IF THE DEAD CAN RISE
2 Corinthians 1:9 Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. (NIV)
The scriptures declare that our God raises the dead. When someone dies it seems it's all over, that nothing more can be done. It suggest that death is the final. But the Apostle Paul says in his letter in our theme scripture "we rely on God who raises the dead."
If the dead can rise then nothing shall be impossible. What men dread the most is death, and through the fear of death many are still held in bondage today. But this same death is powerless before our God.
Our Papa Abraham understood that God gives life to the dead.
Romans 4:17 As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed —the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.
How could life be given to the dead? Life and death are opposite, yet God gives life to the one who is dead. If this is possible, and of course it is, then nothing, absolutely nothing shall be impossible.
Lazarus was dead and buried for four days but Jesus went to his grave and gave him life. Think about that!
John 11:43-44 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let him go."
If anything died in your life it's time to give it life. It doesn't matter what stopped working in your life or stopped working for you, you can give life to it again. Anything is possible.
Mark 11:23-24 "Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ’Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
This above scripture just told us how to give life to anything that is dead. If you say to it "receive life" and do not doubt in your heart but believe that what you say will happen, it will be done unto you. Whatever you pray for, believe that you have received it and it will be yours because anything is possible.
PRAYER
Father I am grateful that in your Name the dead are raised, in your Name life is ministered, in your Name anything is possible. Today I declare positive changes in my life, family, and in the nations of the world. I proclaim life to anything dead in the lives many around the world, in Jesus' Name. Amen!
