That's Not All You Are

they know the story better than they really do. And this part of the Easter story is maybe something that you've heard before. But if we study it together today, I believe you see something you've never seen. In John chapter twenty, verse twenty four. It's kind of the climax of John's gospel. Now, Thomas, also known as Didamus, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him we have seen the Lord.

But he said to them unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were and put my hand into his side, I will not believe. A week later, his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them, though the doors were locked. Jesus came and stood among them and said, peace be with you. And then he said to Thomas, put your finger here see my hands. Be careful what you ask for. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe. And Thomas said

to him, my Lord and my God. Then Jesus told him, because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believe. Now listen to this. Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. Can you say, man,

that's the word of God. Now let me give a title to dis sermon, and you can give it to your neighbor. Tell them, I know you're I know you're Tell them I know you're a good person. Tell him I know you're a Christian, I know you're nice. Tell him I know your moody. Now I don't want to start anything, but tell him I know you're kind of crazy now, but that's not the title. Here's the title. Come the title. Say that's not all you are. That's

not all you are. Now be seated, and let's talk about Thomas, or as you judgmental church people like to call him doubting Thomas. If you're new to church. We have nicknames that we give certain disciples. We don't do it to all the disciples. We just pick on certain disciples. Like Peter gets to be called the Rock, right because Jesus called him that. We don't call Peter. Peter cussed somebody out one time when they were trying to see if he was a church member of Jesus Christ. But

we don't call him, you know, profanity Peter. No. But Thomas, Like, for real, I wish you were here right now because you can hide on the other side of that screen. It's much better when I can see you in the like eyeball to eyeball. I love that because somebody that I don't know, what's your name? Yeah, yeah, oh I know you work for the church. Okay, I'm gonna pick somebody else. What's your name? Yeah yeah, hunter? Hunter? Do you ever? Do you ever? Do you ever? You ever

do do you ever? Do you ever do something that contradicts your beliefs? But you know you should do better, but you do the wrong thing anyway. You're real slow to nods. She nodded quickly. I wish you could have seen it. She was nodding before I finished the question. But but, but, but that's called hypocrisy. So what if we called you hypocrite? Hunter? Right? That be fair? Be fair. It wouldn't be kind or gracious or anything like that, Lisa,

Does Tom ever lose his temper? I've never seen him do it, So we should call him right tantrum Tom because the Bible passage I just said, Thomas was doubting. Oh he must be doubting, Thomas. Stick a label on him. We love to label things. Is there anybody in the back of the room that ever struggles with overeating? Just ever? I mean just even like on Christmas, you eat crap on the back of the room, on the back of the room. I'm not looking at y'all right now, on

the back of the room. I'm not even looking at the Epham at the back of the room, all right, what's your name? All the way up there in the corner of the room, right there in the back of the room. No, no, back behind you, even back behind you, even no over that way, over that way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She raised her hand. She said she struggled with overeating. What's your name, Camille? What if we call you Calorie intake Camille? Huh, I'll just make the He's off right.

This is what we do. We love to label stuff because if I label it, I can be lazy, because I can think I know you, because you remind me of something that's in myself that I won't admit. This Easter, I would like to talk about Thomas and suggest to you that if any of the other disciples had been in his same situation, they would have had his same doubt. The Bible says that Thomas wasn't there when Jesus showed up. Now,

remember he rose from the dead. He showed himself to Mary Magdalene, not to the boys first, because he knows that women have the ability to feel and not be so calculative about everything, and know things that their minds can't conceive, and see things spiritually that men are blind to. Because we are so ego focused that we can't even connect with one another. Let alone resurrected Son of God. You like that pandering idea to the female demographic there?

That was good, wasn't it? But I really believe that. I really believe that Hollywood was with a bunch of other pastor's wives a while back, and she was saying, like, oh, it's so good, and we opened up and we talked about this, and we talked about that. And I said, if that had been the pastors of those churches and not the women who are co pastors or pastors' wives, all we would have talked about is things that started with how many or how much? Because we love to label.

