Romans 8:11 (GNB) If the Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from death, lives in you, then he who raised Christ from death will also give life to your mortal bodies by the presence of his Spirit in you.

Ephesians 1:19-20 (GNB) And how very great is his power at work in us who believe. This power working in us is the same as the mighty strength which he used when he raised Christ from death and seated him at his right side in the heavenly world.

It is important for us to consistently acknowledge the mighty power that God manifested to raise Jesus Christ from the dead. It is also very important for us to acknowledge that this same mighty power is at work in our lives. The more we realize and believe it, the more we will experience the manifestation of this resurrection power of Christ manifesting mightily in our spirit, our soul and in our body. Child of God, you are not weak, powerless, empty or hopeless. You are strong and divinely empowered. The mighty power of God is at work in your life. Anything is possible if you can believe. Because that same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you, He will empower you and raise you up to do and be everything that God has ordained for you to do an be in every area of your life. He will activate God’s divine life and power to manifest in every area of your life.

When many people quote Ephesians 3:20, they rightly say, “God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or think,” but they usually leave out the part that says, “according to the power at work within us.” God wants you to remain conscious of His mighty power that is at work in you. He has anointed you with that same Holy Ghost and power that He anointed Jesus, Acts 10:38. Remember that God loves you just as He loves Jesus and Jesus has sent you into the world in the same way the Father sent Him into the world. Expect the Holy Spirit to continually manifest the power of God in your life – just as He manifested it in the life of Jesus.

Faith Declaration:

By the resurrection power of the Spirit that works in me, I experience the miraculous and divine life of God.
