Without the resurrection there is no gospel, no remission of sin and no eternal life. And yet, we have buried the power of God, His victory over sin and death with rabbits that lay colored eggs! What is harder to believe, that Jesus rose from the dead on the third day, or that rabbit lay eggs? Fables fun and folly has overtaken even those who profess to believe. But what is so bad about mixing the gospel with a little fun, they ask? You decide.

[0:00:28] Marjorie: Yes, Lord God, we see the war sort of, but most of the time we don't catch on very quickly to what the enemy has done to try to corrupt, pervert, deceive, mix together all kinds of things and present it as life and truth and reality, Father. So give us eyes to see today and ears to hear and a heart to discern what's really going on out there, father God because basically, those who fail to discern may not even they may perish, Lord God, that's kind of how dangerous this is.
[0:00:59] Marjorie: I thank You, Lord Jesus, that you died on the cross for us. You stood in our place. You didn't back down. You went through the whole ordeal of death to purchase our salvation, our life. You died in our place. You took the death penalty for us and for sin, Father God, and I thank You, Jesus, that you were courageous and brave to do that and you didn't turn back. I thank you that in the process, you also brought us the hope of eternal life, the hope of salvation through the resurrection from the dead for us, Lord God, and You've given us power over all, the power of the enemy. So many gifts you got for us at that crucifixion death, resurrection.
[0:01:38] Marjorie: You got power. We got a power, we got authority, we got resurrection, eternal life, lord, we got justification. I thank You, Lord Jesus, that we do praise you and thank you and ask you to forgive us for making so light of this resurrection from the dead and it being so contaminated with man's perversions of Easter and Ashtar. Father Guy, we thank you now for giving us divine protection as well from the enemy that no weapon formed against us will prosper. And many weapons seem to be formed against many of Your people, if not all.
[0:02:17] Marjorie: So shield us. May the shields of God be up, may our hearts be encouraged, may our bodies be protected, and may you again remind yourself of what you said if you wouldn't shorten these days, no flesh would be saved. So we just thank You, Lord, for coming again, thank you for the inspiration of Your Holy Spirit to guide us now. In Jesus name, amen.
[0:02:38] A: Amen.
[0:02:39] Marjorie: Hey, well, we are going to be speaking today actually, for the show that's airing just before the Resurrection Day, which most people call Easter, which is the pagan remake of Ashtar, which is the goddess one of the goddesses of the Babylonians or whoever they were over there that worshipped all the pagan gods. But it's interesting how these traditions go unnoticed. Like with Halloween, too, they go unnoticed. We just kind of incorporate them into our systems, into our lives, into our festivals.
[0:03:12] Marjorie: And it seems like for every holy day that God put on his calendar, satan put on a holiday to distract and pull away from the merit and the worship and the attention that would be given to Jesus Christ.
[0:03:28] Jarry: Yeah. Incorporating pagan practices into churches, it's like.
[0:03:34] Marjorie: Common.
[0:03:37] Jarry: Churches that celebrate Halloween and celebrate Easter, which really we shouldn't even use the term as believers, the term Easter, because it refers to many different pagan gods and goddesses. One of the original ones was Ishtar, who is the god of sexuality, fertility and war altogether. So that's an origin there of that. There's another one called Astara. This is where we get the most celebrated custom Easter.
[0:04:17] Jarry: You can see how ostara O-S-T-A-R-A comes like, ishtar it's another female goddess supposedly like the Easter Bunny, okay. Was introduced in the United States or America in the 17 hundreds by some Germanic goddess of spring. That was Ostara. So it was those German immigrants that came over here in the 17 hundreds. And Astara this ancient German goddess, she supposedly transformed a bird into a rabbit, and the rabbit rewarded her for that by laying colored eggs in the spring.
[0:05:07] Marjorie: Okay, stop us, stop a second. Whoa.
[0:05:09] Jarry: I mean, what's wrong with this?
[0:05:11] Marjorie: A bird turned into a rabbit and a rabbit lays eggs.
[0:05:14] Jarry: How difficult is that twisted sister?
