Resurrection Power - Resurrection Life
For days now I have been pondering this phrase----RESURRECTION POWER----RESURRECTION LIFE.
When Jesus was raised from the dead, He was raised with the power of God which we have termed resurrection power. We also are raised from our dead spiritual condition when we accept Jesus as our Savior and Lord. We receive Him into our hearts to govern our lives with the totality of His Presence. His Presence is the Holy Spirit in us right now if we are born again.
We see the exceeding greatness of the resurrection power of God described in Ephesians 1:19-21, KJV. “And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:”
In the Amplified Bible verses 19-21 read as follows: “And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.”
We are told in Romans 8:11 that the same Holy Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead dwells in our mortal bodies to quicken, give life to our mortal bodies.
We read in 1 John 4:17 that as He is, so are we in this world. This verse is written in the context of the love of God. God is Love and he that dwells in Love dwells in God and God in him, or Love in Him.
The question I have been asking all weekend is this. Since the same power that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in me and in you, what is holding back the reality of that power on a daily basis. Where is the power? What is holding it back? The failure is not on God’s part, so it must lie with us.
And I have seen where the failure is. Once again, we must state that God’s divine love is the greatest power in the universe. When we are walking in agape Love, God’s Love, not human love which is dependent upon circumstances, we are walking in God. And when we are walking in God, we are walking in Love. And when we are walking in Love, we are walking in God’s power.
We do not need to seek the power. The power is already in us. He is called the Holy Spirit. He is the power of God. What we are to seek is Him, Love Himself. When we seek Love, we become like Him, like Love Himself, and the power is there. It is available and it is demonstrated in our daily lives. The compassion of God rises up in us for people and they are healed. That same power rises up in us and produces results in our lives. He gives life to us 24-7 in every area of our lives. What we must do is receive Him and His fullness on our behalf, in everything we do and say.
POWER---It’s a word I hear much in the Christian circles. And there are those who seek the power, but the greatest seeking is the seeking after Love Himself, agape love. With Him comes the power. With Him comes the fullness. With Him comes the life. It’s a special kind of life that we Christians live. It is the resurrection life. We have been raised from the deadness of our sin and sickness to the life of His righteousness and wholeness. We have been resurrected by the power of the Holy Spirit (resurrection power) with the fullness of His resurrection life working in us.
Resurrection power------resurrection life is in us now to bring us the fullness of God’s life that He wants us to walk in while we are here on this earth.
Speak this and meditate it until it becomes reality in your life.
“I am a born again child of God. I have received Jesus as my Savior. Therefore, the Holy Spirit is dwelling in me with His resurrection power and His resurrection life, which is really His Love. It is mine all the time, and I live in this power; I walk in this power. This Love Power, this Resurrection power is operating in me and for me and for others. Yes, I do know and understand this immeasurable, unlimited, incomparably great power which is in me and for me who believes. This is the operative energy of the manifested strength of God’s might. I have it and I know how to operate in it.”
