I Will Rise Again

Numbers 10:35
So it was, whenever the ark set out, that Moses said:
“Rise up, O Lord!
Let Your enemies be scattered,
And let those who hate You flee before You.”

Psalms 119:62
At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You,
Because of Your righteous judgments.

Proverbs 24:16
For a righteous man may fall seven times
And rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity.

Matthew 20:19
and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again.”

Life is a journey that takes us many places and causes us to see many things.

It is without doubt a certainty that you will get hurt, get mad, be knocked down a couple of times at least.  This issue is NOT if but “when and “then what”.

There are many things to do in life.  Sports like:
Football
Hockey
Baseball
Soccer
Golf

Movies and movie theatres you could spend all day in.
Shopping
Holidays

Social Media
Facebook
Twitter
Internet surfing

Work and more work.
Household projects.

Parties
Alcohol
Drugs
Sex

And WHEN life knocks us down it wants us to stay down so we often DIVE deeper into some of these things to keep us DOWN!

What do you do when you have been knocked down or what advice do you give someone that is down?

Do you tell them to RUN?
Tone down your faith?
Stay down?

Yes there are times you feel like throwing in the towel and giving up.

O’ but I’m here to remind you that in the midst of every storm, even if you suffer for doing good, God is there whispering, RISE AGAIN.  GET UP!

Romans 8:11
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Yours for revival,
Pastor Francis Armstrong
