The
Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being,
sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification
for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
Hebrews
1:3
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE...
Jesus
was God with us. No imitation, knock off, or clone. He was God with us. To this
day, he sustains creation with his word -- so much for "Mother
Nature." But now "God with us" has paid for our sins and is not
just God with us, but God for us at the Father's side.
MY PRAYER...
Precious
Lord, as you have so many times in the past, you take these humble human words
and bring them to the Father as my friend and brother. Thank you for your
sacrifice, which saved me. Thank you for your sustaining presence in our
universe. Thank you for your daily intercession. Thank you for being God for me
at the Father's side. To the glorious, majestic, and holy God, who sent Jesus
as Savior, be glory, honor, and adoration forever and ever. Amen.
SAME SPIRIT, SAME
POWER
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"And
if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, [then] He
Who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also restore to life your mortal
(short-lived, perishable) bodies through His Spirit Who dwells in you"
(Romans
8:11, AMP)
TODAY'S WORD
When
you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the Bible tells us that the Holy
Spirit makes His home inside of you. That's God Himself, the same Spirit with
the same power that raised Jesus from the dead! His resurrection power can
bring back health, strength and life to your physical body. He can restore hope
and breathe life into your dreams. In fact, He can resurrect any area that may
seem dormant on the inside of you!
The
next time you feel overwhelmed by sickness, challenges or despair, remember,
the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you through Christ
Jesus. You may have been burdened by an addiction, fear or worry, but there's
nothing that can stand against the power of God. Rise up and declare by faith,
"He whom the Son sets free is free indeed. I am restored and healed in the
name of Jesus! No weapon formed against me can prosper!" Receive His
truth, declare the Word, and activate His power within you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father
in heaven, thank You for filling me with Your power by the Holy Spirit. I
choose to feed my faith by declaring Your Word. I choose to walk in Your ways
and honor You in everything I do in Jesus' name. Amen.