Guys are really simple. We are still trying to figure out how much do you bench? Just you know, now with dollars instead of dumbbells, like how much did you make last year? And all this stuff. Because we love to label, it helps us. It helps us to accommodate our assumptions. If we can label something, look at somebody

and say, that's not all you are. We love sometimes to identify ourselves as Christians by our jewelry, even though the cross was originally a torture instrument, not a fashion statement. There's nothing wrong. I got one myself and I'll wear it. But my point is sometimes it's easier to label it than to live it. Doubting Thomas, Yeah, that's really fair. I mean, when it says that he wasn't there, he wasn't there. We don't know why, you know how you

fill in the blanks and assume things about people. He wasn't there because Jesus had been crucified and he was ashamed to be identified with the others, or maybe he was running an errand I mean, after all, the other disciples were not exactly full of faith. How do you know that the Bible says they had the doors locked because of fear of the Jews. You know how you

say Easter's the super Bowl? Not really? Not really, It's not really like the super Bowl, because even though Jesus was risen and they had heard about it, they still had to live with the reality that they represented a threat to the Jewish Council that represented the religious establishment

of the day. So it's a strange celebration. It's kind of like how how sometimes in your life you can be really happy about something but really worried about something, and you can't exactly jump up and down about this because you're distracted about that. So somebody says, how you knowing, You're like, I'm good, But that's not all you are. You are good in the particular area of your life that you chose to disclose in that moment. Thomas wasn't there.

The only difference between Thomas and Peter is Peter got to see Jesus when he showed up. Peter didn't have greater faith than Thomas. He just he's had a different experience. Don't judge people about where they are if you don't know where they started. Maybe he wasn't there because he was scared, or maybe he was just struggled with punctuality. Maybe Thomas was late. It's no worse of an assumption than the fact that he wasn't there because he didn't

love God. I don't know why he wasn't there. It just says, let's read the text again, so y'all will think I'm not making this up. I don't want y'all to trust me. I want you to trust the text now. Thomas, also known as did amis one of the twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. What if he's not doubting Thomas at all. He could be tardy Thomas. I like that tardy Thomas. You know how I think Jesus would call him. I was sinking about this. What

would Jesus call Thomas? What would Jesus call the one that wasn't there? What would Jesus call the one who came back a week later to make a special guest appearance too? He thought so much of him that he showed back up. Maybe Jesus would call him honest Thomas. Honest Thomas, because what he said. I think. I think he said a good thing. He said. I've got to

see it for myself. There comes a time when your faith in God, when what your grandparents taught you, or what you learned on a flenograph and a Sunday school can't really get you through the real complications of adult life. So what he said wasn't I won't believe, he said. I won't believe unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were

and put my hand into his side. I won't believe unless what would it take for you to believe that God was with you in this moment, in this season. What would it take for you to believe that God had your kids in his hands. What would it take for you to believe that He knows what's best for you? What would it take for you to believe that God does not relate to you on the basis of the thing you're most ashamed about. What would it take for you to believe? He's already seen so much? Thomas has

He's seen a lot. And John says, Jesus did so much we couldn't write it all down. So John, in making this we call it a book, his gospel account, he says, I put the ones in the book that would serve as a sign so you could believe. And he includes seven of them, which is a significant number, especially for the Jewish mind, because it was seven days of creation, you know. And John is saying, here, I'm

gonna I'm gonna show you seven things. He starts talking about the signs in John chapter two, where Jesus turned the water into wine at a wedding. Then in chapter four, Jesus heals this official sun. It's crazy because Jesus didn't even have to go physically to the place in order to heal the boy. All it took was for the man to believe it was his faith that made his

son well. In John chapter five, there's a man trying to get to the water and Jesus says, well, it's a good thing that the water showed up, since you can't move. Because the man was actually paralyzed, he could not get to the water, so Jesus brought water to him.

That's the third sign. One of the miracles that we've heard a lot about if we were around church was when Jesus fed five thousand men, women and children, and is significant in this particular sign because when they found this little boy in John chapter six, they said, here is a boy. To them, he looked like a boy. He was carrying a buffet. In't that amazing? Look at your neighbor again and say, that's not all you are.

That's not all you are. Yeah, you look like a boy, But when your bread gets in the hands of the one who knows how to do with it. As a matter of fact, when Jesus went walking on the water, they thought he was a ghost. They didn't recognize him at first, they didn't see him at first. They felt fear at first, not faith. And then in John chapter nine, I think it is you can check all these later. I'm giving you a Bible study for the next week.

