Now
upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came
unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and
certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the
sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord
Jesus.
– Luke 24:1-3

Truly, it’s time for us to stop
looking for the living among the dead. It’s time for us to stop
wandering around in the cemetery of sin, sickness and failure and to
step into resurrection life!
As a resurrected creature, you’re no
accident going somewhere to happen. Your life isn’t just a loose web of
events and circumstances. God has specific plans for you.
Maybe He
intends for you to have the greatest healing ministry of this century.
Or perhaps He wants to turn you into a tremendous preacher. Maybe He has
a revelation prepared for you that will enable you to bless the whole
world. But you’ll never know what He has in store for you until you put
your attention on Him.
That’s why the devil works hard to keep you
focusing on the problems of life. That’s why he tries to keep your
attention turned away from the living Word of God. He doesn’t want you
to know you’re full of the resurrection life of Jesus. In fact, the
prospect of it terrifies him.
Why? Because once you truly
understand that you have the life of God inside you, you’ll begin to act
just like Jesus did. You’ll lay hands on the sick and they’ll recover.
You’ll cast out demons. You’ll preach the gospel to every creature.
In short, you’ll be just what God intended you to be. You’ll be the Body of Christ on the earth.
Don’t
let Satan bind you with the grave clothes of yesterday’s sin and
defeat. You’re not dead anymore. You’ve been raised with Jesus. Come out
from the tombs and start living resurrection life!
