Easter Sunday Message: The Grave Could Not Hold Jesus Down Acts 2: 23-24
The power of death could not hold Jesus; He rose again on the third day. Nothing is too difficult for God. (Luke 1:37, Philippians 2:9-11)

Purpose of this message:
Resurrection Sunday is a powerful reminder of God’s power for you and I. Where do you need the power of God? It is a day of hope, miracles, healing and restoration (Psalms 118:24).
This power is made available to you. (Ephesians 1:19-20).
The woman with the issue of blood, healed by touching the hem of Jesus’ garment, is an illustration of this power. She had spent everything on getting better but had nothing changed. The woman made a breakthrough decision in going to touch the garment of Jesus; a faith filled decision. (Mark 5: 25-29)

The woman had 4 conditions that crippled her life completely, needing the power of God for a new beginning.
1. She was hopeless.
Jesus is the God hope. There is no such thing as hopelessness in Jesus ( John 14:6, Romans 9:33, John 1:12, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Isaiah 43: 18-19, Romans 5:5, Jeremiah 29:11)

2. She was hurting.
Jesus is a God of healing (Isaiah 53:5, Jeremiah 33:6, 3 John 2, Psalms 107:20, John 1:1, Act 2:24)
3. She was haunted by the fear of death
Jesus came and gave us a covenant of freedom (John 8:32, 36, 2 Corinthians 3:17, Revelation 12:11, 2 Timothy 1:7)

4. She was hindered from moving forward
There is no limitation in Jesus; the miracle of breakthrough. Your miracle is as far as your faith is today. Your faith has the ability to go where your prayer cannot go. (Ephesians 3:20, Mark 10:27, Mark 9:23)

The day of resurrection: It is a day of hope, miracles, restoration, healing and new beginnings.
