Jesus said in John 14:19, “Because I live, you will live also.”  

• Resurrection life is one of the anthems we celebrate and teach
• Resurrection life is the theme

The Holy Spirit has repeated this revelation in my spirit since the very beginning of my salvation experience. I have served God for 42 years, and been in full time ministry for 33 years.  “Because He lives, I shall live also” has been an anchor and hidden strength in the face of the enemy. It has been this revelation that has kept me through every season.

• You cannot kill God.
• You cannot kill a God ordained heaven sent calling.
• You cannot kill the Holy Spirit inside of me.
• He is invincible. He is brilliant. He is in me! I am alive.

This revelation could be shouted from the rooftops. Yet so often the Holy Spirit simply whispers it in the secret place of my spirit and says, “You’re alive aren’t you?”  

• He whispers this to me when I’ve endured the deep waters of trials.
• When I’ve faced the fierce attacks of the enemy.  

It’s sometimes similar to the commentary about Joseph in Genesis 45:26 “Joseph is still alive.”

• Yes! Joseph was still alive!
• Yes! I am still alive!
• Yes! You are still alive!

Because He lives, you shall also!
