The Power Is In You

“And if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, [then] He Who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also restore to life your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies through His Spirit Who dwells in you.” Our bodies are dying daily but our newly recreated human spirits are being renewed day by day (2 Corinthians 4:16). God has promised to revive these death doomed bodies of ours. As long as His Holy Spirit (the power) dwells in you, and this happens at the new birth experience (when you became a christian), our spirits are alive to God, and our spirits can and do affect our bodies. As we become more sensitive to our human spirit, we become more led by the Lord. Jesus lives in the born again hearts of His saints, and His resurrection power is there to assist us in life. The Spirit that raised Christ from the dead abides in us christians. Let that sink in for a moment. Imagine that same power’s ability operating in you to help navigate through the heavy storms of our personal lives. It is available as we submit to the way of the Kingdom of God. You are in God’s army now. We must learn how to stand our ground in this messed up world. God has supplied all we need to live a set apart victorious lifestyle with all kinds of benefits for success. If you’re connected to the Lord, you’re connected to power that will cause your enemies to flee in terror (James 4:7). Learning how to draw that power out at will, comes in time.
