrist
“``Now here's the glorious truth. David is gonna step on the scene. And through David's faith and his sacrifice and his willingness to trust in his God, he's going to defeat Goliath, and these Philistines are gonna rush in to the camp of the Philistines and ransack them. And that's prophetic. That's prophetic of the son of David, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will step in and defeat who? The Goliath of death. And by overcoming the Goliath of death, he makes way for us to know victory and security and strength over all of our enemies, including all sins that you can imagine or think of. And so the battle has already been won as we just sang. It's just a matter of us leaving this hill, going through the valley, and going into and walking into the victory that Christ purchased for us.”
47s
#ObedienceShapesGenerations
“Here's a reminder that our simple obedience to God can create blessings for generations to come or actually can create curses for generations to come. I'm telling you, your own life right now, like, who am I? Well, you might be a future mom one day, a future wife. You might serve in the ministry one day in some capacity. You might be a CEO of a company. And listen. The obedience and the the the choosing of holiness in this moment, You can't determine the consequences. You can't. And it's all over the bible. How many examples do we need? As though the holy spirit is trying to get it from every angle, partial obedience can lead to future consequences.”
54s
#SinNeverSatisfies
“You've never sinned once when you've truly sinned. You've never sinned once and come out of there saying, that was worth it. That was worth it. That was it was worth messing around with that girl for a few months. I feel great. It was worth it. It was worth it to cheat at my job and to punch in hours that I wasn't really I feel wonderful. It was wonderful to gossip for a year and a half. Never. But you were convinced into her for some reason. You thought it was gonna satisfy something about yourself. Right? And just like these Philistines running away, you were pursuing a mirage. And you thought that this was an oasis that was gonna quench your thirst, and all you have is a mouthful of sand. And you're thirstier than when you started.”
49s
“And courage, watch this, courage is not the absence of fear. It's the ability to face it, especially when we have such scriptures. And I was thinking this morning as that choir was singing. I just going over and over in my head. If God before us, if God before you, who can be against you as a child of God, as a son and daughter of Christ? He can come and he can try to manipulate. He can try to battle your mind. That's where the Bible says cast down every thought against the every imagination. Courage number two, testing.”
