The same Spirit

“And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through His Spirit who lives in you.”Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭11‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

Think for a minute about the power that it took to raise Jesus from the dead. He had been in the tomb three days, but that was not a problem to the Holy Spirit. In Genesis we see Him hovering over the face of the deep. When God said, “let there be …” He moved. On this day the Father spoke and said, “let there be life!” ( or did He say, “Son come forth!”) And then the Holy Spirit entered the still body of Jesus and raised Him back to life.

This same Spirit indwells us as a down payment of our eternal salvation and life. The Holy Spirit resides in us awaiting the command. As we understand the authority given to us and begin to command He moves.

Although my body is groaning because it has been cleaning floor tiles, walls and inside cupboards for about 8 hours, after a sleep I will be refreshed, ready to begin again. Praise God!

Today I was visited by a delightful Chinese lady who wanted my pot plants, she was like an excited child. She also said she liked my inground plants and proceeded to pull some out. I didn’t mind as the plants she took are agapanthus. They propogate rapidly. She also raided my throwaway metal from the kerbside. She was fun! When she arrived home she messaged me to say thanks.

God is good! He provides. Amen!
