On this Resurrection Sunday service, Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers on the transformative power of Jesus Christ’s victory over death. The Apostle highlights that resurrection power grants believers authority over sin, fear, and emotional instability, urging the congregation to serve God with sincerity and sweetness rather than a "sour" disposition. Central to the message is the necessity of enduring life's trials and maintaining holiness, as she argues that true faith requires a refined, disciplined lifestyle rather than shortcuts. The message underscores that Jesus remains an ever-present source of strength who empowers his followers to perform miracles, cast out demons, and spread the gospel. Ultimately, it serves as a call to action for Christians to recommit to their divine purpose and reflect the light of Christ in every aspect of their lives.

Key Points:

Christians are expected to adhere to a lifestyle characterized by active service, holiness, and a consistent, joyful disposition. These behavioral expectations are not merely suggestions but are essential for anyone claiming to be a child of God.

The following are specific behavioral expectations detailed in the message:

• Serving in Spirit and Truth: Believers must honor and serve God "in spirit and in truth 100%",. This involves making a conscious choice to serve Him rather than living for a "rebel kingdom" or trying to serve two masters,.
• Active Participation: Resurrection power is not meant for believers to "sit and cross your leg". Instead, they are expected to be "workers" who are "radical" for the faith, "tearing down strongholds" and "snatching people" out of the fires of hell through evangelism.
• Consistent Praise: A believer should usher praise into the atmosphere regardless of their physical or emotional state, whether they are in pain, not feeling "a hundred percent".

• Emotional Maturity and Joy: Believers are expected to have authority over their mood swings. They should not be "sour like lemon" but should be "sweet," keeping the joy of the Lord alive as their strength,.
• Holiness and Integrity: One must "command your body to be holy" and avoid "playing church". This includes living a clean life rather than just telling "Jesus stories" without the lifestyle to back them up,.
• Avoiding Worldly Vices: Specific behavioral changes include stopping gambling (such as playing the lotto) and following God’s instructions as the "master builder".

• Studying the Word: Believers have a duty to study the word of God and "follow through" by reading different versions and playing the Bible on their devices,.
• Embracing Trials: Believers should not seek shortcuts. They must be prepared to go through the "refiner's fire"and view trials and tests as opportunities to showcase God's strength and faithfulness.
• Contending for the Faith: Like the Apostle Peter, believers must "press and contend" for their faith, refusing to remain in a state of failure or rebellion.

• Consistency Across Environments: A follower of Christ is expected to shine everywhere; at school, at work, and at home. Their outward behavior, such as the music they listen to in their vehicle, should reflect their faith.
• Fulfilling the Great Commission: Believers are commanded to go into the world, preach the gospel, and make disciples. They are expected to operate in the power of the Holy Spirit to cast out devils, speak with new tongues, and lay hands on the sick to see them recover.
• Honoring God First: Especially during significant times like Easter, the primary expectation is to honor, reflect on, and celebrate Jesus rather than focusing solely on secular activities.
