The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time with Him stressed the importance of Jesus as our resurrection and life and our complete trust and reliance on Him to raise us out of every death venture and obstacle that seeks to exalt itself above the knowledge of God.

The Lord in His Presence always gives life to the dead and calls things that do not exist as though they are alive and well. We need to walk in this reality daily that the Holy Spirit will raise us up out of every dead thing and give us life in every event of life.

Today the Holy Spirit wants me to remind you that the Jesus whom you follow is the Resurrection and life. Now we all know Jesus died on the cross for our sins but if that was all we could not live because He died and we died with Him. What is most paramount to us as His followers is that He was raised from the dead and lives in glory and not in a tomb.

As the angels spoke to the Apostles at the tomb saying why do you look for the living among the dead. Jesus is not dead but alive and has the power to raise back to life anything that is dead.

The Holy Spirit wants you to know this truth and never forget it that God gives life to the dead and calls things that don’t exist into existence.

Remember that Jesus destroyed him that had the power over death that is the devil and released us who through the fear of death were all our lifetime subject to bondage Hebrews:2.15.

Jesus has given us power over death and a resurrected life in Him so that death can no longer reign over us. What God says is regardless of the death threat applied to it. In John:11.25-26 Jesus makes clear who He is and this one statement distinguishes Him from any other I am the Resurrection and the life. He that lives and believes in Him will never die. Do you believe this is the question? which remains for us now.

Jesus said I have power over death, others can give up their lives but no one else can raise their lives back once they die and that is what makes Jesus our Master the greatest because He can raise anything from death to life no matter what death situation you find yourself in Jesus can give life in that situation and bring you out.

That’s what makes Him unique and so Awesome that no death can defeat His purpose and plan for you. Acts:2.24 whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.

Death could not hold Jesus down and that is a reality we must always hold onto as it is the basis of our faith because Jesus defeated what Adam sold us to death and raised us to life. In Acts:4.33-35 it says And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.

Note it did not say that with great witness of the cross but the witness was the resurrection of Jesus that great power was released and much grace was distributed and lives were changed because death was defeated and new life was released that set men free from worldly things and gave a new perspective of life and use of resources for the benefit of the kingdom of Jesus.

Well the Lord of Resurrection Jesus Himself wants you to know without a shadow of doubt that He will raise you out of every dead situation in your life and give you a new lease of life as He did for all those poor people in Acts:4 as the Apostles gave witness real living proof that Jesus was alive and able to do miracles and signs and wonders that attested to the reality that He is the Resurrection and the life.

This reality of who Jesus is has always lifted me in any situation or obstacle I have faced in life and there have been many and brought me out alive on the side of victory and triumph.

So today I beseech you to lay hold of these words of Jesus and take the grace imparted through them and be raised up out of every death situation and even grave situation, because it is not only limited to death but even to the driest bones being raised from tombs to become a mighty army serving the purpose of Jesus on earth and experience this reality in the Holy Spirit who wants you to be a partaker of this benefit in Jesus that He imparts to you.

Now go forward out of the grave and live a new season of life in the Resurrection Power of God filled with good things that Prove who Jesus is in your life in Jesus Name. Amen.
