The Rolling Stone“Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. And they said among themselves, ‘Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?’ But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away — for it was very large.” (Matthew 16:2-4) The Rolling Stones may be the world’s greatest rock band, but neither they nor Jim Morrison of The Doors could roll the stone away from door of the tomb of Jesus on resurrection morning of the third day. On Easter, it’s high time for us to stop looking for the living among the dead like Keith Richards, to stop wandering in the graveyard shift of sin, sickness, poverty, oppression and failure and to step into glorious resurrection life. As a resurrected creature who is born again by the Holy Spirit of God, we’re no accident waiting to happen, and our life isn’t just a tangled web of events and circumstances because God Almighty has big plans for us. Mick Jagger may have been knighted by the Queen of England, but God intends for some of us to have the greatest TV, internet, deliverance, prayer and healing ministry in the 21st century. Robert Duvall may have been The Apostle, but God wants a few of us to be an anointed prophet, a powerful evangelist, a brilliant teacher or a tremendous preacher, and He has tons of prosperity and revelations that will enable many of us to bless the whole world, and we’ll never know what God has for us until we put our complete trust and undivided attention on Him as we meditate on His Word. The Rolling Stones build Bridges to Babylon with its many licks, and that’s why the devil works overtime to keep us focused on rock n’ roll and the problems of life, to keep our attention away from the living Word of God. Nick Nolte is The Good Thief, but the devil is a thief who doesn’t want us to know we’re full of the resurrection life of Jesus because it scares the Living Daylights out of him even more than James Bond. Because once we truly understand that we have the zoe life of God inside us, we’ll begin to act just like Jesus did. We’ll raise the dead and change water into wine. We’ll lay hands on the sick, the lame and the blind and they’ll be whole. We’ll cast out more demons than The Exorcist, and we’ll preach the gospel of salvation to every creature. We’ll be just what God intended for us to be, the Body of Christ on earth, doing even greater works than Jesus did. Don’t let that loser the devil bind us with duct tape and The Mummy clothes of sin, death, defeat, and destruction. We’re not dead anymore because we’ve been raised into glory with Jesus. This is our year of victory and year of the harvest, so come out from Tombstone and start living resurrection life In Living Color, start living the abundant God kind of life where it is God who’ll Start us Up and give us Satisfaction.Copyright © 2003 Eddy Ministries.
