The Spirit in Us Posted: 25 Aug 2010 03:48 AM PDT Read Romans 8:9–14. What is promised to those who surrender themselves fully to Christ?
What this text is saying is something which is very amazing! This passage is loaded with power. It presents the idea that if the Spirit of God is within us the same power that raised Jesus can also quicken our dead members. If you feel like you have something you can't shake, a bad habit or addiction. Christ is able to bring victory through the power of the resurrection. Jesus can speak life to your dead situation. No matter how dead it may seem Jesus is still able to raise the dead. That same power that raised up Jesus is also still able to raise you up.
Dwell on this idea that the Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from death, is the same one dwelling in us, if we allow Him to. Think about the power that is there for us! What keeps us from availing ourselves of it as we should?
This is something which we need to meditate on. It may be that some do not understand the power which is available to us. To know Jesus is life eternal. Our understanding of who Jesus really is, brings life.
Prayer: Father thank you for the gift of your Son Jesus Christ. Please help us to truly understand who He is. Today we need to know the Jesus who is able to grant us victory over sin. Thank You in Jesus name amen. |
