AWAKENED BY THE POWER OF CHRIST’S RESURRECTION

April 5, 2026 5:22 pm , 4 Comments ,

Easter is my favorite holiday because nothing compares to the glory of Christ’s resurrection. Today, I’m soaking up the beauty of the springtime flowers and pondering how grateful I am for the cross of Christ.

With overwhelming gratitude, I feel like climbing to the top of the mountain where I live and shouting, “JESUS IS ALIVE!” I’m not sure if I will shout from the mountaintop, but I will always shout praises to Jesus during times of worship at home and gatherings with other believers.

Without the resurrection of Christ, we would be bound to spiritual death. Because of Christ’s resurrection, we are given new life and awakened spiritually by the same power that raised Jesus back to life. The resurrection of Christ is what empowers us to live fully alive and remain spiritually awake every day.

There is nothing more exciting than being fully alive and awakened by the Spirit of God. My prayer is that countless people will experience awakening and new life in Christ today.

LORD,

Thank You for dying on the cross so that we may have eternal life and live free from sin. Thank You for awakening us with Your resurrection power and giving us new life in You. Renew our spirits and help us live every moment fully awakened in Christ. Help us live a life of repentance and let us turn away from the things that deaden our spirit. Fill us with more of Your Holy Spirit so that our soul will stay fully awakened and let us soar like the wings of eagles eternally.

Bring hope and life to countless people today. Let the greatest spiritual awakening known to mankind come forth during the days ahead. We await Your second coming with excitement and joy. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26 (NKJV)

Happy Easter!

CELEBRATING & REJOICING IN THE POWER OF CHRIST’S RESURRECTION

April 9, 2023 12:17 am , Leave a Comment ,

Easter Sunday is a beautiful time to celebrate the resurrection of Christ. And as we grow more deeply acquainted with Christ, we realize that every day is a day to celebrate and experience the power of Christ’s resurrection.

Philippians 3:10-11 (AMP) says:

[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope] that if possible I may attain to the [spiritual and moral] resurrection [that lifts me] out from among the dead [even while in the body].”

Through a deep relationship with Christ, we can experience the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. Christ’s resurrection power floods our soul with joy and peace when we feel like giving up. His resurrection power heals our broken hearts when we’re hurting. His resurrection power gives us strength to endure the most painful circumstances. Christ’s resurrection power delivers us from the demons that try to destroy our lives. His power enables us to forgive and love the people who have mistreated us. There is a never-ending list of the ways we can experience the power of Christ’s resurrection.

Everybody experiences hard battles in life. Pain is an inescapable reality in this world. However, the resurrection of Christ is a reason to dance every single day. When I am facing hard and painful battles, I fall on my knees and cry out to Jesus. As I pour my heart out to the Lord, His resurrection power lifts me up and fills me with supernatural strength. Then I begin to dance in celebration of His amazing love.

May you experience Christ’s resurrection power this Easter and be filled with a great measure of joy.

Our Beloved Jesus,
With every passing day, I am in more awe of You. I will be eternally grateful for Your grace. Thank You for Your indescribable love for mankind. Thank You for being our redeemer and dying an agonizing death so that we can live eternally in Your perfect peace. Help us to surrender to Your will and experience Your resurrection power every day. Help us to always remember the pain you bore for us to be free from sin, death, condemnation, and shame. Help us live with grateful hearts and let our lives be a celebration of Your awesome gift to us. Amen.

 

You have a reason to dance today: JESUS IS ALIVE.

Hallelujah.

I hope you enjoy my all-time favorite worship song. Years ago, I danced so intensely when the song “God’s Great Dance Floor” was sung at the Easter service. The muscles in my legs hurt for a few days from dancing so hard. It was worth it though.