[0:05:17] Marjorie: Oh, my goodness. We think about the resurrection being hard to believe. How about this? People buy into, they don't even ask him, well, why are we coloring eggs, mom? Why do we do this? That and the other thing. But that's really not what we're going to talk about today.
[0:05:29] Jarry: Well, another thing, too was that supposedly at Easter time, then this rabbit would lay these colored eggs for the good children, the children that had been good, kind of like Santa Claus. If you get fables, the Bible says fables.
[0:05:44] Marjorie: Fables and fairy tales and fantasies.
[0:05:47] Jarry: Truth to fables.
[0:05:48] Marjorie: Yes.
[0:05:49] Jarry: And that's exactly so. There's a lot of churches around that are having Easter egg hunts, advertising, trying to get people to come in there, and it's like but you know, the thing is supposedly Bible believing churches that are celebrating direct pagan practices, incorporating them into their programs of ministry, supposedly.
[0:06:11] Marjorie: And when you participate with these things, it's a form of agreement. You agree with these roots, you don't realize it, and you say, well, it's no big deal and it's not going to hurt anything. Well, anytime we agree with the enemy, he has a way of making it hurt us. But let's go to the Book of Acts for a minute and look at the actual resurrection. Let's see this and understand what that resurrection means. Because in Mark twelve, just before 1224, he says, I am the God of the living. So we're talking about our God is the God of the living.
[0:06:45] Marjorie: That should be good news to us that we don't have to die and be nonexistent for most of the rest of forever and eternity, because God had a way for us to live forever.
[0:06:57] Jarry: On the day of Pentecost. Peter is preaching here. When the Holy Spirit was poured out, he says in Acts, chapter two, verse 22 men of Israel, hear these words jesus of Nazareth, a man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs. Which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves also know him. Being delivered by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God you have taken by lawless hands have crucified and put to death. Whom God raised up having loosed the pains of death, the birth pains of death destroyed those because it was not possible that he should be held by it. So it's not possible that the creator of all life can be held by death.
[0:07:49] Marjorie: Well, it's such a contrast to what you just said about the Easter Bunny. I mean, that foolish, empty, ridiculous narrative put in the place of this truth to obscure this. It's amazing how people want to know the truth. They don't want to think about the future. They don't want to have to be responsible for any of it. They just want to have fun. How is it that an Easter rabbit can cover over the resurrection?
[0:08:20] Marjorie: A rabbit that lays eggs, nonetheless. But rabbits do not lay eggs. Just to clarify.
[0:08:24] Jarry: Well, it's like Santa Claus coming, overcoming the birth of Christ.
[0:08:28] Marjorie: It's just to minimize it's, just as obscure it's to take away distraction.
[0:08:32] Jarry: Distraction.
[0:08:32] Marjorie: And he says in Acts one by many, infallible truths that Jesus proved Himself. He appeared to 500 people infallible proofs and truths and miracles, and yet he is the one of all earth's members that has been the most controversial, the most rejected, the most despised, the most ridiculed, the most satan tries everything to cover him over because he doesn't want people to know that he was raised from the dead.
[0:08:59] Marjorie: And that is the ultimate bottom line.
[0:09:02] Jarry: Yeah, in Romans chapter one, verse four, talks about he was raised from the dead, and basically his resurrection proves that he is the Son of God. Romans one four, he says, he's declared, Jesus Christ our Lord was born of the sea of David according to the flesh in verse three of Romans one, then verse four, and declared to be the Son of God with power, not just the Son of God. You'd think the Son of God actually has power, but there's an emphasis here. Paul makes the Son of God with power according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the according to.
[0:09:44] Marjorie: The spirit of holiness. Not foolishness, not frivolity, not fables, not ridiculous stories, but by holiness we are created by God to be holy. We're not complete until we return and be restored to our original divine nature, which includes holiness by the resurrection from the dead. So the fact that Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead proves that he was accepted by the Father. But for some why do people this is a good question.
[0:10:18] Marjorie: Why is the resurrection so important? Because I'll give you the answer, and then you can tell me what you say. I'll give you the answer.
[0:10:29] Jarry: Give me the answer, and then I'll give you the answer.
