Christ is risen!

In this powerful teaching, we explore a crucial spiritual law: God gives spiritual gifts to those who are prepared. Drawing from the example of the Ointment-Bearing Women, we learn what it means to truly center our lives on Christ and create space in our souls for divine grace.

Why do some people grow rapidly in the spiritual life while others struggle? The answer lies in preparation, sacrifice, and attention to God.

This sermon dives deep into:

The importance of spiritual focus and devotion
How the Ointment-Bearing Women reveal the path to holiness
The forgotten discipline of Wednesday and Friday fasting
How fasting creates space for God’s grace
The connection between hunger, sacrifice, and spiritual growth
Entering spiritual warfare to purify the heart

We also uncover a hard truth: many have abandoned fasting and, with it, the very means by which God strengthens the soul.

If you want to grow in faith, receive spiritual gifts, and deepen your relationship with Christ—this message is for you.

👉 Try this: Fast strictly on Wednesday and Friday. Remove distractions. Choose God. Watch what happens to your soul.

“The Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” (Matthew 11:12)
