Resurrection Life

Living the resurrection life, we are called to be Holy, to live a godly life. Some days this seems like an impossible task, yet he is with us in the very detail of our lives that can trip us up. Tune your hearts to God, he speaks to us through his word.

In John the words “truly truly” are said 25 times he is really wanting to tell us something important – we should listen, really pay attention. We need to let God sift our desires and requests and rest in his promises. If we fill our minds with God’s truth then we can wait for his Peace which will surely follow. Peace is God’s Umpire in our lives given to us by Holy Spirit – Listen to his guidance.

Protect your heart and be careful what you let into your mind. The process of Sanctification is ongoing and he is faithful and merciful. "He is Risen… “This is a declaration that death has been defeated, hope is alive, and God’s promises are true. As you walk forward in the light of the Resurrection, remember: Resurrection isn’t just an event that we celebrate once a year at Easter, it is a daily reality for those of us who are born of the spirit and have come alive in Christ.

For us, it is now how we live our lives. With hope in our hearts, we have the confident expectation of what God has promised and the Power and Strength in his faithfulness.
