Resting in Resurrection Power

About this episode

This episode emphasizes the resurrection power of Christ that resides within believers and encourages them to rest in that truth rather than being swayed by their feelings of weakness and exhaustion.

We serve a God who does not give leftovers. He does not portion out a diminished version of His Spirit, scaled down for ordinary people living ordinary lives. The same Spirit that hovered over the waters at creation, parted the Red Sea, performed miracle after miracle throughout Scripture, and raised Jesus Christ from the dead — that Spirit lives in you. Right now. Tonight. It is almost too much to take in, which may be exactly why we so rarely live like it is true. We feel weak, tired, and empty, and our feelings become the loudest voice in the room, drowning out a truth far more real than anything our emotions can tell us. Tonight's episode is a reminder that feelings, however convincing, do not determine reality. The resurrection power of Christ is not something we have to work ourselves up to or earn our way into — it is already dwelling within everyone who belongs to Him. The question is not whether the power is there. It is whether we will learn to rest in it. Interested in creating something new with us!? Take Our Newsletter Survey!
