That Same Spirit

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. Romans 8:11 (KJV)

This verse affirms twice that God raised Jesus from the dead by His Spirit, the Holy Spirit. There’s no doubt that Jesus is alive. As the Holy Spirit brought Jesus back from the dead, so He’ll bring life to your mortal body now.

This says that no matter how far gone your body is, there’s hope. Jesus’ dead body brought back to life is your guarantee that God’s Spirit will quicken, or give life to, your body. That means sin, sickness, disease, injury- none of it can keep you down. It can’t remain. Just as Jesus came out of the grave, you’re coming out of whatever is keeping you down. All death brings is defeat. With the Spirit of Life we win. We have the victory. And anything else that died will live- relationships, finances, dreams….

God has called us to live in resurrection power, where nothing holds us down, victory is ours, and we walk in newness of life. That same Spirit is giving life to you right now!
