He's Alive!

Happy Easter/Passover weekend! As you worship, praise the Lord, and feast on delicious food to celebrate this victorious event, keep in mind one thing. Basically, there’s one verse in the Bible that makes this 2000+ year old event relevant and exciting for me. I pray you feel the same excitement, joy and hope as I do as you meditate on this verse.

The verse is Romans 8:11. Here it is in context:

Free from Indwelling Sin

1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 

11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Romans 8:1-11

Think about it. If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is in you, you have an amazing Power that can not only free you from sin, but is also life to your body right now! This is awesome news! God is an awesome and good God! He doesn’t condemn you, plus He has the power to free you from sin, addiction, sickness, lack, and all things evil, plus He has the desire to give you abundant life! Do you believe it?

This Easter/Passover weekend, may you receive/believe/sense that God loves you, and has given you a Power that can bust through all the boulders in your life, so that you will be blessed and be a blessing In Jesus Name!!!!!