[0:10:31] Marjorie: Okay? Because it was there that the devil was defeated. Because if Jesus would have not raised from the dead and been crucified, the devil would have won. He would have killed the Son of God. It would have stopped right there. There would have been no more merit or hope of eternal life, right? So if he would have raised from the dead, we would be, of all men, most miserable. But the resurrection is actually the basis and foundation of the good News.
[0:10:58] Marjorie: But now it becomes, like, dull in the ears and eyes of the people, even the believers, because the devil is trying to disqualify, demystify, make it not important, make it kind of boring. He so he snatches the resurrection from us just because of our unwillingness to be excited about it.
[0:11:19] Jarry: So we're going to get into Roman, not Romans. We were in Romans, but first Corinthians 15 really is the resurrection chapter. It's a big resurrection chapter of the Bible. And you mentioned about Jesus appeared to the Emmaus disciples. He appeared, first of all, after his resurrection to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he'd cast seven devils. There were the women that were the evangelist. Mary Magdalene was the first evangelist for the risen Christ, and he appeared to the apostles as they were sitting at meat and 500 brethren at once, you mentioned.
[0:12:01] Jarry: But if there's no resurrection, there's no.
[0:12:04] Marjorie: Gospel, that's because the Gospel is that's the basis of the Gospel, right. That distinguishes our Gospel from every other.
[0:12:15] Jarry: The founders of all these other religions are dead and gone, or they will be dying and gone soon. But if there's no resurrection, there's no Gospel, there's no hope, there's no future for us, there's no eternal life. And then if there's no Gospel, death reigns and rules, and Satan wins.
[0:12:36] Marjorie: If there's no resurrection, there's no accountability either because, you know, if we just live and die and then we're, like animals are buried and thrown away, that's what Satan is hoping. That neither will believe in reincarnation or will believe in nothing. Because the resurrection requires accountability, because there is a resurrection unto life and there's also a resurrection unto death because people live forever.
[0:13:02] Marjorie: They don't just die and cease to exist. And so Satan wants us to postpone any kind of decision we might make regarding our eternal destination, and also then by pulling away from us any joy or power or encouragement that would come from the resurrection, we're going to live forever. And where we live forever is really determined by what we decide. And it's really unfortunate, if you read the Bible, how down, how the enemy has downplayed even the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our churches and have substituted many lovely things for the truth and.
[0:13:40] Jarry: Oftentimes in the churches that we've made Jesus boring, right?
[0:13:45] Marjorie: Dull, boring, impotent. Yes.
[0:13:48] Jarry: Just kind of a memory or a figment of our imagination.
[0:13:51] Marjorie: When Mark was ending his gospels, he said, go preach this gospel, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit. And these signs and wonders will follow those who believe. If they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them. They will heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead. This is not boring. But our churches have dulled down the truth about Jesus Christ until it's like almost a social club at best, or it's a chore.
[0:14:21] Marjorie: To go there.
[0:14:21] Jarry: We have to substitute entertainment, light shows, mixing pagan practices.
[0:14:28] Marjorie: That shows how far gone we are.
[0:14:30] Jarry: Yeah, really it does. But let's get in one Corinthians 15, the Gospel beginning with verse one. Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preach to you, which you also received in which you stand. Okay, this is good news. Paul declared it to them. They received it and they're standing in it, right? And he says, by which you are also saved. But there's an if after that. If you hold fast that word which I preached to you unless you believed in vain.
[0:15:04] Marjorie: That's exactly it. If you don't receive the right gospel, if you receive a mixed gospel, which most of them are, and they're mixing law with grace and frivolity and foolishness with faith, and people don't have faith, then because it doesn't seem to match what they're learning. So he preached that right gospel, the Good News Gospel, the Gospel that includes the power of the resurrection, the power of eternal life, the power to come back from the dead, the power to raise the dead, the power to heal the sick. He preached that gospel and they said and he said, you received it.
[0:15:39] Marjorie: And you not only received it, but now we're standing in it. Ephesian says, stand in having done all to stand. So how we do is, after you receive the gospel, it's a matter of standing and having done all to withstand in that evil day. And he says, unless if you don't do that, if you don't receive it, if you don't stand in it, if you don't have it or hear the right gospel in the first place, then you're going to believe whatever you believe in vain. It's going to be vanity to believe you're concocted put together assembly of beliefs and things that you think are true just because you want them to be true. But just because you declare something to be the truth doesn't make it the truth.
