April 18, 2011 ~ The Same Spirit

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

"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"

Romans 8:11

TODAY'S WORD:

When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit of God makes His home inside of you. That's the same Spirit, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. That resurrection power can bring back health, strength and life to your physical body, and it can bring back life to your hopes and dreams. It can help carry you through events and tragedy that we can't understand in our external material world. In fact, it can bring life to any area that may seem dormant on the inside of you.

Selah people' and friends the next time you feel overwhelmed by natural disaster, sickness, challenges or despair, remember, the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you. You may have been burdened by an addiction, fear or worry, but there's nothing that can stand against the power of God.

Rise up brothers and sisters and declare by faith, "He whom the Son sets free is free indeed. I am restored and healed in the name of Jesus! No weapon formed against me can prosper!" As you rise up in faith and declare the Word of God, you are activating His power within you, and you are moving forward in the victory He has for you!

OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:

"Father in heaven, thank You for filling me with Your power by the Holy Spirit. I choose to feed my faith by declaring Your Word over my life so that I can tap in to every blessing You have for me. In Jesus' Name. Amen."

In Christ service,

Patrick
