This morning, I speak directly to you like we are standing together in the sanctuary. No performance. No entertainment. Just faith that gets loud in the spirit and practical in the real world. Because Resurrection power is not a religious concept. It is authority. And it is meant to be released.
If you have ever felt like your hopes are buried, your destiny is delayed, and your faith is under attack, I am here to remind you of the central truth: Jesus Christ rose. And every time we call His name, dead things have to respond.
Today is Resurrection Monday. A day that confronts what looks dead, and commands it to come alive.
Calling the Name That Silences Roaring Waves and Empties the Grave
There is a name that “can silence roaring waves.” There is a name that “can empty out a grave.” There is a name that saves. And that name is Jesus.
That matters because resurrection is not only something that happened “back then.” It is something that has a pattern. The pattern is this: the grave cannot keep what belongs to the King.
So I want you to hear me, and I want you to say it out loud if you can: Dead things come alive.
Dead fear dies. Dead resistance dies. Dead dreams die and rise again. Dead hopes that got buried under pressure, you do not stay buried. You rise.
Sometimes people use stories like they’re reasons not to believe. Maybe you have a 97-year-old relative in hospice care. Maybe you have prayed and it seems like nothing changes. I am not here to argue with your pain. I am here to remind you that God can do anything. Sometimes what looks like “the end” is actually God bringing someone home.
But there is also another truth operating in the same atmosphere: a King who has dominion over death holds keys. He has nail-scarred hands. He is the heel that crushed the serpent’s head. And He teaches His people to do what He did.
Step Forward: Boldness to Walk Into the Unknown
One of the most repeated instructions in Scripture is not only “believe,” but “step.” Faith is not only agreement. Faith is movement.
So I release this word over you: the spirit of Joshua and Caleb, boldness and courageousness, to step out into the great unknown.
You might not know exactly what it looks like. Neither did anyone else. The point is that you take the next step. One foot in front of the other. And the “finish line” becomes clearer as obedience unfolds.
Resurrection power does not only resurrect bodies. It resurrects assignments. It resurrects callings. It resurrects dreams that got delayed by fear.
Jerusalem, Prayer, and Repentance for Antisemitism
We also lifted up Israel this morning, and we did it with repentance, not just rhetoric.
We prayed for Jerusalem. We asked God to repent for and expose hatred and antisemitism. We recognized that the spirit of Jew hatred is not “just an opinion.” It is rooted in darkness and must be confronted in the light.
We declared prayers for the freedom of the Iranian people, and for the fall of corrupt regimes. We prayed for peace to fall on Jerusalem and for protection and resilience for soldiers, including the IDF.
And we asked God for wisdom and discernment in leadership. Not to idolize any politician, but to request heavenly clarity over human decisions.
Most importantly, we grounded these prayers in God’s covenant faithfulness. The point is not that Israel “deserves help.” The point is that God said He would be the Lord of Israel. Even when they did not know Him, He named them. And because of that, we asked for cleansing, pardon, and restoration.
50 Days of Omer: Remembering the Ten Commandments
There is also spiritual timing in what we do. Right now we are in the 50 days counting down the Omer, the period between Pentecost and Shavuot. Shavuot remembers Moses coming down with the tablets, and it also aligns with Pentecost because both are 50 days out.
So we returned to the foundation. Not because law replaces grace, but because God’s character does not change.
We reminded ourselves of the Ten Commandments:
- No other gods before the Lord
- No graven images or idols
- Do not take God’s name in vain
- Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy
- Honor father and mother
- Do not murder
- Do not commit adultery
- Do not steal
- Do not bear false witness
- Do not covet
We declared that Jesus did not abolish the law. He fulfilled it.
Courts of Heaven: A Gift of Verdicts You Must Receive
This is one of the key frameworks for what happened next: we entered the courts of heaven.
And here is the important part that you need to grab hold of. This was not described as entertainment. It was described as active participation.
You come into agreement. You receive like you would receive a real gift.
If someone gives you a birthday present or a Christmas gift, you do not pretend it did not matter. You receive it. Otherwise it stays in the house of the giver, not on your hands. The same is true with verdicts coming out of heaven.