By the way, you could go through all of this where this man was born blind and Jesus healed the man born blind, which was amazing. But the greatest thing that he did to show who he was started with what he didn't do. My favorite story in the Bible last year was the story of Lazarus in John chapter eleven. I spent the greater part of the year off and on looking at this story. And I want to show you something that's in the story that I think might

relate to your season of life as well. If you have John chapter twenty right now, just maybe put that little ribbon in your Bible. Who am I kidding? Like y'all brought paper to church today, Just mark it on the screen and go to John chapter eleven for just a moment, because if we flip back to John chapter eleven, it will show us something about who Jesus really is. Now, John says, I can't tell you everything, but I told

you enough that you can believe. For the part that you can't see, I can't I can't tell you everything that he did, but I gave you enough to believe God said, I'll give you enough to go on. So when Moses asked God, who are you, he said, I am. You don't have time for me to tell you all that I am, because the moment that I tell you exactly what I am, you will label me, and the moment you label me, you will limit me. It's like this. People will say, oh, oh, that must be a Pentecostal church.

That must be a Baptist church, that must be a well they say. Sometimes they'll say oh, they'll say, I remember one person said, sometimes I don't like how elevation mixes different genres. It should either be worship or gospel, not both. So the definitions I found in the Bible confused me because I thought worship was our job description and gospel was our message. But now what's what we'll do.

We want to create a genre about a God who's worthy of eternal worship, because if we can categorize him, we don't really have to trust him. So Jesus, watch this. Thomas wasn't the only one who wasn't there. Jesus wasn't there in John chapter eleven to heal his friend Lazarus. And what I'm discovering in the Bible is you can learn just as much about God through absence as you

can through presence. Prove it to me. Okay, one time Paul said, I had this storn and I wanted God to take it away, but God didn't do what I asked him to do. How many have something in your life right now that God's not doing that you asked him to do on the timetable that you're asking him to do. If he is doing it, he better go ahead and get to it because it's gonna be too late, real soon. This is the situation in John eleven. At first Lazarus is sick, and then Lazarus is dead, and

they do not get the attention of the healer. Now we can see this most clearly because there's a lot in this passage, and God, I wish I couldppreciate it all to you right now. If I summarized it, it it would actually ruin it because I would squeeze out at all the detail. So I'm not gonna summarize it. By the way, just to the side point, don't trust the summary. Don't trust the summary. Put that in the chat. Don't trust the summary. When we try to summarize something, we

squeeze out of at the meaning right. So if I tell you John, chapter eleven, Lazarus died, Jesus raised him from the dead. You missed the tears that he cried at his tomb. Don't even try to summarize salvation and just make it about heaven and hell. Because I need Jesus on this earth, and they needed Jesus to show up and heal their brother. And they had a reason to expect because he would stop through Bethany every time he needed airbnb at Martha's house, and Mary would listen

because she had a good heart. But Mary, Martha actually knew how to cook, so she's the one doing the work, paying the mortgage, and Mary is over here doing anyway. It's a whole dynamic. Again, I can't summarize it. It's a very very involved story. But I thought I would show you verse thirty two, John, chapter eleven, because their brother is now dead and Jesus missed the opportunity to

heal him. Now, very specifically, before I came, God said, you're going to speak to somebody today who thinks it's over. And the limitation that they have placed is not on a genre of music. The limitation that they have placed is on themselves. In the story of Lazarus, they asked for the healer to come. They call him the teacher

or the rabbi. That's how they knew him. And it says in verse thirty two, when Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feed and said, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her, also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and trouble. Where have you laid him? He asked, Come and see Lord, they replied, and Jesus wept. Wait a minute, I thought you were God.

You're supposed to be drying tears, not crying them. What I what you've heard about God is not all there is to him? What if the God that you've heard about is only a sliver? See, people will describe God in many ways, and they'll say that God is a healer. But then someone that you love will die. And to assume that he's not as powerful as you thought he was because he didn't do what you thought he would misses the entire basis of true faith. Our problem is just like we do to Thomas, we do to God.