[0:16:20] Marjorie: The only thing that makes it the truth is Jesus Christ, who is the truth, right?
[0:16:24] Jarry: And here in verse three of one, Corinthians 15 for I delivered to you first of all. First of all, he says he had things in right order here which I also received. So he received the gospel. He received basically, you could say, a download of the Gospel from the Lord himself. He says that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. Now, according well, we read the Scriptures and it says that Jesus died. Well, basically the word according there also means fulfilling in fulfillment of the Scriptures that were prophesied about him through Isaiah and many other prophets.
[0:17:09] Marjorie: Just think of it. Back in the Old Testament, he left Jesus God, the Holy Spirit, left a record for them to see the power of the resurrection, even if they didn't have the New Testament, because he was foretelling and preparing. Even Job said I know that my redeemer lives I mean, Job, in the middle of his trials, he's declaring the resurrection of Jesus Christ yeah.
[0:17:33] Jarry: In verse four, that he was buried, okay. And that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and he was seen, okay? He was seen by Sephas. That's another name for Peter. It just means, I think, rock or stone. And then by the twelve, the twelve apostles. After that, he was seen by over 500 brethren at once. Very likely. This is included in the first chapter of the Book of Acts, of whom the greater part remain to the present, which was at the time that this was written. But some have fallen asleep or died.
[0:18:16] Marjorie: So SEPHIS was, I believe he was the man who walked with Jesus on the road to Emmaus the day Jesus.
[0:18:21] Jarry: Was I'm sorry, no, this you're thinking of Cleopus.
[0:18:26] Marjorie: Oh, that's right.
[0:18:27] Jarry: SEPHIS is another name for Peter.
[0:18:29] Marjorie: All right. Peter saw him. That's right, peter saw him. He went back and found Peter because Peter was so downcast and discouraged because he had denied Jesus. And so there was reuniting or forgiveness.
[0:18:44] Jarry: You can imagine is that the last thing you did was deny Jesus before he died. You're supposed to be his big, bad promoter mouthpiece and, oh, I'll never deny you. And then he's just absolutely crushed. So basically when Jesus spoke to the they spoke to the angel actually, at the tomb, spoke to the women, he says, Go tell his disciples.
[0:19:11] Marjorie: And Peter, now here's the deal, that.
[0:19:13] Jarry: He has risen from the dead.
[0:19:15] Marjorie: We only hear about these things through the preaching of the Gospel from generation to generation, but they were actually living it out right there. They actually had people who'd been there. Oh, did you know so and so saw Jesus? Yeah. And they all had eyewitnesses or firsthand accounts of Jesus Christ raising from the dead. And God had to do that because otherwise it would just have been completely buried. I mean, these men, Luke and Paul, had to write it to establish its validity, because otherwise, if we wouldn't have the Scripture, everything Jesus did back then would be absolutely inaccessible to us and totally buried, even as it is now. If you don't read the word. If you don't read it consistently and you don't read it diligently and you just sort of slam through it, it's going to be hidden from you. And the power of the gospel is in the power of the resurrection.
[0:20:07] Marjorie: It says, even in I don't remember which gospel, or is it one of the Epistles? The same power that raised Jesus from the dead, romans chapter eight, dwells in us. Yes. So therefore, that same power of life, restoration of life, healing, virtue, it's in us. It is in us. Even though we don't seem to be totally very much aware of it, we seem to be more taken up with trivia, this Christian Trivia, and it's getting to the point now where it's going to all fall away. It's not going to do you any good to just have all your lovely this and that if we don't have a solid foundation in Jesus Christ.
[0:20:43] Jarry: And again, Romans chapter one, declared to be the Son of God with power by the resurrection of the dead. And Paul was writing, I believe it was, to the Corinthians, he says, and when we come to you, he says, I'm not going to just know the speech of those who are puffed up. He says, I'm not going to just hear your fancy spiritual talk, but he says, I'm going to look for the power. For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
[0:21:16] Jarry: The power here was that Jesus appeared to these witnesses and it transformed. We read in the Book of Acts, I don't remember exactly where it is, but it says this thing was not done in a corner.
