Revelation Frisco Ben Sanders

Our tongues wield immense power. This seemingly small organ within us holds the ability to shape destinies. It can alter someone's perspective, shift their emotions, or even transform their professional trajectory and public perception. Whether you're in a position of authority or simply engaging in casual conversation, your words carry weight. While the tongue can be a force for good, it can also be a tool of harm, echoing the sentiments of our hearts. 
To ensure our words uplift rather than harm, we must nourish our hearts with positivity and purpose. We must fill them with goodness, giving God something to work with. Always remember: what fills your heart spills from your lips. So, what occupies your heart's space? Is it mere entertainment, like binge-watching shows, or is it a deeper connection with the Divine?
One of the most powerful things we can do is to immerse ourselves in the Word, allowing it to shape our hearts and, in turn, our words. 

As we step into the authority of Jesus Christ and truly embody His character and reputation, our lives transform. His name is no longer misused in our actions; instead, we live to honor Him. We deeply desire His name and reputation in our lives, yearning to embrace His goodness, mercy, and holiness, and seeking the unique freedom that only He provides. We aspire to reflect His character, loving the world as He does, caring genuinely for souls, and walking in both truth and grace. Above all, we want Jesus at the center of our lives and deeply rooted in our souls. Mishandling His name is a path we refuse to take; it's too dangerous! We long to experience the transformative power that only He can provide.

The pursuit of godliness can take various forms, but when it's centered on truly knowing and pursuing God, it becomes a powerful thing!
I echo the prayer: may God cultivate within me a godliness that glorifies Him, one that acknowledges His power manifesting through me. Let God shape us into the kind of godly folks that actually make a difference. Whether we're worshipping, praying, fasting, or just doing our thing out in the world, let's ask for that genuine spiritual fruit to shine through us.

Embracing conformity isn't always the path we're meant to take. The world often pressures us to conform, conform, conform. Yet, when we invite Jesus Christ into our lives, transformation begins. This transformation isn't superficial; it's a profound shift from within. Through the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit, we begin to live with renewed hope and expectation, anchored in the certainty of God's promises.
Understanding that Jesus Christ is not merely a historical figure but God incarnate, crucified, buried, and risen, brings these promises to life. We're no longer driven by aimlessness or unfulfillment; instead, we're infused with genuine love, enduring joy, and abiding peace—a peace that surpasses fleeting happiness. Empowered by the Spirit, we navigate life's challenges with confidence, knowing that we're not alone.
Easter symbolizes this promise of new life and resurrection. It's not just a historical event but a present reality, shaping our lives here and now. So, wherever you are in this moment,  know that because Jesus lives, we can truly live. Let's embrace this truth, allowing it to transform every aspect of our existence.

He didn't merely walk among us; he chose to fully immerse himself in our joys and struggles, intimately acquainted with the depths of human experience. Through his own journey, he developed a profound empathy for our pains. However, his purpose wasn't solely to reflect our existence. We, like wayward sheep, wandered, each on our own path, burdened by the weight of our sins. He endured piercing, wounds, and torment because of our rebellion, bearing the deep grief caused by our transgressions. Since the days of Eden, humanity's disobedience has wounded his heart deeply. Yet, his mission went beyond mere presence; he came to lavish us with love. His ultimate aim was to unveil the boundless love of God, a love that persists despite our waywardness.

God descended to assume our likeness, to dwell as we do, to experience our trials, and to bear our sins. When we behold ourselves upon that cross, a profound, inexplicable connection occurs—a supernatural communion. It's a profound mystery, yet it's unveiled to us. As we witness ourselves there, alongside our sins, we are united with Him in that moment. While He existed, so did we. The blameless one carried our burdens of sin and disgrace upon Himself, while His righteousness enveloped us.
