“The Resurrection: God’s Gamechanger!” April 5, 2026 1 Peter 1:3-5; Romans 15:13; John 11:25, 26 The Resurrection: The Basis of Our HOPE! Hope: the energy in the Spirit to Reach! Our Hope may be redefined, but never ultimately defeated! Hope is the “Forerunner” of Faith, without which we cannot please God. (Hebrews 11:6) Ephesians 1:15-23: A God-Given Prayer For You on “Resurrection Day” The spirit of wisdom and revelation in knowing Him (intimately, personally) “Eyes of our heart”; “get it”; deep knowing! Hope of His calling: Out of and into! Riches re: to His Inheritance! (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) death life; darkness/light; disease/health; anger, bitterness/forgiveness; fear, shame/perfect Love; rejection/acceptance; pride/humility; lack/provision; despair/Hope; chaos/order! The exceeding (more than enough) power/authority to those who believe, in line and in partnership with, in connection to …. The Resurrection and Seating (positioning) of Christ! Above: greater than, superior to, FAR ABOVE …. Every spiritual enemy! …. NOW AND FOREVER! The Resurrection Connection is the Birthright of His Church, His Body! (Ephesians 1:22, 23) ✸ HOPE vs. DISAPPOINTMENT HOPE is ESSENTIAL to Spiritual Function (Hebrews 11:1) and is centered in the Spirit! DISAPPOINTMENT is CIRCUMSTANTIALLY motivated and centered in the emotions/mind. Its nature is temporary. Hope functions even with disappointment manifested.
