Desktop Devotional: One
When I accepted Jesus Christ into my life, I had no idea that the journey with Him would be endless. Endless moments of experiencing God, and growing in Faith through His word and devotional time with Him. What really astounds me is that he loves me enough to live inside of me!
Check this out: Romans 8:11 really confirms the power of God’s Spirit within us, once we accept Him.
“But if the spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His spirit that dwelleth in you.” After everything Christ endured, the Holy Spirit raised Jesus out of the grave. Saints, it was the Holy Spirit (1/3 of the Holy Trinity) that quickened Jesus to rise up out of the grave after enduring pain, heartbreak, persecution, hatred, and death sentencing all to fulfill prophecy for saving sinners like you and I.
If you consider, this is the same spirit that empowers you to have the strength in your mortal body to get up each day and face depression, family duties, work, ministry difficulties, racism and often misunderstanding from others only to fulfill His purpose for your life! “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13). God presents his strength in the time of our weakness because His power indwells us who have accepted Him. Family, you can never be disadvantaged with the Holy Spirit dwelling in you! Tap into the power of Christ infused by God himself when you feel weak and your heart aches from all of the world’s calamity. Just thank God for finding you worthy enough to indwell, and appreciate him for his power that gives you the strength to live!
