Coming Back To Life
I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me.” When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.” (John 11:42-44 ESV)
Born into a world of turmoil and grief with only one way to go and that is forward into life. That may sound hopeless to some but actually it is a very positive outlook on life’s journey. The knowledge of the of the Lord in your life keeps life as an abundant experience which is blessed and protected by His great love. The example set by Jesus in communion with the Father is absolutely the mirrored image we all should life on this earth. Knowing that God hears our prayers gives us confidence along the way. (1 john 5:14) Giving us courage and spiritual supply to meet our every need. (Philippians 4:19) We are witnesses to God’s glory and also to His miraculous work that He chooses o do through us according to our faith. A faith that is measured out to us by His Holy spirit and grows as it is sown into life and the experiences we have. The “more that conqueror” spirit reigns in our lives because of His grace which is gifted to us daily. How will they believe in Him if we are silent in our faith and afraid to accomplish the impossible while serving a God who can do all things. We are promised the the power that works with in us can ans will do exceedingly and abundantly more that we could ever ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20) The “dunamas” or explosive power of the Holy Spirit lives within us and we can do all thing through Him. (Philippians 4:13) Rendering our will to His and trusting on the promise of fulfillment which He has given to each of us.
Just what can He do in the midst of a viewing crowd. He can call out that which is dead and bring it back to life. The Lord asked Ezekiel if the bones in the valley could live… Ezekiel stated that only the Lord knows this answer. (Ezekiel 37:3) The offering of all trust to God will bring life to all your circumstances and ares where you may have thought they were finished. The enemy may be successful in convincing you that something has no life in it anymore and it should be forgotten and let go. But when the Lord speaks to that which is buried and wrapped up in your mind it will come back to life. Your ideas and your dreams may look stagnant but they are alive and waiting for the call of God. The hope that your have is alive and thriving as you move forward in your life. Keep a faithful prayer life and a listening ear to the voice of the Lord. When He calls out to your dreams and desires which will receive His breathe (Holy Spirit) upon them, they will rise up and walk out from the darkness of stagnation and despair. Yet they may seem lifeless but they are alive. Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. GOD, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer’s; he makes me tread on my high places. (Habakkuk 3:17-19 ESV)
He will speak to your heart to unwrap the dream and set liberty to it. The hopelessness that you may have felt was but for a moment for what He has created in you lives forevermore…