[0:21:29] Marjorie: Yeah.
[0:21:30] Jarry: So this whole cross resurrection event right in the public road, actually, it was publicly crucified. Jesus was raised from the dead. All kinds of witnesses, many witnesses that testified that, hey, he's alive.
[0:21:48] Marjorie: Well, interesting enough, all of the precautions that the scribes and the sadducees took to ensure that Jesus wouldn't get out of the tomb, they set the guard, they sealed the tomb, they put the big stone there, they put the soldiers there. All of the things that they did to ensure that he would never come out of that tomb, the seal, the.
[0:22:10] Jarry: Seal of Rome, actually, the authority of Rome that said, this cannot be opened.
[0:22:16] Marjorie: But all these things were the egg exactly flipped on them and became the evidence that Jesus Christ truly did raise from the dead, because he got past the soldiers, he got past the stone, he got past the seal, and he got past all even their lies when they said, don't tell anybody, and pretend he's been stolen. All of these things actually turn out to be verifications of the resurrection. And because it was such, it wasn't published in the news media, I'm sure.
[0:22:48] Marjorie: Nothing. It was all hidden like it is today. But there was absolutely too many people who saw it, who experienced it, and even the soldiers saw the angels and so they were paid to shut up. I mean, it's just like how many people it's the same thing today, same thing. But all these things that Satan tried to do to hold him down became the very powerful things God used to prove Jesus lives. But anyway, I'm going to just go back for a quick second to one Corinthians chapter where we're at.
[0:23:20] Marjorie: And last of all, Paul says, and last of all, he was seen by me also one born out of due time. So Paul wasn't in on this original ascension resurrection. He was still out there doing whatever he was doing.
[0:23:32] Jarry: But Jesus appeared to him in Acts chapter nine. On the road to Damascus.
[0:23:37] Marjorie: Exactly. But it was not at the same time as these other guys were seeing. He's just writing about this, but he says, for I am the least of the apostles, also not worthy to be called an apostle because I persecuted the church of God. But listen to this verse ten but by the grace of God, here's for you and me today, but by the grace of God, I am what I am. And his grace towards me was not in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. So he's actually saying, talking about the transformation, the power of the grace of God to work through Him. He said, I am what I am, by the grace of God, I am what I am. In other words, I came through all of this horrible stuff god brought you and I through some horrible things, vile things, ridiculously dangerous things.
[0:24:25] Marjorie: And God's grace then towards Paul, towards you, towards I is not in vain, he says, and because it's not in vain, we're able to labor more diligently, more persistently, more with, more faith, more abundance, more assurance. So you cannot do anything of the mighty things God is talking about us doing if you don't have faith in the resurrection, if you don't have faith even in the word of God and in the goodness of God. So really it's out of your faith, out of that belief, out of that knowing actually of what is true comes the doing. Out of knowing comes the doing.
[0:25:01] Marjorie: Not doing creates knowing. It's knowing creates the fruit, the fruits of going forth, laying hands on the sick, healing those who are sick and delivering them from demons. Therefore, that's why Paul preaches the gospel. But now going to verse twelve. Now if he's making an argument here, paul's very good, he's an apologist. He's very good at making arguments about or not arguments like you and I think of an argument like controversy. But building his case for the resurrection, he says, now if Christ is preached that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection from the dead? So if you say that, oh, I don't believe in the resurrection. But just because you don't believe in something doesn't mean, like I said earlier, it's not the case, it's not true.
[0:25:50] Marjorie: But if there's no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. So either one or the other, you can have them both. If Christ raised from the dead, there is a resurrection. If Christ didn't raise from the dead, then there is no resurrection. So Christ is the resurrection. Christ is the resurrection. If he didn't raise, then there's no resurrection. If he raised there is. And if Christ is not risen, he's going on with this argument, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is also in vain. In other words, if we're just making this up and preaching to you that Christ rose from the dead when he really didn't, then your faith is pointless.
