RESURRECTION LIFE

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. “But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.’ ( 2Cor 4:6-7 )  God’s ultimate desire is to reproduce His supernatural, resurrection life in and through you. For His power, wisdom and strength to flow through you in extraordinary ways.  For you to be light in this world that directs others to Him (Mat 5:16).  But in order for that to happen, the Lord must reveal Himself to you and bring you into a profoundly intimate relationship with Himself. He must remove your dependency on yourself, others and artificial crutches so that others see that it is God and only God who is doing the extraordinary work through you.  And He must grow your love and devotion to Him. That is why you are facing what you are facing today.  That is God’s goal.  With that in mind, spend time with Him in prayer, release whatever it is He reveals to you, and experience the extraordinary life for which He created you. Let’s hope in our Lord Jesus Christ because He gives us power to overcome. Talk to im.”Search me O God and know my heart; try me and know my anxious thoughts; and see if there be any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.” (Psalm 139:23-24) Does Jesus have access to your whole heart?  Does He have a say in everything you think, express, and do?  As your Savior, He wants us to. He realizes there are places within you that are still bound to sin, and you will tend to shut Him out of them, keeping Him away from your well-established walls of protection and coping mechanisms.  But those are the very areas where you need Him most because they are the ones that cause you to struggle and despair.  Even today they may be causing you to feel weak and hopeless. Realize the Holy Spirit's presence and the new life given to Believers through Jesus' resurrection from the dead for the forgiveness of our sins. Grace is God working in us. So live in its fullness. Pray, Read the Bible and Reach out to others leading them back to Jesus. God will bless, He is pleased with these actions. This is Resurrection Life. Blessings.  Pastor Edpaul
