As we journey towards Easter, God continues to speak about the promise of resurrection life. Not as in ‘one day when I get to heaven’ but experiencing it now, in every area of our lives, that we would surrender to Him. He is asking us if we would invite Him into each area of our life in which we are simply surviving and not fully thriving.
The Lord speaks specifically about the way we are thinking, the lies, the half-truths we are believing which were keeping us from experiencing the fullness of life.
Will we allow Him into our unbelief and doubt so faith could rise? Will we allow Him into all of the lost hopes and dreams? Will we let the Holy Spirit confront every area of pride in our lives, self-reliance and self-protection? He is leading us into a deeper trust in a faithful God.
Reading the account in Mark 5, see the faith of a Dad willing to push through to see His little girl live. Our Heavenly Father is just as willing to go to whatever lengths are necessary to see each one of us become fully alive. “This is how much God loves the world: He gave his Son, His one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed. By believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.” John 3:16-18 MSG
What areas of your life have you not been trusting Jesus with?
In which areas are you just surviving and not thriving?
Name some of the areas where you have no hope?
Invite Jesus into these areas and ask Him for His truth and for His solution.
Resurrection power
