You can say anything you want to say.\u2019 Thomas saw and touched the living Jesus and this same Thomas died in India; he was impaled. Thomas was told to deny Christ, he refused saying, \u2018I cannot deny the One I have seen and touched. Thomas did not deny Jesus because he experienced the resurrected Christ. I pray that you will experience the living Christ in the Name of Jesus, because Jesus is alive! I want you to proclaim it out loud that Jesus is alive! Jesus is alive and well. To get up, to arise and shine and be all that God has called you to be, you must know the living Jesus, that Jesus Christ is alive. Again, I pray that you will indeed know Him and experience the power of His resurrection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Secondly, to get up, to arise and shine and be all that God has called you to be, you must know that Jesus is King, the King Jesus. <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.bible.com\/en-GB\/bible\/116\/PHP.2.8-11\">Phil.2:<sup>8-11<\/sup><b><sup>\u00a0<\/sup><\/b><\/a>\u201c<i>he humbled himself in obedience to God\u00a0and died a criminal\u2019s death on a cross.

This portion of scripture describes everything that happened at good Friday and highlights the fact that Jesus\u2019 jurisdiction knows no bounds. For you to come into resurrection power, you must know that Jesus Christ is King.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.bible.com\/en-GB\/bible\/111\/REV.17.14\">Rev.17:<sup>14<\/sup><\/a><b><sup>\u00a0<\/sup><\/b>\u201c<i>They will wage war\u00a0against the Lamb, <\/i><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>but the Lamb will triumph over\u00a0them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings<\/i><\/b><\/span><i>\u2014and with him will be his called, chosen\u00a0and faithful followers<\/i>.\u201d (NIV, emphasis added). Before this, the ten kings that came into power (how be it briefly), pulled all their forces together and joined forces with the Antichrist to wage war against the Lamb. However, scripture states that \u201c\u2026<span class=\"s1\"><b><i>the Lamb will triumph over\u00a0them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings<\/i><\/b><\/span>\u2026\u201d All the kings of the earth can join their hands together, but they will fail when they come against Jesus because He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. I pray that every force that joins hands together in your life, every force that gathers against you and against your destiny will fail in the Name of Jesus. Why? It is because Jesus is King of kings and Jesus is Lord of lords. It is such an awesome privilege to be called by His Name. I want you to say it aloud wherever you are, say \u2018Jesus is King!\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Prayer<\/b> [song]: You are the King of kings, Lord of lords, everlasting King.
