Easter At Evangel

Come on, he is risen. We don't just serve a crucified king, we serve a risen king, amen? Come on, clap your hands, give him praise today. We know that Jesus is the name above every other name. Come on, let's stand up on this Easter morning. Jesus, we exalt you in this place as the name above every other name. It's not just a slogan, it's not just a catchy phrase from scripture. It is the truth that has stood through the ages, that death could not hold you, the grave could not hold you, sin cannot bind you, but you have overcome them all. And Father, that is our confession this morning. As the people of God gathered on this morning, commemorating your victory, which has now become our victory, we declare that our hope and our trust is in you, Jesus, that you are the name above every other name. Father, open our hearts, open our ears to hear your word, to receive it today, and to be transformed by it. In Jesus' name we pray. Come on, if that's your prayer, say amen. Amen, go ahead and be seated. You know, there was a declaration that emerged immediately following Jesus' resurrection. It was Curiasiæsus,

and it's Curiasiæsus which became the declaration of the church and the disciples. It became the declaration through the church that was persecuted in Rome. It actually became a foundational creed of all Christianity, Curiasiæsus, meaning Jesus is Lord. In the first hundred years after Jesus' death, it was not just a spiritual statement, but it was a statement of allegiance. Romans would say Caesar is Lord, but Christians defied that declaration with their own that said no, Caesar is not a god, Jesus is the one true God. Jesus is the Lord, and it cost many their lives. Over the next 200 years, emperors like Nero and Diocletian would persecute and murder Christians who drew this line in the sand and said Jesus, not Caesar, is Lord. The math equation was simple at that time. Declare Caesar is Lord and you live. Declare Jesus is Lord and you get the sword. From AD 300 to 500, with Christianity being legalized by Constantine, the phrase Curiasiæsus, or Jesus is Lord, became more cultural. It was less the confession of the persecuted Christian and now more the orthodoxy or the standard of the public. Even the Nicene Creed written in 325 AD declares this same truth,

this foundational creed that Christianity declares. I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ. In the medieval church from 500 to 1500 AD, Jesus is Lord began to be embedded in the traditions of the church, embedded in the sacraments, embedded in the liturgy, embedded in church authority and in society and even in politics. The phrase became much more cultural rather than personal or convictional. But in the Reformation, men like Martin Luther rediscovered Jesus is Lord as a declaration of personal conviction. As a personal declaration, they boldly declared that Jesus is Lord even over church authority, even over hierarchy, even over church tradition. They returned the people back to a heart level allegiance to Christ rather than an institutional or traditional identity. Then in the revivals of the 1700s and the 1800s and the 1900s, Jesus is Lord became an expression and a public confession of faith. Once again, millions were urged to surrender their lives to the Lord Jesus Christ by John Wesley and George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards during the Great Awakening

and Charles Finney and D.L. Moody during the Second Great Awakening and by Billy Graham and Smith Wigglesworth and Amy Semple McPherson during the evangelistic gatherings of the 1900s. Today, in many ways, we've come full circle. Jesus is Lord is again a spiritual statement, but it's more than a slogan. It's more than a cultural idea. It is a call in our context, in our day, and our time to allegiance to Christ. It's Christians today who boldly declare Jesus is Lord rather than what our culture declares, that self is Lord, power is Lord, comfort is Lord, wealth is Lord. See, today it does not mean denying Caesar the allegiance he desires. It's not the fear of a Roman sword that makes us decide. Instead, it's the pain of crucifying your own flesh, the pain of crucifying your own desires in allegiance to Jesus. And millions resist that cross in our day. See, one of the great gratifications of self in our day is titles, like name above all names. Jesus is Lord, we love titles. You ask somebody, who are you and what do you do and what you're discovering is, you know, in what they do, what's their title and that gives you an indication of what authority they carry.

