All of humankind’s sin – from the beginning of time to the end of time – was laid on Jesus and not even the weight of that could hold him down. Jesus rose from the dead. Jesus’ resurrection demonstrates that no darkness or evil, nor pain or brokenness, can overcome the power of God for those who believe in Jesus.
I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms. (Ephesians 1:19-20 NLT)
No matter how fearsome or broken our lives seem to us, not even the weight of that can keep us down when we are in Christ. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is in us who completely surrender our will and our lives to God.
What seems impossible for us to believe becomes possible when God is involved. When we invite God into a situation, things happen that are beyond all we could hope for or imagine. God’s power is stronger than anything we have ever encountered. God’s kindness is more tender than anything we may have experienced. When Jesus comes into our lives, He brings power and solutions and hope for a new way of life. He fills us with His Holy Spirit. Believing that the Holy Spirit is within us – with unlimited power to meet every need and solve every problem – will enable all doubt about our recovery and our ability to deal with problems to be overcome.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, You are God and You have the power to bring about change and healing in each life that is given over to You, including mine. Fill me with the mighty power of Your Holy Spirit so I can walk confidently in this new life You have given me. Amen
