Happy Easter!

I want to encourage you today not only about the RESURRECTION of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, but about how YOU have RESURRECTION POWER living on the inside of you because of all Jesus did for you!

Romans 8:11 declares that the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead lives on the inside of you. It is a power so strong that death could not keep Jesus in the grave ~ A power so strong that ALL THE FORCES OF DARKNESS could not stop it!

Here’s the key: THE ONLY WAY to activate this power is to BELIEVE! This is what Abraham did. Romans 4:17 says,

  • This is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, “I have made you the father of many nations.” This happened because Abraham believed in the God Who brings the dead back to life and Who creates new things out of nothing.

I exhort you to have a new perspective today ~ You are full of RESURRECTION POWER!

2 Corinthians 2:14 declares this:

  • Now thanks be unto God Who always causes us to triumph in Christ…

We’ve got to stand our ground and fight the good fight of faith. This is what 1 Timothy 6:12 tells us to do! The reason it is called a “GOOD FIGHT” is because the enemy has already been defeated. The keys to death and hell have already been taken away! Hallelujah!

Jesus said in John 14:30,

  • …The ruler (prince) of this world is coming (referring to satan) and he has NO POWER over Me.

You can say the same thing! I do every day! I say, “The enemy has no power over me!” See, there’s a power in you that is no match for any power that tries to stop you!

So, all through the day, let these verses play through your mind ~ “I am strong in the Lord and in the power of His might” (Ephesians 6:10). “I am well able” (Numbers 13:30). “I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13). “I am full of resurrection power” (Romans 8:11).

Even if you do not feel powerful, act like you are because the Bible says you are!

I encourage you not to go through life intimidated when you have the most powerful force in the Universe living on the inside of you! Family, God’s got your back! The Creator of the Universe has you covered!

So, no matter what comes against you, keep the right perspective ~ there are more FOR YOU than there are against you! (2 Kings 6:16). Greater is He that is in you that he that is in the world! (1 John 4:4).

When the enemy looks at you, he does not see you as weak, intimidated, and at a disadvantage. He sees you just the opposite. He sees you as powerful, equipped, and anointed!

It is great to see yourself the way God sees you, but I want you to see yourself the way the enemy sees you. When you know who you are and Whose you are, and realize you are full of RESURRECTION POWER, you will not live intimidated. You will pull your shoulders back, knowing that THE SAME POWER THAT RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD LIVES ON THE INSIDE OF YOU!

If death could not keep Jesus in the grave, that situation that you are facing cannot hold you back either.

Just know that in the unseen realm, you are radiating with brilliant light! You are protected! You are set-apart! You have God’s RESURRECTION POWER living in you!

Walking in His RESURRECTION POWER,
