DAY FOUR:
Wednesday, April 16th - Your season for victory
Dear Friend,
We are just
two days away from the
Good Friday Holy Communion Service … and just four days away from our
Resurrection Sunday Service. My spirit is already stirring with anticipation!
Today is day four of Holy Week and of our
Season of Resurrection Miracles teaching series. I
believe the Lord has a message for you that will shake and resurrect your faith to believe Him for all He has promised you during this season.
Shout with me, “There’s a change coming!”
In Colossians 2:15, the great evangelist says concerning Jesus, “
And having disarmed authorities and powers, He made a show of them openly,
triumphing over them by the cross.”
Paul’s language here evokes the Roman Triumph – the lavish victory parades through the streets of Rome staged by the Senate to celebrate
great military successes. This was imagery every reader in Paul’s day would instantly recognize and understand.
Whenever a Roman general conquered a new land, his triumphal return to the capital city would take the form of a procession showcasing his spoils of
war to Rome’s cheering throngs. This parade usually included the shackled, vanquished enemy king in a humiliating spectacle of subjugation.
This is the image Paul invokes in explaining to the believers in Colossae what Jesus accomplished through His sacrifice and ensuing victory over Death.
In His death and resurrection, the Lord Jesus Christ made a public display of all the forces of darkness, manifesting His absolute mastery over
them in a spectacular demonstration of His overwhelming authority and victory.
This is why Jesus could rightly say immediately before He returned to the Father, “
All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on
earth” (Matt. 28:18).
But what does this mean for you and me?
- It means fear must bow. Christ is King.
- It means depression must flee – Jesus has conquered.
- It means sickness must let go … chains must be loosed – He has won!
Drug addiction must be replaced by faith in God ... pain must be replaced by peace … death must be replaced with Life.
Whatever devil is tormenting you: Christ has victory over it, and through Him, so do you!
And God has designed a way for you to step into His faithfulness and the “triumph by the cross” the Lord Jesus provided: by displaying your
faithfulness to Him through obedience and pursuit.
As we approach Good Friday and observe the day our precious Jesus was taken to that tomb, let us not lose faith but remember – though He went to
the grave, the tomb is now empty!
He has risen, as He said! Death and its darkness has been swallowed up in the light of the
Son of God! Hallelujah!
Be sure to send me your prayer requests and sow your Resurrection Seed offering today. I want to make sure they’re here before Good Friday and
Resurrection Sunday, so I can lift them up before God and pray over them – that the victory of Christ may change your season in this appointed time
for miracles!
Yours for the harvest,
Pastor Rod Parsley