We want to define people and even define God, and even define ourselves by our worst moment. Now, the danger in this passage is that by seeing their expectation unmet, their faith could have been discontinued. And you've got two perspectives. At the tomb of Lazarus this day, in verse thirty six, the Jews said, see how he loved him. But some of them said, now watch this, this is my message. Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying? You see what

they did. They labeled him according to their limited experience of what he could do, because they heard he was a healer, So to them, that's all he is. And if he's a healer and he didn't heal, then it's over. If he's only the one who opens blind eyes and your brother died, then he didn't do what he could do, and he can't do it now. But sometimes you've got to have enough faith in God. Listen to me, by

the spirit of the Lord. Sometimes you got to have enough faith to say, God, I thought you were a healer, but that's not all you are. God, I thought, I thought you were the one who would keep it from happening. But that's not all you are. Have you ever had God not stop something and he could have, then you're just like Jesus. His father could have stopped him from going to the cross. Even Jesus said I could call a legion of angels and they would rescue me. And

they thought he was a king. And when we worship Jesus and we say you're a king, he is. He's also a carpenter. And the greatest revelation that Jesus ever gave anybody in the scripture of who he was was after what he didn't do. So let me break this

down real simple. I was talking to a YouTuber the other day, and there's nothing uncommon about YouTubers, but he's fifty nine and he was sharing with me how he had been a music producer and then when that stopped and he was down to his last little bit of money in the bank account. I told you this story, I'm gonna tell them now. He kind of was at the point in his life where, you know, by the time you're fifty four, he's fifty four when he started

his channel. You kind of have a pretty good idea of what you can and can't do, right, Like, I mean, one day his intern walks and he told me the story. He said. One day his intern walks and he says, you should start a YouTube channel. And the beautiful thing about this guy, he's got the grayest gray hair, shocking white, like the transfiguration of Jesus Christ himself. And he said, there's nobody with hair like this on YouTube. I'm a producer. This is what I do. I'm a music teacher. This

is what I do. I don't even know how to make the videos. Now, I wouldn't be telling you this story if he tried and failed. Obviously he succeeded, right, I was studying. There's all these other YouTubers who are younger and more hair and different colored hair and all of these different things. See. See, I'm telling you the story because you can tell yourself a summary of what you are and what you're not based on the experience that you've had, not the potential that you carry. And

so what he said was, I'm not a YouTuber. I'm a fifty four year old producer. His channel is bigger than all the young guys today, right right, And you would be clapping so hard if you realized that whatever you have told yourself is the stopping point of what you can be fails to factor in that the limitless God, who says my name is I am and will not be confined to one category, is living on the inside of you. Sophy was gonna do it, he'd have done

it by now. Well, maybe he wants to do something different. So God, I expected you to be this in my life. I expected you to plan it and do it and executed like this. But what I thought you were is not all you are. So the message of Easter is just like the tomb. I'm open. I'm open. Say it out loud. I'm open. I'm open. I'm open. And the thing about it is, I'm not open to what I hoped would have happened. I'm not open to what I thought would have happened. I'm not open to what I

think would be better. God, I believe if you could put a fifty nine year old on the top of a YouTube mountain, watch this. If you can heal a man who's been in the grave so long that his sister is more concerned about the stinch than she is about the potential. If you can do that. Come on, I'm open. God wants you to unlearn your limitations. You've got to unlearn your limitations and stop thinking that it had to be on one schedule. Well, their kid is

smarter than mine. Their kid is peaking too soon. All right, that's all it is. Your kid has got street smarts and d's on their report card. And later in life, Later in life, the lateness of God. Why did he make Thomas wait a week? Thomas wasn't there. Jesus could have waited, caught up with him somewhere else. Why did he wait a week? You didn't see it when I read it. Okay, I'll go back to it for you.

