Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky, and came and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men. The angel answered the women, "Don't be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying. Matthew 28:2-6 WEB.
Ever since Adam and Eve disobeyed God's command in the Garden of Eden, mankind had been bound in sin with no way out. They decided they knew what was best and that maybe God was holding something back from them. Keeping the best for Himself. The knowledge of good and evil was something they thought they really needed and wanted. It was the forbidden fruit. Too bad it was poisonous, and they both died from it later.
Their sinful, rebellious nature created a rift in their relationship with God. Then it was passed down through the generations and was only broken when Mary conceived a child by the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ went on to live a perfect, sinless life as a man. Just as one imperfect man created the rift, one Perfect Man healed it. It all changed on the third day when Jesus Christ walked out of the tomb alive. The power of sin was broken, and if satan had known what was coming that day, they would have never crucified Jesus (1 Corinthians 2:8).
Jesus Christ met all of God's requirements. He lived a perfect life without sin and then laid His life down for us at the cross. Through His sacrifice, mankind was restored to a right relationship with God. The veil in the temple was torn open, making way for us to come into the Holy of Holies. Now all are welcome.
Stop looking down on yourself, and look to Jesus, who paid the price. He knows your name. Don't set your value by what anyone on Earth thinks of you. Jesus gave His life to set you free. The price of that is immeasurable, and He would have done it just for you. Everything changed on the third day when Jesus walked out of the tomb.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem us. Please teach me the things I need to know and let me see the world through Your eyes. Walk with me and talk with me this day. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

Amen. Thank you Jesus for the power of prayer. I have been very sick last 5+ weeks.. virus turned into pneumonia. Been house bound except quick trip to nearby store. Nothing I did helped. So worn out couldn’t hardly function. It felt like I was dying. I couldn’t do my daily studies or pray very good or long. Basically living in my recliner waiting to see if I died. I couldn’t take care of myself …but praise God. My wife who has neglected me and acted like she hated me. But prayers answered. God has changed her past year and she stepped up and a great wife to me because of Jesus. She hardly gets angry these days. PTL. Took so much out of me..One day about two weeks ago, in my low… I felt the Lord prompt me to write a heartfelt post to my family and friends. Talking about Jesus and heaven, repenting and salvation to family who isn’t saved. Things in me but I have t been a very good witness for Jesus to my family. Only a couple of them responded.. but it’s ok. Gods word doesn’t come back void. I stand on that scripture. My little sister called and said my message sounded like my epitaph..I went back and read it and yes it did. Have total peace about why I wrote. I have t been able to heard from God very well in a long time even though drawing closer to Him but seems like nothing I prayed or did helped me. Felt like God was done w me and iv been sitting here waiting to die. Been a hard life esp past 5 years living w angry wife who has acted like she hated me. We both finally found a Apolostic church where you feel, see God moving thru people including us. Thank you church for praying for us past year. Iv seen Him change Vera and myself…revealing sin in my life. My sins separated me from God. We have stood on His word, went to church regularly until this sickness and pain we both suffer from. Iv barely been able to study and pray short prayers past month. Even my faith lacked. Haven’t backslidden just so tired of living in pain 24-7. I doubted my salvation due to that scripture of once tasted Jesus and backsides bible says God gave some over to a debauched mind. Thought he gave me over to it as I look back on my life’s sins. But God is faithful. Power of prayer works. I’m closer to the Lord than in a long time. This message to family was absolutely from Jesus.
I’m so ready to be w Jesus. But want to live long enough to see my family saved. If I died now my epitaph is written praise the Lord. Thank you Jesus. I woke up today and think I turned the corner here and started getting over this sickness.
Praise God. His mercies are new every morning. I stand on His Word…by His stripes I am healed. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. If we confess our sins He will forgive us. His grace is sufficient for me unto death. I love you Jesus.

Thank you Heavenly Father for sending your Son, Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who died on the Cross that I might have eternal life in Heaven. I believe with my whole heart and soul that Jesus Christ is your Son, and is Alive in Heaven right now, this very moment. Alive so very alive in Heaven right now, than He ever was when He walked this earth in the body of a mortal man! ❤️🙏

So glad to hear that you are doing better now David!! Praise the Lord Jesus! He is always with you and will never leave you or forsake you, but sometimes he allows trials and difficulties. when we stay steadfast and keep praying and worshiping He will reward us and lift us up. It sounds like you are at the end of this trial and things will be getting better and even your mariage sounds like it is getting better. Dont give up keep praying for your wife, your marriage and your whole family. God is always faithful but its in His own timing. God bless you David!!
