The Supernatural Spirit Within

“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)

We serve a supernatural God! He is not limited by anything or anyone. He’s ready to do the impossible in you, for you and through you!

Think about this for a moment: when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the Spirit of God actually makes His home in you — the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead! That means that you have unlimited power, unlimited wisdom, unlimited ability, unlimited joy and unlimited peace living inside of you by the power of the Holy Spirit. As a believer, you have the unlimited, supernatural, living God inside of you!

Let that sink down deep into your heart. Let it restore confidence and strength to your being. Let it energize your thoughts and attitude today. As you meditate on Him and the vastness of His power inside of you, you will tap into that power more and more. Every day, you’ll experience His supernatural increase as you put Him first — the Supernatural One living in you!



A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, so that I can have eternal, abundant life in You. Thank You for choosing to make Your home in me and empowering me by Your Spirit. Father, give me Your wisdom and revelation so I can rise higher and embrace everything You have in store for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Get Ready To Put Things Into Action

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“And I am praying that you will put into action the generosity that comes from your faith as you understand and experience all the good things we have in Christ”

(Philemon 1:6, NLT)



The Bible tells us that faith without works is dead. If we don’t put our faith into action, it’s not really faith; it’s just nice ideas. You see, when God truly does a work in our lives, it affects everything about us. It affects our words, our thoughts and our actions. How do you know someone is generous? By their generous actions. How do you know someone is kind? By their kind actions. How do you know someone is gentle? By their gentle actions. How do you know someone is a follower of Christ? By their Christ-like actions.

Can people tell by your actions that you belong to God? We all have areas where we can come up higher, but as believers in Jesus, we can be confident that God is at work in us. He is faithful and will complete what He started. As we invite Him to search our hearts and minds, as we surrender every area of our heart to Him and put our faith into action, He will finish His perfect work in us!



A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, thank You for changing me, for making me more like You. I invite Your love to do a work in my heart so that You are reflected in everything I say and do. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Your Body Will Always Be Dead...

because of sin. But if Christ is in you, then the Spirit gives you life, because Christ made you right with God.

                                                                                                                                          -Romans 8:10

-
That is why it is in important that you let the Spirit dwell within you.

One Man Sinned...

so death ruled all people because of that one man (Adam). But now those people who accept God's full grace and great gift of being made right with him will surely have true life and rule through one man, Jesus Christ.

                                                                                                                                        -Romans 5:17

God Makes People Right...

with himself through their faith in Jesus Christ. This is true for all who believe in Christ, because all people are the same.

                                                                                                                              -Romans 3:22

-

And because God has the ability to change us from within makes it even more clear his AWESOME POWER in everyday, regular routine matters.

So what does this say? That we should know that Jesus is our righteousness.

And So Paul Goes On To Say...

I think that all things are worth nothing compared with the greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Because of him, I have lost all those things, and now I know they are worthless trash. This allows me to have Christ and to belong to him. Now I am right with God, not because I followed the law, but because I believed in Christ. God uses my faith to make me right with him.

                                                                                                    -Philippians 3:8-9

Because Of God

you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God. In Christ we are put right with God, and have been made holy, and have been set free from sin.

                                                                               -1 Corinthians 1:30

JESUS IS YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

Christ had no sin, but God made him become sin so that in Christ we could become right with God.

                                                                                                                       -2 Cornithians 5:21

When You Were Spiritually Dead...

because of your sins and because you were not free from the power of your sinful self, od made you alive with Christ, and he forgave all of your sins.

                                                                                                     -Colossians 2:13

In 1 John 2:1, Paul writes to his followers...

My dear children, I write this letter to you so you will not sin. But anyone who does sin, we have a helper in the presence of the Father-Jesus Christ, the one who does what is right.

If Anyone Belongs To Christ...

there is a new creation. The old things have gone; everything is made new!

                                                                                                                  -2 Corinthians 5:7

JESUS IS YOUR FORGIVENESS...

Because of his love, God already decided to make us his own children through Jesus Christ. That was what he wanted and what pleased him, and it brings praise to God because of his wonderful grace. God gave that grace to us freely, in Christ, the one he loves. In Christ we are set free by the blood of his death, and so we have forgiveness of sins. How rich is God's grace!

                                                                                                                                    -Ephesians 1:5-7

-
What does this speak to your heart? Please feel free to comment

Finally At The End Of The Day...

Do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks. And God's peace, which is so great we can't understand it, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Amen.

                                              -Philippians 4:6-7

-

This was one of the first Scriptures I remembered especially when I was going through an almost constant stream of unnecessary worry over the slightest things. It is important for you to recite those scriptures that mean the most to you to strengthen you each day. Meditate day and night. Yes, it is that important!

Also this is good to remind you...

Let the peace that Christ gives control your thinking, because you were all called together in one body to have peace. Always be thankful.

-Colossians 3:15

And since we have been right with God....

by our faith, we have peace with God. This happened through our Lord Jesus Christ.

                                                                                                         -Romans 5:1

Continuing with Ephesians 2:13-14...

But now in Christ Jesus, you who were far away from God are brought near through the blood of Christ's death. Christ himself is our peace. He made BOTH Jewish people and those who are not Jews ONE people. They were separated as if there were a wal between them, but Christ broke down that wall of hate by giving his own body.

-

What do you get when you read this Scripture? I would like to know your point of view because, man...this is a powerful statement! Think of that for a moment? 'He made BOTH Jewish people and those who are not Jews ONE PEOPLE!' That is what stands out most to me.

Listen to what Paul says in Ephesians 3:17-19

I pray that Christ will live in your hearts by FAITH and that your life will be strong in love and be built on love. And I pray that you and all God's holy people will have the power too understand the greatness of Christ's love-how wide and how long and how high and how deep that love is. Christ's love is greater than anyone can ever know, but I pray that you will able to know that love. Then you can be filled with the fullness of God.

JESUS IS YOUR LOVE

But God shows his great love for us in this way; Christ died for us while we were still sinners.

Romans 5:8

There is that which in Acts 2:36 says...

So, all the people of Israel should know this truly: God has made Jesus-the man you nailed cross-both Lord and Christ

2 Timothy 1:8-9 states...

But suffer with me for the Good News. God, who gives us the strength to do that, saved us and made us his holy people. That is not because of anything we did ourselves but because of God's purpose and grace. That grace was given to us through Christ Jesus before time began.