A CEO has authority over the direction of a company, over employees and setting vision. A coach determines strategy and playing time and the direction of a team. A doctor has authority over diagnosis and over treatment. Influencers, unfortunately, have authority today in our public opinions and trends and our behaviors. I got a letter one time addressed to me and it used a title I had never heard before. It said, to the most reverend, Josh. And I was like, wow, I have to Google that because I have no idea what that means. I don't know if that's like a good thing or a bad thing or if that's even a real thing at all. The most reverend and I found out that it was actually a very esteemed title of honor and the person was honoring me in a way that I didn't even understand. It's funny, in this role, there's different titles. Friends jokingly call me bishop. Some of you, at times, call me father, which is funny because I'm not Catholic and I definitely ain't your daddy. My favorite title probably came from my kids a few months ago when one of them walked in the room and said, hey, big fella. Which apparently is a Bluey reference, who knew? Speaking of cultural icons of our day, Bluey. Jesus didn't give himself the title Lord, it was the people that were around him

that began to declare him as Lord. Jesus actually called himself something different. 80 times in the last third of your Bible, in what we call the New Testament or the Second Testament in Scripture, Jesus refers to himself and he does not use the title that would give him the most gravitas or the most pride. He uses a totally different title and really, the title he chooses says a lot about who he is. 80 different times he uses this title. Let me give you a few. In Matthew 9, 6, it says the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins. In Luke 19, 10, Jesus says the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. In Matthew 20, 28, it says the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many. In Mark 8, 31, it says the Son of Man must suffer many things. He must be killed and he must rise again. In Matthew 24, 30, Jesus says they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven. Jesus refers to himself again and again and again as the Son of Man like other sons of men. And if Jesus really wanted like the title and he wanted the distinction and he was both fully God and fully man, surely he would have said, you know what? Don't call me Son of Man.

I'm not like any of you. Call me Son of the Living God. That's the title you should use. See, Jesus actually was both Son of God implying his deity and Son of Man implying his humanity. He was two natures in one single person. And his humanity was so evident, wasn't it? I mean, we celebrated around Christmas and Easter. We come together around the humanity of Jesus. The fact that he was a baby, born of a woman in a manger, the fact that he cried, he messed his diaper, he grew and he needed to eat and drink, he sweated as a man, he fatigued as he walked around the countryside, his body is crucified on a cross, he experiences death as a Son of Man. We are familiar with his humanity that in many ways he was like other sons of men. But people meet him and they realize this is not just a Son of Man. There's something more to this guy and they begin to call him the Son of God. They discover that he is the Son of God. He begins demonstrating to them that he is the name above all names. And I wanna walk you through the journey today of how Jesus reveals that he's the name above all names by introducing his kingdom into our world, reintroducing, I should say, his kingdom. kingdom into our world and he doesn't introduce his kingdom in the way that we're used to

kingdoms being introduced. He doesn't come with human authority or human power or human wealth or for human gain as many who are trying to climb the mountains of our society do. No he comes with a different kind of kingdom and it's an important distinction because the Bible says that there is a kingdom of this world, that Satan himself is the ruler of this world, that he is the god of this age, that our world is under the power of the evil one. And Jesus says I'm not coming to bring that kingdom, I'm coming to bring my kingdom and my kingdom is a kingdom of joy, my kingdom is a kingdom of peace, my kingdom is a kingdom of joy in the Holy Spirit, of right living, it's a reversal of the kingdom of man. And so Jesus comes and how does he establish his kingdom? Well he enters into conflict with the power of darkness. He enters into conflict with the kingdom of this age. He challenges the kingdom of our world, the kingdom that says Christianity is just cultural not convictional. He challenges the kingdom that persecutes and murders his followers. He challenges the kingdom of this world that is built on self and built on power and built on wealth. You cannot serve self and serve the Christ. Jesus confronts this darkness and actually this darkness confronts Jesus. In Matthew 4 shortly after Jesus is baptized the Bible says that he's led by the Holy Spirit out into the wilderness and there the god of this world, Satan, comes to Jesus and he tempts him in the same way that we experience temptation. Jesus is tested in his physical needs, he's hungry, he hasn't eaten. Jesus is tested in his pride and he's tested in the way that Adam and Eve were tested saying will you trust God with power and control or will you seize it for yourself? It's not so different than the test that each one of us face. In Matthew 4.10 Jesus does something that no other son of man was able to do and he looks at Satan and he goes away from me and the devil leaves him. And in overcoming that testing and that darkness he does something that had never been done

