The Power II

By
romans-8_11
“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you” Rom.8:11

The Resurrection Power gives you and I power to live. And with the power to live comes the power to love. That power that God has given you is the power to love. “And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love” Rom.5:5 [emphasis added]. Everyone that has experienced the Resurrection Power has their hearts filled with love, not hate, not envy not bitterness, not malice but filled with love.

THE POWER l

The capacity to love is in you. Invariably, the Resurrection Power gives us the power to forgive. If you find out that you cannot forgive, you need to go back to the roots. Something is wrong with your connection to The Resurrection Power. If you find out that you struggle with forgiving people who have hurt you, then go back to the roots. Why? Because the Resurrection Power gives us power to forgive. Jesus did not say do not offend one another. When I first read that part of the Bible, it upset me. Why would God say forgive one another instead of do not offend one another? But with time, I realized that for God to say forgive one another, it implies that people will offend you. The Resurrection Power does not only enable you to trample upon serpents and scorpions, it also enables you to love and forgive. And it is the same power!

To get in contact with this God, all we need to do is believe. Only believe! Isn’t that simplistic? Exactly, that is where God is. Only believe! So many things separated Jesus from all the other so-called religious leaders [the people that started movements]. Every one of them pointed people to believe in principles or in higher being. Jesus taught His people to believe in Him. There is no leader of any form of religion that says to people - believe in me or put your faith in me.

When Martha came and said to Jesus, if you had been here my brother would not have died, Jesus did not say I can explain the Resurrection and the Life. Jesus did not say I can point you to the Resurrection and the Life. Jesus did not say let us go and consult the Resurrection and the Life. Jesus said, “I am the Resurrection and the Life”.

Prayer [song]: All honor. All glory. All power to You [repeat]. Holy Father we worship You. Precious Jesus our Savior. Holy Spirit we wait on you (3x), for fire [repeat]. Amen!

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

Open Heavens Daily Devotional Friday July 15th 2016 Memory Verse: Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure. - 1 Timothy 5:22 Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 18:28-34 28. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.  29. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.  30. Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.  31. And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.  32.For it came to pass, that, whe...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...