So we came with reverence and awe, praising the righteous judge who never sleeps. We prayed that demonic interference would fail, that distraction and anxiety would be laid down at the foot of the cross, and that fear would not get a seat in the room.
Then the declarations began like legal language: the charge against the accuser.
Charge One: Stealing Worship and Redirecting Glory
We asked for full restoration because worship had been stolen and praise had been siphoned away from the throne.
We asked God to expose spirits that seduce hearts into exalting men, idols, systems, and self-elevation. In our own lives, we confessed that distraction had diluted devotion. Fear had stifled praise. Comfort had silenced songs.
And then we recovered what belonged to God. We declared that no demon would siphon worship, no principality would sit on the throne of our hearts, and no system would compete for God’s glory.
We prayed for incense to rise again. Not polluted, programmed, or performed. But pure, prophetic, and holy.
Charge Two: Blinding the Minds of Unbelievers
Then we addressed blindness itself. We confronted the idea that “the god of this world has blinded them” and we contended for their vision and our vision.
We even used a vivid personal example to underline spiritual clarity. When someone’s vision is disrupted naturally, life becomes distorted. But when vision is restored, the person sees far and near with clarity again.
Spiritually, the call was to repair and restore vision in those places where it was stolen. We asked for the eyes of hearts to open. We asked to be like the sons of Issachar: understanding signs, seeing times, knowing what to do.
The prayer became urgent. Not polite. Not passive. It became “holy violence,” because the kingdom advances by force in a spiritual sense. Not by tantrums, but by spiritual authority.
We named veils, deception, spiritual apathy, complacency, cultural compromise, new age seduction, intellectual arrogance, and unbelief. We asked God to tear the veil and flood people with gospel light.
And we declared that Satan loses his hold.
War on Fear: Subpoena Every Shadow of Dread
Another charge came next: using fear to enslave.
We declared a legal case against fear, calling it out as demonic manipulation and a counterfeit taskmaster with no legal authority.
Fear was named in categories:
- Fear of failure
- Fear of man
- Fear of lack
- Fear of rejection
- Fear of sickness
- Fear of the unknown
- Fear of the future
- Fear of the Lord
- Fear of exposure
- Fear of being alone
- Fear of missing out
Then came the shift: in place of fear, we received boldness. Courage. Fearlessness as a default posture.
We declared we are no longer slaves. We are sons and daughters of the One who sets free.
And we encouraged your voice to rise with it. Speak this with me in your own words: I walk in joy. I walk in freedom. I walk in supernatural courage.
Vindication and Justice: The Saints Possess the Kingdom
Finally, we brought a larger case before heaven: perverting justice against the states. Overlooked believers. Falsely accused people. Delayed promotions. Stolen favor. Verdicts stamped by the enemy.
We declared reversal. We prayed for boomerang justice: what was meant to harm would turn back. We asked for restitution, rectification, and honor restored.
We used biblical courtroom imagery: Haman and Mordecai, gallows built for the righteous, and traps that spring on the wrong side.
We asked God to make verdicts turn: denied becomes approved, disqualified becomes appointed, too late becomes on time, not enough becomes overflow.
This was not framed as wishing. It was framed as ruling with spiritual authority, as a priesthood and a remnant that legislates under the King.
Active Engagement: Receive the Verdicts
If there is one takeaway you should not miss, it is this: do not just listen.
Engage. Receive. Speak agreement. Like a gift that must be received into your hands, these verdicts must be personally received.
Closing Encouragement: The Court Is Adjourned in Victory
At the end, we sealed everything with the conviction that heaven is in session and final word has been spoken. We rejoiced that Satan had no legal ground. We declared cases dismissed “with prejudice,” meaning the enemy cannot reopen them.
And we walked out robed in righteousness, crowned with favor, carrying keys of authority and scrolls of fulfillment.
If you are reading this and you feel pressure, let this be your reminder: you are not begging for victory. You are blessing the One who gave it. You are praising the Judge who rendered it.
Blessings, Howard Olsen