This is really and Elijah's reading through the Book of Matthew right now, and he said, Dad, do you ever feel like Jesus is trolling his disciples? And I said kinda, he does. Doesn't mean like I'm going to pay the temple tax, but go fishing. It'll be in the fish's mouth. He's like, this is just weird, and I'm like, it kind of is. I see. I'm glad he's reading the Bible for himself so he can learn to wrestle with questions about God. And about life, and not just trust

the summary that Jesus loves the little children. Jesus does love the little children. Jesus also flips tables. I asked him the other day, did you get to the party in Matthew yet? Because he read chapter nine? I said, you get the party at where he's cussing it all the pharisees out. Not exactly cussing, but he might as well. I mean everything you'd want to call him. He's calling them whitewashed tombs and all these things. But see, when you have a view of God that thinks that he

only says soothing things, you get surprised. That's why I hate preaching on holidays. We took something as powerful as the resurrection and dressed it in pastel. Let me tell you my Christmas sermon. I already got it. You're ready my Christmas sermon. You know, silent night, Holy night, all us calm, all his bright away a manjing Cridford, a better lord. Jesus laid down the sweethet. The cattle are lowing the sky. I don't know the word, but this part,

little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes. That's a lie. I like the song to y'all, but it's not true. He's a baby in a bard. He's crying. So I'm gonna do a message on Christmas, not silent Night. It's gonna be called Screaming Jesus. I hope you'll put it on the It's December twenty fifth, twenty twenty one, right here from this pulpit, coming soon, Screaming Jesus Ah. I know you know me as a healer. I know you know me that I open the man's blind eyes. I know you know me in this season of your life

is this. I know you know me as that I know up until this point I provided for you this way. And I know you think that what you've seen is all there is. But blessed her those. This is what he told Thomas, who have not seen and still believe. Who's he talking about in that? Who's he talking about? He's not talking about the other disciples they saw. Who's he talking about? I think he's talking about Mary and Martha because Martha was like, if you would have been here,

my brother wouldn't have died. And Mary was like, if you'd have been here, my brother wouldn't have died. And if you would have did what I thought you could do. But Martha says something real powerful. Watch this, she said, But I know that even now it's too late. But even now you didn't fit the definition of what I thought a good friend was God. But even now you withheld the healing that you easily could have given in you intentionally missed the opportunity to perform. But even now

I thought you were a healer. But that's not all you are. Martha's confession is the powerful confession. She says, you are the Christ, the Messiah who has come into the world. So whatever I thought you were, whatever I thought you would do, whatever I expected from your hand, that's not all you are. Would you say that to God? This Easter? I had my nice little pretty picture of little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay, or the great King Jesus, who destroys every devil and drives out all darkness.

But you're also the one who weeps with me in something that you could have prevented. You are the one with all authority. You are also the one with all empathy. I wonder what else you are. You know, for years now you've been defining yourself by your dysfunction. MHM. I hear it because I talk. I talk to you, I hear you. I hear when you talk. You do it, you do I do it. I do it all the time. I think it's somewhat of a cop out from us having to grow, because if we condemn ourselves, we don't

have to work towards change. That's just how I am. Hey man, I'm just not organized. I can't hope it. I'm just not organized. You know, there's like methods for that, right, And now I'm worried because, Yo, when they do personality tests Myers Briggs and Enneagrams and all of this, I know Aneagram's not a personality test. Trust me. I get a lot of feedback every time I make fun of Vineagram on the internet, and I'm grateful for that. It's

a blessing. And uh, but that's a helpful tool. But if you take something that was meant to be a tool, do you know, Enneagram, you put a number and that's kind of your dominant sin or weakness or something, then you can understand it and all that that is really what it is. But see, we like to slap a number on something so we don't really have to know it. I hear people walking around all the time. You're a seven,

you're a three, you're an eight. I'm like, I'm like a at least a like because Holly told me I'm a one, I'm at least I'm at least a one point five, a one point seven? Like do I get a decimal? Like? Do I really have to be that exact of a thing? And there's nothing against all of that. It's good, it's good. It's good, it's good. But we will even turn a tool into an excuse. Yeah, I'm a perfectionist. That's just who I am. That's just how I am. You're also a payment. You're also aggravating to

some people. That's not all you are. And I love yelling church. I'm a child of God. I am a child of God. That is not all you are all the time. If you clap, I won't call you out. We won't pretend like you are always holy and righteous and blessed and full of faith. So how do we deal with this? Thomas aka Didamus I love how he even had a little nickname means the twin You ever

feel like there's two of you? By the way, this is an opportunity for him who experienced Jesus not through another spectacular miracle, but through a sacred scar and notice what he wanted to see. I've already seen him walk on water, I've already seen him feed the hungry crowds, I've already seen him open blind eyes. But I never saw him die before. And the experience of the cross would be enough to confuse any of us, because how can God be with you? And how can God before

