THE TOMB IS EMPTY BECAUSE OF YOU

04/09/2023

"But very early on Sunday morning, the women went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. They found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. So they went in, but they didn't find the body of the Lord Jesus" (Luke 24:1-3).

Having an understanding that Jesus accomplished the Father's will on your behalf puts you on course for unstoppable victory and success. In John 19:30, Jesus cried out, "IT'S FINISHED!" Because it is finished, your victory over hell and death is complete and irreversible. Your prosperity cannot be made void, and your progress is unstoppable! This is the significance of the empty tomb.

In Matthew 8:17, the Scripture says, "HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES." Not speaking of a future event, and not predicated on our prayers or righteous deeds. He did all that He did while we were still sinners. Hallelujah! Your salvation is evidence that the tomb is empty. The Bible says that "God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)" (Ephesians 2:4-5). Saints, embrace this simple truth and take advantage of the benefits of the empty tomb.

As a result of the empty tomb, your victory is obligatory. Without it, Jesus' resurrection would be without a witness or proof. Please understand that your victory was not your idea. It was His and is solely based on the reality of the empty tomb. Romans 8:37 says, "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us." The Amplified put it this way: "Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us." So the next time you are asked how you know that you are more than a conqueror, point to the empty tomb. Just as Jesus' death was because of our sins, so also, our victory is on account of His resurrection. Our justification, health, success, progress, peace, prosperity, and preservation indicate that He rose from the dead!  Child of God, you no longer have to pray for victory. Instead, impose your victory over adversity by agreeing with what Jesus did on your behalf.  The challenges are programmed to yield to your faith proclamations. 

Child of God, you are a king in this world. So, live like one. Refuse to be perplexed by the things that go on around you.  Revelation 1:6 says that He "…made us kings and priests unto God and His Father..." And if there is one thing we know about kings, it is that they don't beg. Instead, they make decrees because their words are full of power. So, as we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, make up your mind to no longer beg for what is rightfully yours. You have the life, nature, and ability of God working on the inside of you because of the empty tomb! 

Hallelujah! Christ is risen! 

Faith-Filled Confession:

Christ's victory is my victory. I have no reason to be afraid. Jesus disarmed the enemy and his agents, and I was given the victory. I choose to walk with this consciousness every day. Hallelujah!
