The Resurrection Power of God

Ephesian 1: 18-20 "I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead..."

There is power in God. And God wants to show us His power. He wants to show Himself strong on your behalf. As believers, we have access to that power by faith in what Christ has done for us. God has demonstrated that resurrection power in Jesus by raising him from the dead.

2 Chronicles 16:9 "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him."

Abraham was the first, i believe personally, to understand the resurrection power of God. He believed that God can raise even his son Isaac from the dead. Abraham begotten Isaac when he already is too old to father any children. In other words, Abraham and his wife Sarah's reproductive system was already "dead" but God "resurrected" them. God had promised Abraham that he will have descendants despite the impossibility scientifically. The Jews we see today are the descendants of Abraham and Sarah. The re-emergence of the nation of Israel today is a statement by God to this generation of His resurrection power.

When things seem to go down, seem to go into death mode, remind yourself that God can turn things around. God is an expert in doing rebound. In this economic crisis, the world may feel the worse is yet to come, but in God, nothing is impossible with Him. He can even raise the dead!

Trust Him! God has the last say.

"Dear heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, acknowledging that our strength is small and that we are dependent on You. Our faith is in You and hearts is towards You. You raised Christ from the dead, You can even raise our marriages, relationships, finances and health from the dead. We can expect a miracle in You, let us experience that resurrection power of God in us right now. Have the peace of God that surpass all understanding guard our hearts and mind... In Jesus Christ Amen!"
