Resurrection Intercession

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

“Resurrection means Jesus' love conquers all. We are conquerors. This will not defeat us. Reminds me of my team — the Toronto Raptors — last year. Oh — what an amazing victory. They won despite all odds. This is the thing that we need to think of. Nothing on this planet will stop us from winning. Jesus wins in the end. We have the hope of victory — because we've seen death defeated. All obstacles — neither life nor death. COVID can do its worst. It's not going to stop Jesus' love. The angels and demons — evil beings bent for your destruction. They're not going to separate you from Jesus' love. … Nor can any imagined post-apocalyptic future. The real future is the one of bliss with Jesus. It's a world renewed with God. … No powers. Government powers can't defeat you. Socially powerful people can't separate you from Jesus. Laws — and lack of laws — both. They cannot separate you from Jesus.”