before in human history. He does what Adam and Eve could have done as children of God but failed to do. What does he do? He puts his heel on the head of that age old serpent and he begins to crush the power of darkness. Come on, aren't you thankful that on this Easter morning Jesus put his heel on the head of the serpent and he began to crush the kingdom of darkness. It was predicted in Genesis 3.15 he will crush his head but the serpent, the offspring, will strike his heel. It's the prediction that we see in the beginning of scripture. Jesus withstands Satan in the way other sons of men could not. You know what, the devil often comes to us in the same way that he came to Adam. The devil often comes to us and tries to get to us in the same way he got to Adam. How did he come to Adam? He comes through what Adam values the most. He comes through Eve. And the devil may not show up to you personally or physically but he may come to you through the things that look like the greatest blessings and the greatest gifts in your life. He may come to you through that title that you've worked so hard to obtain that now you finally have and you feel respected and it produces a pride in your heart. He may come through the financial margin that you've worked hard to try to create, making a way for yourself, and he teaches you how to be self-sufficient and not depend on God. He may come to you through the accomplishments and pretty soon you look at your life and you go, you know, Jesus is alright but I've actually built a pretty good life for myself. I'm pretty comfortable. And he lulls you to sleep and into complacency thinking, I'm just fine in the kingdom of this world. The challenge though, friends, is that if you bow to the enemy when he tempts you in those moments, you forfeit the authority and the victory that you have in Christ Jesus. You say, I will live out this life according to the kingdom and the pattern of this world

rather than walking in the kingdom of the living God. See Jesus is Lord is still a bold and costly declaration that each of us must make today. Jesus doesn't bow, he says, away from me, Satan, and in doing so he shall that he is not just a son of man, he is the true man. He does what other men could not. My key takeaway is this, Jesus is the man. And he breaks the power of darkness. He punches a hole in the kingdom of this world and then he goes out from that time on in Matthew 4 and the Bible says he begins to preach, repent for the kingdom of heaven has come near. He's saying now you have to turn and actually follow this new kingdom and this new way. He preaches that the kingdom of God has come and he goes to people and he says, hey, James and Andrew and Peter and John, why don't you leave your fishing boats, leave your father's business and come follow me because I have a better purpose for your life. He looks at Matthew and he says, hey, you have tamed all the wealth that this society has to offer. You've done it by ripping off your own people and so here you are, wealthy in your high castle but rejected by your own people. You're in that kind of a conundrum. Why don't you leave your greed, leave your title behind and come follow me. I have a better plan for you. He looks at Simon the Zealot and he says,

why don't you leave your political extremism and your violence and come follow and build my kingdom. He looks at Thomas and he says, why don't you step out of your doubt and have faith and believe. He stands on a mountainside and he preaches to the poor and the oppressed and he says, why don't you step out of your overlooked obscurity because there's a place for you in the kingdom that I'm building. But it's not just about leaving where you were. He also says, don't just leave it behind but come follow me. We get deceived sometimes into thinking, well, if I just say I'm sorry God and repent and I give my heart to Jesus, then I'm okay, right? It's not just a calling out of something, it's that God wants to build something new in you. It's a new life taking residence in you. Don't just leave something, transition into something new, into a new way of living. He says, you are fishermen but I'm gonna make you fishers of men. You are the least in this kingdom but I'm gonna make you the greatest in my kingdom. You struggled with doubt before but you're gonna have faith and you're gonna believe. How? Because you're gonna see that the kingdom has come. You're gonna see it with your own,

come on, somebody who's been a doubter in this place today, let it shift in your heart and say, from these days forward, I am gonna see with my own eyes that Jesus is Lord. Then what does he do? He begins to show them. Jesus begins to manifest the power of his kingdom in that time that he was walking the earth. In Matthew 4, 23, it says, Jesus went throughout Galilee. I know we read Galilee in Jerusalem and we think super spiritual places where God does, listen, I've been there, it's just countryside. It's like walking through the hills of North Dakota, walking around Lake Chida, that's what it looks like. And it's in those places that Jesus goes throughout Galilee, he teaches in their synagogues, he proclaims the good news of the kingdom. And what happens? He heals every disease and sickness among the people. News about him begins to spread all over Syria. People brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon possessed, those having seizures, the paralyzed, and he heals them. What is he doing? He's reaching into that kingdom of darkness and those pockets of darkness, and he's saying, in my kingdom, I am making all things new. In my kingdom, I redeem what was broken and what was lost. In my kingdom, you're not an end, there is a new beginning.

