Romans 8:11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. The power of resurrection, God's Holy Spirit, dwells in you if you have the new birth. He quickens our mortal bodies and thus makes us live as we should. That is living to please the Heavenly Father. However we cannot do this without knowledge. 2 Peter 1:4 And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires. The difference is made by knowledge: 2 Peter 1:5 In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, This knowledge is the knowledge of God, the more you learn of God by His Spirit, the more you bec...

Ephesians 4:8-9 That is why the Scriptures say, “When he ascended to the heights, he led a crowd of captives and gave gifts to his people.” Notice that it says “he ascended.” This clearly means that Christ also descended to our lowly world. What did Christ do for us, He came, He died and He rose from the dead. So what happened when Christ died? 1 Peter 3:19-20 So he went and preached to the spirits in prison— those who disobeyed God long ago when God waited patiently while Noah was building his boat. Only eight people were saved from drowning in that terrible flood. How did He do this? He had to bind the strong man of the house. Mark 3:27 "No one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house. Selah To set captives free: It was a battle that made Him declare when He arose: Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. We mu...

1Thessalonians 5:18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. The world we live in, is full ups and downs. We have goals, dreams and responsibilities, sometimes it could seem so overwhelming. To focus so hard on some issues could bring us down and affect us negatively. No matter what it is, Christ has taken care of it, we just enter into it. What do scriptures say? 1 Peter 5:7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. This we find difficult to do sometimes, we want to be part of the solution. It becomes an issue when we are not careful enough to listen to instructions. Our attitude should be that of thanksgiving, after we have cast our burden on Christ. In our patience we hear His instructions and see clearly to know what part to follow. For that which is most important for us here is life and good health, once He grants us these, the others He will yet do. Praise His Holy Name. So get out of that depressive thought, let go of the decis...

Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. One thing the resurrection power gave to us, is the mind of Christ. Remember that corruption begins with the mind. That is how the serpent deceived Eve: 2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. Our mind must be filled with the knowledge of the truth of God's word. We must know, believe and accept who we have become in Him. We must not accept captivity again. Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Our mind must be set on things above, on the Heavenly Father for we have been translated by the resurrection. Colossians 1:12-14 always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inh...

Luke 24:25-27 Then Jesus said to them, “You foolish people! You find it so hard to believe all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures. Wasn’t it clearly predicted that the Messiah would have to suffer all these things before entering his glory?” Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. Things really got messed up at the fall of man, for what man did was to reject God. From that time what God warned them of, befell them, death! Thus for man to get fruit out of the earth He had to toil. The position of authority was lost in the place of disobedience, such that animals who were at our command became a threat to us: Genesis 4:7 You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.” 1Samuel 13:14 "But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD h...

Philippians 3:20-21 But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under his control. We have not forgotten where we are headed, what we have become and to whom we belong. Our life does not end here. For though we do not see Him now, we know that we will see Him and also be with Him. Halleluyah So if we carry this truth in our heart we should be encouraged to live the type of life He wants us to live. Not in filth or carelessness but in the power of His Spirit. That when He returns we will receive His rewards. Some may say: "Is there anything to be worried about, no one can take our crown, it is already guaranteed?". The scriptures implies otherwise: Revelation 3:11  "Behold, I come quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. We ...