[0:26:28] Marjorie: And we are false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise up, if in fact the dead do not raise. So he's saying Christ is the first fruits. If one raised, they can all be raised. It's possible. He raised Lazarus, he raised the widow's son, Jerus's daughter, he raised various ones back to brought them back to life. But he's talking here about a bigger resurrection than just waking up and living more days on this planet. He's talking about waking up to the resurrection of newness of life, eternal life and salvation.
[0:27:01] Marjorie: This is what people, they don't cherish their salvation. They just put it on the back shelf, lose it, probably in some drawer up in the attic, and they forget that they're really that's your whole point. Salvation, resurrection, redemption, the return of Jesus Christ. These big events are not emotional events. You don't get them because you feel excited or you feel like you're going to be resurrected. It is because of the fact of God's Word, and he already did this and he can't lie.
[0:27:29] Marjorie: And he says in verse 17, well, verse 16, for if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen, as he said again. And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. So the very fact that Christ raised from the dead also brings with it the good news that we're set free from our sins, whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord. So there's still an option there. You don't have to do any of this, and then those who fallen asleep have perished. But if you hope to see your loved ones again, you're going to have to believe in the resurrection.
[0:27:57] Marjorie: This is the only way. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are, of all men, most miserable. So what's the point if you're going to just live, live for a future that doesn't happen and doesn't come, and there's no resurrection, there's no heaven there's no salvation, then you might as well live it up down here if this is all you got. And that's what most people kind of do. They kind of see, that's all we got.
[0:28:18] Jarry: And so the fact that Jesus Christ has risen from the dead tells us that death has no power over us. As believers in Jesus Christ, if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. So what happens is that we believe that Jesus Christ has risen from the dead. That means that we have eternal life right now. That means that we're going to be living with Him forever, continuing, continuing on.
[0:28:51] Jarry: So this life, this short span of time here is not the end. It's not just all we got. We've got forever to look forward to. At the same time, the fact too, that Jesus Christ is raised from the dead means that he is the Judge of all the earth, that we're going to stand before Him as believers and our works are going to be judged. If we're not believing would be lost. We've been lost then before we were found. If you don't believe, you're lost before you even stand before the Judge.
[0:29:32] Marjorie: Well, actually, we are saved. We're found when we believe in the gospel. And really the gospel is without the resurrection. If there's no resurrection, there is no gospel. There's no gospel and there's no forgiveness of sins. So the resurrection, though we make so light of it that we hardly think of it at all, and it's just a minor little element of our salvation story. It is the feature, it is the main point.
[0:29:58] Marjorie: And without the resurrection, there is no gospel. And so Jesus Christ, any other gospel, that does not make Jesus Christ the resurrection and is futile and pointless. It's not a gospel that can save.
[0:30:13] Jarry: We have to keep in mind that we're talking about like theologians describe it as the cross resurrection event, okay? If it wasn't for the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ on the cross, we would have no salvation. But if they're both there still, if he's not raised from the dead, it's pointless. We don't have salvation. When we talk about the cross, we're talking about the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for our, so do our sins.
[0:30:46] Jarry: But we're also talking about the resurrection. Out of that cross comes the resurrection amen of Jesus. Because we said it earlier, it was not possible. The Son of life, the Creator of life, everything was created through him. It's not possible that death could hold Him even though he voluntarily submitted to death. Why? To go in and defeat death.
[0:31:12] Marjorie: Exactly.
[0:31:12] Jarry: Death is defeated, satan is defeated. That's what we have to keep in mind. And that we're going to live forever. We can live without fear, that we can lay. Down our lives. However, that is, if it's not necessarily being a martyr, that's maybe living for Christ, but living for Christ gives us the confidence, because we know the people you imagine, the people that had seen the risen Jesus, they all talk about fired up.
[0:31:45] Jarry: Well, and when they're empowered with the Holy Spirit, they're saying, we've seen Him, we know this, we speak that we do know. Paul says, or Jesus said and testify that we have seen that same knowing and that same assurance is ours as we declare the beauties of Christ.
[0:32:03] Marjorie: Amen. And even though in the beginning of this ordeal, when the disciples and apostles and the women who follow Jesus went through all this, he mentioned that he was going to raise from the dead in three days, I'll rebuild the temple, they did not understand that. So those days when he was in the tomb would have been days of serious examination. What did we do? What did we believe? Where are we going from here? What's going to happen?