He proclaims through miracles that he puts on display that a day is coming when God will make all things new. Come on, friend, God's conquest over evil has already broken out in our world. Jesus established it, and it continues, it grows. Even in our everyday lives, we see the pockets of life that come from Christ breaking out among us. It's evidenced by the lives of people in this church who have been set free, who have been changed, who are not just doing a religious service on Easter weekend, but they would stand right here where I stand and say, Jesus has transformed me from the inside out. He has changed me in a way that I couldn't change myself. Jesus' culmination of demonstrating his power would come at his own death and resurrection from the grave. With the declaration, he is not here, he is risen, why is that statement so profound? Because it means that Jesus overcame the grave, it means that Jesus overcame death itself. He didn't just set people free, but he vanquished the kingdom of darkness. You've heard it said before, we are not, as followers of Jesus, fighting for victory. We are fighting from a place of having already won, of already having the victory. Then this transition point comes in Scripture. And Jesus in Matthew 16, 13, looks at his disciples and he asks them the question that every one of us has to answer.

And he says, who do people say, or who do you say, that the Son of Man is? And man, I'm telling you, friend, every person in this room online must give an account for what they did with the Son of Man, for what they believed about the Son of Man. And the key to all eternity turns on Peter's words when he looks back at Jesus and he says, you've said that you're a Son of Man, you've told us again and again and again, but I know that you are the Christ. You're the prophesied one, you're the Messiah, you are what? You're not just a Son of Man, you are the Son of the living God. Jesus says, I'm the Son of Man, I'm the Son of Man, I'm the Son of Man. Peter has a revelation. Not only are you fully human, but you are God in the flesh. You are God incarnate. You are the God who wrapped himself in skin and walked a mile in our shoes. Having seen the humanity of Jesus and the divinity of Jesus, Peter boldly declares, Jesus is Lord. It was a statement that didn't come out of nowhere because 500 years earlier, a man named Daniel had a vision. He says, in the middle of the night, I had a vision. I saw someone like a Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the ancient one.

Who does he approach? He approaches Yahweh, God the Father. And he was led into his presence. And that Son of Man was given authority, honor, and sovereignty over all the nations of the world. Can we just not just read scripture to read it? Can we just pause and recognize that they're talking about this Jesus who bled, this Jesus who sweated, this Jesus who gave up his life. He is the same one who has all authority and honor and sovereignty over all the nations of the world so that people of every race and nation and language would obey him. His rule is eternal. It will never end. His kingdom will never be destroyed. See, to the common man, he looks like a Son of Man, like all of us. But to those living in the truth, they recognize Jesus is not just a Son of Man. He's the exalted one in Daniel 7 that stood before the very ancient of days. After this revelation to the disciples, Jesus begins to teach them. And he says, you know what? The Son of Man is gonna be, he's gonna suffer. He's gonna be persecuted. He will die. And amen, praise the Lord. He will rise again.

What is Jesus saying? He's saying, you've seen. You've walked with me. And you know that I have authority on the earth. But you're about to see that I have authority over all the earth. Not just on the earth, but over all the earth. Jesus confronts darkness. He declares his kingdom. He confirms it with power. And he submits himself to suffering. Friend, it's not so different than the pattern of our lives that Jesus steps into your life and he confronts the power of darkness at work in you. If you're not a son of God, you are a son of destruction. There is a darkness that resides in you that causes you to sin, that causes you to have pride, that causes you to thrive on self-sufficiency, that causes you to do what Adam and Eve did and say, I know there's God's way, but I'm gonna seize power and control for myself. There is a darkness in us that Jesus confronts. And he says, there's a better way. Repent, for the kingdom of God has come near you. Right now, in this moment, in 2026, the word of God is being declared to you. I'm not saying out of me, because I'm saying out of his living, active word. And now, you have a responsibility for what you know. And if you didn't know before, now you know.