you and you go through this? So when Thomas says, my Lord and my God, one commentator said that it is the most powerful expression of faith in any Gospel account. Now let me ask you something. What do you take from the fact that the most powerful expression of faith in the whole Bible was uttered from the mouth of

the disciple with the greatest doubt. I think it means that even though you might be a skeptic, sometimes that's not all you are, right And even though you might be addicted to something right now, an attic is not all you are. And even though you've limited yourself to the path that you've seen thus far, Jesus said, it's great to see it and believe it, but blessed her you if you really can believe it and you don't even see it. So if I don't see God making away,

is he still a waymaker? This is the decision of Easter. This is the decision of every day. Don't trust the summary because people will tell you things in the summary that are just too simple. God is good all the time, all the time. God is good. Oh, they repeated it. It must be true. That's cute. But to really know that God is good for Thomas, he had to touch the wounds, and the most powerful expression of faith was

uttered from the one with the greatest doubts. I think sometimes God can use the people the most who are willing to get honest about where they really are and just be willing to admit that every day doesn't feel like Easter in your heart. He showed up a week later because Thomas was ready yet. And isn't it crazy that the only thing that would stop God from revealing himself to Thomas was his own belief. Stop doubting and believe makes it sound so simple, doesn't it. Stop doubting?

I wish it was that simple. Siri came on in my office a minute ago before I came to preach. I said, hey, Siri, stop, She said, there's nothing to stop here. I'm talking to right now, there's nothing to stop here. I wish doubt could be like just like, hey, fear stop, Hey, bad memory of the thing that stop? Hey, worrying about things that haven't happened yet stop. And the more I studied it, I realized Jesus wasn't just telling

Thomas to do something mentally. The thing that he said is actually better translated like this, stop becoming an unbeliever and become a believer. That's what he literally said, Danny, stop becoming an unbeliever. When did you start becoming an unbeliever? When did you get so jaded about others about yourself? When did you start trusting more in the summary right than you did in the Holy Spirit? And so I want to share something with you today on this Easter.

A few months ago, I was kind of just unsuspecting on a Thursday afternoon, writing some thoughts down about Lazarus, who eventually did get up and rise from the dead, and there's so much good stuff in that story, but it's for another time. And the opening line to what I thought was like a poem came to me and said, may I never lose the wonder of this gospel mystery. From the heaven came a savior from the ground to

Rosa King. I sat with it for a moment, and it just kept coming to me in this way, and I wrote down the rest. Every day is born in darkness, every winter yields to spring. So let us speak of resurrection even in the suffering. As the sisters begged the Savior come at once to Bethany, for the one you love is dying. But his yes was not to be, and his weeping begged the question could his friend he

not have healed? But he still is Resurrection Even when the two is sealed, speaks a whisper in the silence sleeps the harvest in the sea, cradled now a new beginning in the heart that dares believe. So crucify your hesitation. Whom did expectation bring? Will you welcome resurrection? Will you crown the risen key? So that's the question, will you

welcome resurrection? I know you've lost some things, and I know that it seems like it's too late, But will you welcome the possibility that God is greater than any of your limitations? That's what Jesus wanted. The sisters to see that I'm greater than anything you imagine me to be. And when God doesn't meet our expectations, sometimes it's because He wants to exceed them. If the disciples would have had their way, Jesus never would have gone to the cross.

But if he'd never gone to the cross, he couldn't pay for their sin, he couldn't redeem and set them free. I just want you to know in the bottom of your heart today that whatever you've done, however you've run, whatever limitations you've placed on yourself or God, he's so much greater and he's in you. Father. I pray right now for Easter resurrection, miracles in the lives of men and women all over the world. I thank you so

much that you have called us to this hope. I thank you that it's a living hope, and I thank you that the empty tomb gives us confidence for any of the spaces we don't understand in our life. Lord, I pray for miracles. I pray for breakthrough, I pray for deliverance. I pray for salvation to come to their home today, that you would touch them and they would be whope. In Jesus' name, Amen, Thank you for sharing this day with us. We love you, we're praying for you.

Thank you for being a part of this global ministry all over the world. May God bless you in a tremendous way this week