[0:32:26] Marjorie: And you may be in that place today of what we're going to do from here, where are we going to go, what's going to happen? Well, we do know that Jesus Christ has already promised us eternal life for whosoever will believe in Him? And so we just pray right now, Father God, that this spirit of holiness, the spirit of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, will move into the mortal bodies of all who are listening. And whether they're sick or weary, discouraged, broken down, don't know where to go, just Lord, inspire each one of us with a new refreshing of the power of the truth of Your resurrection and let us move away from foolishness and folly.
[0:33:02] Marjorie: Help us not to participate in the things that bring grief and insult to Your cross. Father God, I pray that this resurrection weekend, resurrection Day, will become a resurrection life. And we will walk in that power of your life onto and into and walking right into eternal life, because, Lord, you made a way for us to defeat the enemy. So, Father God, we pray right now for encouragement and deliverance from all of the lies that they'll just fall off, all the stupid stuff that Satan has put up in the way of the resurrection. It will be fall off. It'll lose its charm, it'll lose its enticement, it'll lose its ability to deceive and distract in Jesus name.
[0:33:44] Jarry: Yeah, as you're a believer in Jesus Christ, romans 811 says, but if the spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his spirit who dwells in you. That's not just talking about someday. I'll have a glorified body I just want to release right now. Healing.
[0:34:10] Marjorie: Yes.
[0:34:10] Jarry: Jesus, the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in each one. Lord, who believes in you, who's listening right now. We release healing to you, into your mortal body. Healing, cleansing and deliverance. We release it into you now in the name of Jesus Christ, amen. Amen.
[0:34:33] Marjorie: And I believe that there's someone who's listening who has a problem with their ear. And I believe that the Lord is opening it's a kind of a dullness in your ear. I believe the Lord is opening that right now. There are others who are receiving physical healings inside of their body. And God is obviously a healing is a healing wherever it happens.
[0:34:54] Jarry: I believe there's someone that there's like a twitching in your stomach, around your stomach area and that's a sign of healing. I don't know what it's been, if it's been ulcers or whatever it is indigestion or some tumor, I don't know. But Lord, I thank you for that. I just thank you for that healing that's being released in the midsection of this person today.
[0:35:20] Marjorie: And I also see that there's someone who has a right in your area of your forehead, right where you kind of furl your brow and where your eyes, that little wrinkle part right there in the middle of that forehead, someone who has had a lot of pain and especially like brain fog. And we just command that that fog be removed now. And you can think again. You can think clearly. You're not forgetting things anymore.
[0:35:44] Marjorie: You're remembering what you're doing and where you're supposed to go and blah, blah, blah. So blah, blah, blah, whatever all that means to God, let it be done, Father God, in Jesus name, amen.
[0:35:55] Jarry: Amen.
[0:35:56] Marjorie: All right, so a couple of announcements real quick. We're going to be doing a conference on the April 29, which is a Saturday again at Valiant Church. This one's called Healing and Deliverance. You can sign up on eventbrite, we'd love to have you come. It's the same time Saturday from ten to three at the Valiant Church, which is what is the address of that? We'll check it out. I don't want to say it because I might get it wrong.
[0:36:20] Marjorie: I got it wrong last year. Anyway, it's free.
[0:36:23] Jarry: The intersection right near Bass Lake Road and 169.
[0:36:27] Marjorie: Yeah. New Hope. There you go. And also we're going to encourage you to start picking up your episodes of God on Trial. They're like, I think, I don't know, maybe $3 apiece. And that's 28 minutes audio dramatization of the war between God and Satan for the souls of men. You can start with verse, episode one, or you can pick episode 28, whatever you want to do. But we have 28 episodes. We really encourage you to start doing that because your kids will love it.
[0:36:56] Marjorie: It's educational, it's inspiring, it's evangelistic and it's entertaining, but it's also very scriptural. So again, God on trial. Go to the website liferecovery.com. Liferecovery.com. There's lots of good stuff out there. God bless you and have a blessed resurrection. Life.
[0:37:19] A: I have an emergency what is your location? For now I can't brought you three two.
[0:37:42] Jarry: Rescue radio because there's a war for your soul.