And I confront you today with the question, what will you do with this son of man? Who do you say that the son of man is? I say. He's the one in Genesis 3.15, the offspring of Eve, who pressed his heel into the head of that serpent of old, and though his heel was struck, they killed his humanity. He crushed that serpent's head when they could not kill his divinity, and three days later, he rose again. And in doing so, Jesus declared, the one that Daniel spoke about, I am that Son of Man. I am not just the Son of Man today as we stand around Galilee, I am the one who was alive in the throne room of heaven 500 years ago when Daniel prophesied the promise, and I'm here among you today declaring God has come for his people. All authority and honor and sovereignty is mine. What does Jesus immediately say to the disciples next? I am the Son of Man, and I am that Son of God, and I will build my church. That's why later, Scripture says, the same power of God that raised Christ from the dead now lives in you. Because Jesus never kept it for himself. He says resurrection power, the dunamis power that we see in the book of Acts now lives and resides in the life of every believer. See, friends, I wrote this message,

and I don't mean, I'm not, please, not trying to be condescending, but I thought, I can't explain this well enough for every single person wherever they're at in their faith, and here's my commission to you. Go read your Bible. Actually, let's not even say that anymore. Go study your Bible. Open up the book of John. Find the promises of Scripture. Start to piece things together, and if we could just, we can hear an inspiring thing, but if you would go home and discover it for yourself, you would live an inspired life, a victorious life. This is the plan that God had, not just to cleanse our sins, but return authority back to his people, saying, I will build my church. I came into conflict with darkness. You will come into conflict with darkness. I've declared that the kingdom of God has come. You will declare that the kingdom of God has come. I had power to begin to restore the world. You, in your ordinary, everyday lives, can declare that same redemption that God is bringing to the world. I remained humble in suffering. I served even when it was inconvenient. You, too, can remain humbled and submitted to the Lord, even if you suffer.

See, before there was a present-day church, before there was a medieval church, before there was the church in Rome, before there was the disciples, there was a promise that one, like the Son of Man, stood before the ancient of days, and the Bible says, before the foundations of the earth were laid, God appointed Christ Jesus to die for your sins. And he stepped out of humanity, made himself lower than the angels, was brutalized on the cross. They laid him in the grave, and three days later, he stepped out of it. That truth demands a response from you. It demands a response from you. Because either Jesus is the Lord, more than a cultural or a institutional declaration, he is the Lord of all creation. And all of heaven looks to this moment and says, who do you say that the Son of Man is? And I declare he is the Son of God. And let my life declare he is the Son of God. And let your life declare, whether you're an accountant or a preacher or a doctor or a CEO or a part-time worker, who cares about your title? Let your life declare Jesus is Lord. Let your allegiance to him say, you know what? No authority, political, cultural,

or personal outranks Christ in my life. Let your trust declare that Jesus is Lord, that his way of life is the true path to flourishing. Let your worship declare that Jesus is Lord, that God is worthy, not just of my admiration to come and look at him in a weekend service, but he's worthy of my worship. Let your identity declare that Jesus is Lord, that other people look at your life and they know that you've been set apart. Your life is defined by his name, not by your resume, not by your failures, not by your titles. The clear declaration I'm giving you today is that Jesus is Lord and he is worthy of your allegiance. And I believe it demands a response. What will? Who do you say that the Son of Man is? Now listen, I could ramp up the worship team and drop the mic and go, now think about that, see you guys next week. But we're not a church that just wants to pack itself full on holiday weekends and have people be inspired and then say, see you at Christmas. We're a church that is committed to people taking their next steps. Church family, is that not true? Every week, how do you take your next step? What's the next step? What can I do next?

Because I believe if you're here and you're like, Pastor Josh, I get it, but I'm not there yet, how do I get there? You take one step. And if your first step is to walk out the door having done nothing, you will come back next week or next Easter and say, man, my life hasn't changed. Is Jesus really that powerful? But friend, you did nothing. And Jesus gives, the mandate falls on us to take a step. That's why we tell people, if you're a follower of Jesus, you've made him Lord of your life, you've declared Jesus as Lord, get in the waters of baptism, be baptized. It's your first step after salvation. And how will you get to step three, four, five, six, if you don't do step one? And today, if you're here and you're far from Christ or you knew Jesus when you were younger and you've kind of gone your own way, you realize at some point you seize control of your own life, I wanna give you some action that you can take today that will make this Easter service more than just an inspiration, it'll make it a new trend line in your life. And so I'm asking our church family first, will you lead the way, will you help me, will you set the pace for the people around you? And then I wanna ask everybody who's here,

