Jesus is RISEN

Jesus Christ the Son of God is RISEN! The chains of death could not keep Jesus from life.

 

After the Lord’s Resurrection He journeyed with two unaware Disciples who discussed the Ministry of Jesus before Crucifixion as Jesus expounded the Scriptures. Jesus and the two Disciples stopped to break bread at which moment the Lord revealed His identity. The two ran to the Eleven Apostles to share what they witnessed. The Apostles revealed this in Luke 24: 34-35 (NKJV):

 

³⁴ saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!” ³⁵ And they told about the things that had happened on the road, and how He was ^[a]known to them in the breaking of bread.

You should read the entire Luke 24 Resurrection Chapter, it will bless you especially if you BELIEVE.

 

In case you are on the fence between belief and unbelief. There is a Scriptural road of Confession that leads to Salvation in the Risen Savior. Some call it the Roman Road:

 

Romans 10: 6-13 NKJV

 

⁶ But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) ⁷ or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). ⁸ But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): ⁹ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. ¹¹ For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” ¹² For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. ¹³ For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” [Blog Editor Bold Text Emphasis toward SALVATION]

 

The Roman Road to Salvation made easy:

 

o   Confess Jesus as Your Lord.

 

o   Believe Jesus is RISEN and alive.

 

o   WHOEVER Calls on the NAME OF JESUS IS SAVED!

 

Here are a couple of Resurrection Gospel Songs that were extremely moving to me in my early days of Salvation. I pray they inspire you as well.

God Will Meet You Where Your Faith Is

John R. Houk, Blog Editor

© December 12, 2025

I’m one of those Word of Faith adherents condemned by so many mainline Christians. Many Word of Faith critics claim the movement takes Scripture out of context yet fail to actually and validly show anything out of context other than some Word of Faith Preachers or Teachers exploiting the message for personal gain. AND YES personal gain exploitation is wicked and such should be exposed. When a Preacher or Teacher expounds the Word of God to help the listener line up with the Word of God – THAT IS GOOD! When a Preacher or Teacher uses the Word of God to increase donations – THAT IS EVIL!

 

I did a search in an attempt for the reader explore a brief explanation of the beliefs of the Word of Faith. A majority of what I found went from harsh claiming heresy to less harsh of unbiblical. ALL with no citations from the Bible but warped criticism of Word of Faith founders highlighting teachings that many twisted to fall into failure. After a quick search the best even information site was FreeDailyDevotional.com showing core beliefs with some neutral criticism.

 

My entire Born Again experience of Redemption by the Risen Savior Jesus Christ happened in 1978 largely due to the Word of Faith movement.

 

The critics of the Word of Faith seem to emphasize the prosperity message that is only a part of that movement. An to be honest, Word of Faith prosperity has been probably the most abused from its original Scriptural intent by both Preachers who exploited the message to guilt contributions and Lay Believers using the idiocy of name-it and claim-it to twist Scripture into man’s will rather than lining up with God’s Will in His Word. Whenever man’s will is emphasized, failure is sure to follow.

 

In my case, when I rely of God’s Word correctly, God has met my needs according to his riches in Glory by Christ Jesus. Most of the time those needs have been met in the nick of time. I have not achieved material wealthy place-of-riches in my needs being met. But that is probably more in a lack of Scriptural discipline on my part and not the fault of the windows of Heaven pouring down material wealth on my family. I’ve made plenty of bad financial decisions over time to realize God’s Mercy happens more than God’s plan of abundance.

 

The place the Word of Faith emphasis on the Bible has been most significant for me has been leading to me to Scriptures on healing and health. I cannot explain why I have not experienced a complete supernatural healing in some physical areas. My suspicion again is a lack of Scriptural discipline.

 

For example I’m a diagnosed diabetic. I got to that point largely on bad dietary decisions. That is a lack of discipline. HOWEVER, a few years ago (2021), I was in a car pile-up that fractured my spine. I believe the healing process moved rapidly because I trust the ALMIGHTY. I relied on 1 Peter 2:23-24 (NKJV):

 

²³ who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; ²⁴ who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose ^[a]stripes you were healed.

a. 1 Peter 2:24 wounds

 

In early November I went in for a checkup with my Primary Physician. I pointed out a large bump bottom left from my eye. My Doctor was concerned and suspected a form of skin cancer and proceeded to make a same-day appointment with a Dermatologist.

 

I learned from the Dermatologist the bump was some kind of carcinoma cancer. At the time I was stunned enough to not pay attention to the kind of carcinoma I was diagnosed with. So later I looked it up under the kind of surgery I was scheduled to undertake.

 

I discovered there are two kinds: basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. From the Online photo examples I suspect my form was basal cell carcinoma. I never asked. I just wanted it gone. The Mohs Surgery I was scheduled to undertake is used for both kinds of carcinoma.

 

The Mohs Surgery was undertaken on 12/11/25. It went well and was pronounced skin cancer free.

 

I believe that entire process leading to a good report was a level of faith receiving a cancer-free healing. Why didn’t God just supernaturally touch my face and boom – all is well. My only answer is God met me where my faith is. I refuse to belittle the ALMIGHTY and rather thank HIM I am healed by the Resurrection of HIS Son Jesus Christ.
