Hey Starise, I will have dinner with family. I live alone so used to eating alone. That’s what makes Easter different for me.

As with Christmas, it is a special Day selected set apart and aside for remembrance, praise and thanksgiving. Israel and the Jews were given special feasts, ordinances, and days to observe and remember forever. 

If there were no resurrection, everything would be in vain. Our blessed hope all hinges that Jesus in fact did raise from the dead on the third day. Everyday should be celebrated as Easter, but as the Jews have specific days to remember and celebrate, I suppose our Lord would not object to a man-made tradition picking a day remembering and celebrating His risen Son and our Lord and Savior.

Every day is a special day and I'll touch upon the reason why, @Starise. I know our sister @kwikphilly will understand why every day is holy to me. 

I was a dead man, brother. My time on this earth was at an end and over the course of many years, I had forgotten the promise of the Lord which He spoke on that day when He first called me. He will walk with me, and I will walk with Him; He shall dwell with me, and I shall dwell with Him. All I had known in this life was fleeting, having to leave not long after I arrived in any given place, passing like the breeze on a summer's day. That changed when the Lord claimed me as His own: I am not a stranger in His house and while I go here and there on this earth, I never have to depart from His presence. Ever.

When Christ restored me to the land of the living, He reminded me of the promise I had forgotten through the trial and no small measure of tribulation. Had I convinced myself that the Lord abandoned me in the shadow of death? Yes, I did. Ah, but He proved me wrong!

This is why every day is special as well as holy in the Lord. God was well-pleased to grant me this opportunity to walk in His promise before I pass from this world. :)

Nothing particularly different for us. Maybe just a more special meal together as family.

I think it's interesting to see the different ways people see the day. Many people probably are not at liberty to change what they do. Maybe they are working some sort of job that requires a normal day at work. Apparently my workplace doesn't acknowledge Easter or Good Friday but I was not required to work. 

Traditionally Easter was a special day at church with everyone stepping up their dress. In my church now some people dress up and others don't. "Dressing up" at my church does not require a tie. We men in the choir had agreed beforehand to wear a light pastel colored shirt, dress slacks and a blazer. Normally the choir sings in the back up high in the overhead seating where the organ is. Today they had us up front on risers. I think most churches do something different on Easter. I could be wrong. A few of the songs the praise team did were supposed to be modernized versions of older hymns. I personally didn't think it flowed very well.

In the past lunch at nanny's house after church was the thing to do. Grandma held everything together then, though at that time I didn't realize it. Now it's up to me to hold a gathering if one is held. This year we didn't and instead were invited by friends at church to come over for a meal. This isn't usually typical. If the Lord leads, I think it's a great way to pass an afternoon in fellowship over a meal if the conversation is kept on the good side and away from gossip.

As a believer, I continually try to remind myself of the tremendous sacrifice Christ made in our behalf and His resurrection as the forerunner to our eventual resurrection to life in Him, so for me Easter doesn't differ that way. I try to make everyday a reflection of Him and what He did on the cross.

I think it's ironic people are going to big Easter buffets here in the US or going to meals with others at their homes, like it's a huge celebration. The resurrection certainly is that. Only God knows a man's heart. It's hard for me to separate the resurrection from the crucifixion. I don't think we can really, can we?

 For me eating a  meal is bittersweet if  I think of a man who was whipped wearing a crown of thorns with large steel nails driven through His hands and feet. What it TOOK to make our celebrations all possible is not something most care to consider when we are asking someone to 'please pass the potatoes and the ham'.

For non Christians, it might as well be Martin Luther King day. Jesus was just a famous guy all of those hypocrite Christians get all dressed up for once a year.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
