“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.” —Romans 8:11 NIV
Pain.
Regret.
Rejection.
Fear.
Anxiety.
Not just words; but emotions that run deep.
In my life I have experienced all of the above emotions and, at times, all at once! I understand the impact these emotions have on the day to day. They make each step a little harder than the one before. Heavy emotions like these weigh on us as heavy builders atop our fragile frame. And the vicious cycle of it all is that the more we feel one of them the more others pile on like a drifter looking to hitch a ride on a slow moving train.
But there’s hope!
Listen friend—if youre in need of a breakthrough—today is your day! This is Resurrection Sunday! Today is the day that our savior Jesus burst fourth from the grave! The day He revealed His victory over death! The day that ablitorated the shackels from around the wrists of God’s children everywhere, past, present and future!!
Jesus is the resurrection and the life (Jn. 11:25)! If you’ve surrendered your life to Him then you walk in resurrection power because you have Jesus living in you! As our verse for today proclaims, you have the same spirit in you that raised Christ from the dead! That spirit is at work inside of you giving you life from within!
Life can spring up from with in you right now as you believe! As your faith deepens. As you cling to this powerful truth! On this day 2000 years ago life broke through the grave… the very place where life didn’t exist! This day marks the shift in power that even death can’t hold us down!
“DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. “O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?” —1 Corinthians 15:55 NIV
I pray this day you begin to experience Jesus a fresh and anew! He is the Resurection and the Life reviving you from within! I pray that the life giving spirit of God within would begin to burst forth from you as a ray of sunshine beams between the clouds dissipating after a storm. I pray for a fresh encounter with Truth today as you reflect on the incredible miracle this day represents. And I pray the emotional breakthrough you’ve been crying out for would happen as suddenly as Jesus bursting fourth from the grave—He’s alive!!! Hallelujah! And therefore, you are alive today friend!
Allow the finished work of the cross and the power of resurrection life to become your personal testimony of breakthrough today as Jesus’ life erupts from within you now! Close your eyes now and imagine the weight you’ve been carrying now rolling away as that big heavy boulder rolled away from the tomb revealing the power of life from within! You can be free friend… today is your day. Now is your moment!
I love you,
Krissy
