Resurrection Power

Today's Scripture

…He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen... Matthew 28:6, NLT.

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

We have a reason to celebrate life every single day because the God we serve is alive. His resurrection power didn’t end on the cross 2000 years ago; His power is still at work today. Not only did He resurrect Jesus from the dead, but He wants to extend His resurrection power into every single area of your life, too.

Maybe you have a dream to get out of debt, pay off your house or be free from a burden of lack, but it looks impossible. Business is slow. The economy is down. You’ve gone as far as your education allows. But God is saying, “I’m not limited by those things. I’ve got resurrection power. I can give you one break that will thrust you to a new level. I can open up doors that no man can shut. I can bring talent out of you that you didn’t know you had. I can cause people to go out of their way to want to be good to you for no reason.”

Today, get your hopes up. Get your expectancy up. Remember, He is risen, and He is alive. There’s a shift coming, and He is faithful to His Word. Let His resurrection power flow in every area of your life!

A Prayer for Today

Father, thank You for Your resurrection power at work in my life. Today, I give You my broken dreams, disappointments, failures and setbacks, and I trust that You will breathe Your life into me. I trust that You have a good plan for my future, and You are leading me into total victory in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Because of this, I get annoyed at pictures depicting Christ on the cross. He was there, but He is not in today. Because of that I am gifted with forgiveness, freedom, life, etc.

The sacrifice was paid. It doesn't have to be continual process. We can be grateful for the gift that was given, but gratitude is an action word.

This sounds sacrilegious, yet it is very true. We like to be the victim and martyr and play he role, but Christ already did it for us.

"Get off the cross, we need the wood." The gift is free for the taking, you don't have to play the role and act out the deed, Christ did it for us, God gave Him to us. He sits at the right hand of God and intercedes for us, He doesn't ask us to pay penance, all He asks of us is to ask in His name.