let's all do this together, let's respond together. I do this every Easter, it's the most practical way for me to equip you as a church. And so I'm gonna ask you to do something I've never asked you to do before and I'm gonna ask you to take out your phone. Come on, if the person next to you isn't moving, elbow him. You've wanted to elbow him all morning, just get him. And if you're able, would you hold your phone up to that tap tag in front of you? If you don't have a phone or that feels too technologically advanced for you, like it sometimes does for me, then there's also a response card that's in the seat back in front of you, you can grab that as well. Now listen, we're not gonna spam anybody who fills this card out, but what I do wanna do is anybody who makes a decision to follow Jesus today, I wanna equip you to live out that decision. And so as you open that card, would you begin to take a few moments and fill it out? We've had strong participation in our services up to this point, don't let the trend die with you. And what I really wanna bring you to is the bottom of that card. And honestly, if I was sat in the seat, I would do this every single Easter. I would check A at the bottom of that card and say, I already declare with my life that Jesus is Lord.

It's like a reaffirmation. It's like, Jesus, I confess you again today that you are Lord of my life. That's not a one-time decision, it is a daily decision. To say, Jesus, you are Lord, my allegiance belongs to you. There's an A, B, C, D. If you're here today and you wanna begin a relationship with Jesus or begin again, statistics show that if you act right now on what's in your heart, you're more likely to live it out when you leave the room. Then check B. If you check B today, I'm gonna pray for you and we're gonna send you one thing to help equip you in your next steps in following Christ. If you're here today and you say, Pastor Josh, I'm on a journey. I'm not really sure, I'm considering what you've said. I understand the cost. The Bible says there is a cost of following Christ and it's okay to weigh that cost. Then check C, I'm considering following Jesus. And I want you to know that my hope for you is that you come back next Sunday because this is not just a church for church people. Come on. This is a church for people who are on a journey. This is a church for people who are searching. This is a church for people who don't have it all together yet.

And maybe you're here today and you say, Pastor Josh, I don't know if I ever intend to follow Jesus. Then mark D. And I honestly wanna challenge you to do that because I wanna be able to pray for you. Every year, one of the most rewarding things that happens is three to six months later, we get a message from somebody who says, you know what, at E, I marked that I was a D and today I want you guys to know that I became a B and I started following Jesus. I'm like, that is, praise the Lord. If you're here today and you mark B, here's what the scripture says. In Philippians 2, verse nine, it says, God exalted Jesus to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every other name, that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow in heaven and honor. and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge. The book of Romans says if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. So every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. And so if you're here today and you wanna begin a relationship with Jesus, or you wanna start over, or you wanna begin again, will you join me as we pray? Maybe you've been following Jesus a long time and you just wanna redeclare, God, I give you my allegiance.

Jesus, you are Lord of my life. Let's pray that way together. Father, we surrender our hearts to you right now. We declare that Jesus is the Lord, not just on the earth, but over all creation. You are the ancient one who stood before the ancient one in Daniel seven. You are the son of man who came on the clouds of heaven, and you rescued us out of our sin and our suffering. And on this Easter Sunday, God, I pray for people that this would be a brand new trend line, a brand new trajectory in their life. The day that they didn't just check a box, but they began to be transformed from the inside out. Lord, and it's your work of your Holy Spirit who sanctifies us, who changes us from the inside out. Lord, we lay down our own works, our own strength, our own ability. Some have been striving and striving and striving to try to make God happy. God is already pleased with you. It was the joy of Jesus to take the cross for you. So God, we even surrender our own traditionalism. We surrender our own works. We surrender our own ability, and we just confess with our mouths, Jesus, you are the Lord of my life. God, I believe that you came and you died and you rose again, that you are no longer in the grave, but you are the risen and exalted one

who now has a personal relationship with me. I accept that relationship, God. Now help me know you and see you. God, I pray that as they read your word this week, it would jump off the pages and grab their hearts, and that a few months from now, there would be a transformation that has taken place in their life. There would be a testimony of victory that would come from them. We believe it because when Jesus is in the room, anything is possible. So we declare it all in the name that is above every other name, in the mighty name of Jesus, amen, and amen, and amen.
