started in you God is gonna finish [Music] in you 3:30 this is a wonderful Song speaks about what it must have been like for those women who went to the tomb for Peter and John who ran to the tomb thinking is it possible that Jesus is Alive and risen from the grave just like he said he 3:44 would and that's true today just as much as it was that day and on the basis of that let's just look at the third verse here it says because of that resurrection power of Jesus we are one with the Father the Ancient of Days and through 3:58 the spirit who clothes our faith with certainty you have faith inside and the Holy Spirit is clothing that with certainty so we are raised with him death is dead love has won Christ has conquered we shall reign with him for he 4:15 lives we shall reign with him for he lives and Christ is risen from the dead sing from your heart foreign yes 5:29 again [Laughter] 6:01 foreign [Laughter] longer 6:49 we shall reign with him for he lives and we shall reign with him for he lives 7:13 Christ is risen from the dead this is the gospel Christ is risen he's alive [Music] you know Jesus said in the Book of Mark all things are possible to the one who believes we know that all things are possible to God but it's something else to make it 7:33 personal and say Lord all things are possible to me because I believe in your name because your power is within me let's sing this song of Faith wonderful old hymn by Charles Wesley now it almost sounds arrogant doesn't it all things are 7:46 possible to me but that's what God expects of us that's what he wants us to see and see us sing in faith I want to point out that one word we just sang blaspheme it's a very serious word I don't know how children if you know what 7:57 that word means it blasphemy is to dishonor the name of God to take the name of God in vain but you know that unbelief doubting God's promise is blasphemy that's what we're just saying is to say that God isn't really who he 8:09 said he is but he is he's alive he's omnipotent he's Sovereign he's your father let's sing that verse again Lord I know more thy name blaspheme I lovingly receive thy truth before we sing this third verse I want you to read 8:23 what we're about to sing even though Earth and Hell says that God's word is not true the word of God can never fails the Lord can break the iron power of sin and listen to this line it's certain even though it's impossible it's not 8:40 wonderful it's certain even though it's impossible and the thing that's impossible will be the thing that is impossible will be what is it that you've been trusting the Lord for Spiritual power in your life it seems impossible it shall be because of Christ 8:56 because of his word let's sing this verse now all things that can in Jesus
