THE SPIRIT AND POWER OF RESURRECTION!

Romans 8:10-11 Voice

If the Anointed One lives within you, even though the body is as good as dead because of the effects of sin, the Spirit is infusing you with life now that you are right with God. [11] If the Spirit of the One who resurrected Jesus from the dead lives inside of you, then you can be sure that He who raised Him will cast the light of life into your mortal bodies through the life-giving power of the Spirit residing in you.

 

Resurrection is the act of being raised from the dead. It is used in the Bible in three different ways. First, the word “resurrection” most often refers to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. What happened at Jesus’ resurrection is one of the most difficult concepts to understand in the entire Bible. However, it is very important to understand Jesus’ resurrection because it allowed all people to enter a relationship with God. Resurrection is also used to refer to the miracle of returning someone from the dead back to life on earth.

The Spirit of God dwells permanently in every believer, and His presence determines individual and unique spiritual experiences. As stated in John 14:26:

"But when the Father sends the Comforter instead of me—and by the Comforter I mean the Holy Spirit—He will teach you much, as well as remind you of everything I myself have told you."

The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth according to John 16:13, would reveal more to us than any other spirit. He was sent by the Father in the name of Christ on the day of Pentecost. The Spirit came in Christ’s name in the sense that He came to represent Christ’s interests on earth.

The Spirit that raised Christ from death, the power of resurrection, provides us with hope and assurance of our own resurrection and eternal life. This is emphasized in passages like 1 Thessalonians 4:14 and John 11:25-26.

Jesus Christ’s resurrection is the central point of the Christian religion. Apostle Paul wrote that a Christian religion without the Resurrection would be empty and meaningless, according to 1 Corinthians 15:12-19, because of the Corinthians' denial.

The death, burial, and resurrection of Christ Jesus is the fulfilment of God’s prophecy of the need for a perfect sacrifice without blemish. Unlike the lambs provided for sin offering, Jesus, according to 2 Corinthians 5:21, who knew no sin, became our atoning lamb.

God the Father then gave us His Spirit as a down payment, a sign, and a guarantee of our eternal inheritance, according to Ephesians 1:14. In the meantime, the Holy Spirit is still fully at work in our lives, functioning as everything Christ cannot do here and everywhere at the same time, as He declares in John 16:7.

The power of resurrection is also about transformation. Believers are encouraged to live a new life, transformed by the power of Christ's resurrection, according to Romans 6:4 and Philippians 3:10-11. The third and perhaps the most persuasive evidence for the Resurrection is the disciples’ transformed lives. When Jesus was crucified, they were disillusioned, and most had deserted Him in fear. Peter had denied even knowing Jesus. But after seeing Jesus alive, they changed dramatically; they were fearless and willing to die for the truth they knew. They knew Jesus had risen from the dead. Eyewitness evidence for any historical event is the most reliable. Hundreds of eyewitnesses claimed to have seen Jesus following the Resurrection.

It is the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of resurrection, whose power brought Jesus back to life. The resurrection of Christ is a physical reality because the tomb is empty. The same Spirit gives freedom from bondage. The fact that the Holy Spirit indwells our bodies is God’s guarantee to us, assuring us that, just as He raised Christ from the dead, so He will also give life to our mortal bodies. This will be the final act of our redemption—when our bodies are glorified like the Savior’s body of glory. That means nothing else but the Spirit and power of resurrection can fully revive our bodies, souls, and spirit.

Jesus rose to live forever. Jesus rose as the incorruptible and perfect Son of God. Jesus rose in a significantly different form. When Jesus was resurrected, three significant things happened to Him. He was glorified, He was transfigured (given a different body), and He became spirit. Jesus resurrected and was glorified, as stated in Luke 24:26. His body was transfigured and changed into a glorious one, according to Philippians 3:21. He also became a life-giving spirit, according to 1 Corinthians 15:45.

PRAYER: Lord, I decree that the spirit of resurrection is moving across my home, life, and family, breathing life into every dead area in Jesus’ name, amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
