"But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him you will have life by the power of his name." (John 20:31 NLT)
- There is power in the name of Jesus!
- By believing in Him, He gives you life - a supernatural life.
- A Life that is abundant.
- A life that is blessed.
- A life that is favored!
- A life of prosperity!
- A life that is healed!
- The word "Believe" is a verb - it's dynamic!
- It requires action.
- To believe means that you believe who Jesus is and who He claims to be.
- It means investing all of who you are into all of who He is.
- It means dying to self and living in and through Him.
- 2 Cor. 5:17 says, "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."
- "In Christ" means He lives in you and you live in Him.
- You are not your own.
- Not only does it change the way we live but it also means that there is nothing that we face on our own.
- His life is always available to draw from.
- If He lives in you, and you believe that you have life through Him, then that life is a very different life.
- You are set apart.
- You are extraordinary.
- Your new life means that His healing power flows through you!
- You have His power available to overcome all discouragement and fear.
- When Jesus is in the room - depression must leave!
- So if He lives in you, the same should happen.
- You have the power by His life giving Spirit to rise above all circumstances.
- Sickness must leave...
- Jealousy must leave...
- Poverty must leave...
- Anxiety must leave....
- Bitterness must leave...
- In Jesus' Name!
- When people come in contact with you, they should leave changed!
- You don't need to be needy - pulling life from others.
- You pull from Jesus and then turn to others and give out His life.
- You have His life to give out, so you should be depositing His life into others.
- Today, look around a see who needs a touch from Jesus.
- Realize that you have the answer.
- you are "the body of Christ." (1 Cor. 12:27)
- You are His hands and feet... Use them like He would use them!
- Look for those who need "life by the power of his name."
- Give out of the overflow of how He has given to you.
- Give out His abundant life.
- Have a great Monday!
