Live Again Devotions
Day #20
“Because Jesus Lives, We Can Live Too”
John 14:19 (KJV) Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
Because Jesus rose again from the dead, we can also live. The resurrection of Jesus validates our faith. Paul mentions in…
1 Corinthians 15:14 (KJV) And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
Jesus rose from the dead, so we can live with confidence in what we believe is true. The resurrection is an example that the proof is in the pudding. That is the difference between our God and other gods. Our God rose from the dead. Jesus’ sepulcher is empty while other gods’ bones remain in ancient tombs. There is a sign on the door of His tomb that read, “He is not here, He has risen.”
Jesus having risen from the dead allows us to live on this side of eternity, and on the other side of eternity as well.
There is a song written by Bill Gaither, entitled, “Because He Lives.” One of the verses says this…
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know, I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives
Your life is worth living because He lives! It doesn’t matter what you face in this life because He lives. He will be the peace-speaker in your storm. He will be the one with you in the valley of the shadow of death.
Because He lives, you can live victoriously. You don’t have to succumb to the spirit of death that is so prevalent in our world today. Don’t let it have any part of your life. We are people of abundant life.
Make up in your mind today, that when you see the devil trying to kill precious things in your life begin to boldly and prophetically declare for LIFE to breathe on them.
Those things that have already died, you need to exercise your resurrection authority which was given to you when you received the Holy Spirit. Command them to LIVE AGAIN!
