The anointing of resurrection
Easter Sunday is known as the day of resurrection, a day when death and evil were overcome by Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. Some find a way to show up in church at least once a year, and Easter is usually that day. But what Jesus did for us is far more than just a holiday to commemorate an event in history. It's a never-ending victory for each of us who choose to take a hold of that resurrection power that began to flow 2000 years ago.
But death still claims marriages, families, relationships, finances, emotional and physical health. You may be one of the walking dead on this earth; physically alive, but slowly dying as your life unravels around you. Jesus victory on the cross was meant for you, to bring back to life all that seems dead.
This Sunday, April 24, blessed oil from the Holy Land will be used to anoint everyone who attends the Easter services. The anointing with oil symbolizes the presence of Holy Spirit, and the victory that Jesus purchased for you on the cross. We will pray for the resurrection of your marriage, your family, finances, health and any other area where you need God's life to grow.
