April 30
“You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. But if Christ is inside you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living inside of you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives within you.” Romans 8:9-11
There is power in Jesus and in His wondrous name to transform anyone, heal anyone, to save dying souls that are going to hell, to bring millions to the knowledge of salvation, to bring nations to their knees in repentance by asking for forgiveness for all manner of individual and national sin.
Believers, in the behalf of their countries may pray the wonderful prayer of II Chronicles 9:14, “If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land.”
Believers can also trust Jesus to change their families from unregenerate and rebellious children to people of faith and integrity. He can change a person’s professional life as the individual begins to appropriate the charge of Colossians 3:23; “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it as unto the Lord.”
He can redeem you from anything with which the enemy has bound you. He desires to make you whole in body, mind, spirit, finance, relationship. He wants the entirety of your being to reflect the glory of His holy name.
When you give your life to Jesus, you will discover that the prince and power of the air (Ephesians 2:2) no longer has any authority over you! You will find yourself to be “more than a conqueror,“ Romans 8:37, because of Christ's glory. You will know from your own experience that the power that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, and that His power is greater than all the powers of darkness, just as we are told in Romans 8:9-11.
