RESURRECTION IS REAL

Jesus is hungry for the hungry.

It is the SPIRIT’s strong desire that women will be used in the coming glorious days. But one thing is needed: Commitment to ‘staying’ at the feet of God after you have ‘stayed’ (Read twice).
If GOD Almighty chooses you to carry the gospel, you are called to preach and prove that ‘Jesus is LORD’ and that ‘He is Alive’. That was the task of the early church and it is your task today.

In John 20 after the Lord’s death, there was another very special task. The apostles were in great sorrow that JESUS was dead but they needed both to hear and believe that JESUS is alive. Now, who do you choose if the Apostles have to believe the gospel? GOD never makes a mistake. God’s choice was a woman named Mary from Magdalene.

Do you understand how important this message was? The first human in the Bible to say: ‘I have seen Jesus. Jesus is not dead anymore. He is Alive.’ John 20:18 “Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her.”

Peter and John saw Jesus only after Mary saw Him. Please read John 20:1-18 (Click here) It takes only 2 minutes.

Now you tell me: What did Mary do? It is simple. Continue to stay at the grave when the grave looks empty. Continue to pray even when you feel empty when you pray. Do you now understand what you read earlier: Commitment to ‘staying’ at the feet of God after you have ‘stayed’?

1. If Mary had walked home crying along with Peter and John when they left the grave because the Lord’s body was missing, Mary’s message to the world would have been ‘JESUS is missing’. But she stayed.
2. GOD saw that and sent angels to say, ‘Jesus was alive’. Mary did not jump up immediately. Had Mary gone after hearing the angels, her message would have been ‘angels said, Jesus is risen’.
3. Mary continued to stay at the grave and wept. Then came the voice, the voice that meant everything to her. You know who it was. Now, her message was different. For the first time, it was announced, ‘I have seen JESUS, He is risen’.
4. Mary Magdalene became the messenger to the messengers. Mary must have been 1 in the 120 in the upper room, she would have been one in the many who turned the world upside down.

Will you be today’s Mary Magdalene?
Today’s Peters and Johns are waiting for you to go and stir them up. Apostles are waiting to hear what God has to reveal to you sister. Are you ready? Are you committed to seeing souls saved? If your answer is ‘Yes’, do what Mary Magdalene did. You can be Mary Magdalene only if you will stay, stay, pray and stay.

The apostles could give great witness of His resurrection because they witnessed His resurrection. You must give great witness too. That is you have to stay until you can announce, ‘I have seen Jesus, He is Alive.’

Don’t give up because the grave seems empty. He is only hiding but watching. GOD is interested in raising women who have met their Saviour. Your prayer time will seem dry- Don’t leave. Apostles may give up! Don’t leave. Angels may come. Don’t run. Stay in prayer. He will call you by name. You will see HIM.

I heard the Lord Holy SPIRIT say:

“RESURRECTION is REAL”,

“WHERE IS MARY MAGDALENE?’
