This morning, early, around 4 a.m. these two words kept penetrating my mind: "SAME POWER." Huh? What is going on? Well, I believe what we, as Christians, often tend to forget is that God is the same yesterday, as today, as tomorrow. Oh, yes, we give lip service to this but do we REALLY STAND FIRM IN THIS BELIEF?
Death does not have a grip on us because of Jesus Christ and His resurrection by God. Acts 2: 24 But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.
God's resurrection power is in us. This is for everyone who receives Jesus Christ as saviour. We simply have to believe and walk in that power.
Jesus died to break the power of sin and now he lives for the glory of God. What about us? Look at Romans 6:10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. 11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
So, we should see ourselves alive to God in Jesus Christ. Romans 8:11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.
Yes, God loves each of us to the point He sent His Son to come and overcome death, giving us eternal life. That power is the same today as it has always been. If you study the word you will find we have the SAME POWER inside each of us. Jesus conquered sin and death and we are the recipients of what He did.
We live only in a shell that is holding our spiritual DNA, and when this shell ceases to exist our spiritual being will live on in eternity with the LORD JESUS CHRIST and GOD. wow......Wow.....WOw.....WOW!
Death could not keep its hold on Jesus, AND, it cannot keep its hold on us!! Take time to read the Same Power lyrics by Jeremy Camp.
Here is Jeremy Camp's video of Same Power!! Thank you for reading today. Remember, you have the same power as Christ because Christ lives in you!! Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
