The Power That Raised Christ From The Dead - Believe

These powerful words were recently spoken at a women's gathering and the sweet lady who wrote them gave me permission to share them with you.  The words resonated with me.

 

Come Awake.  Awaken to the needs around you and to a world begging to be seen.  

You have the power to breathe life into lungs that are weak.

Believe!

 

Today, may you be reminded that the same power that raised Christ from the dead

is available to you! To empower you to live for Him!

 

The Power by Alexis Shipman 

 

 

 

After believing comes the healing

And the promise of a king

To grow roots that run deep.

 

 So come awake,

 Breathe of glory

Breathing life into lungs that are weak.

 Death brought to life by the power of majesty.

 

 

Marked, branded by the one

Forever scarred with the mark of the cross

The call

By his will, his choice, his desire

To live through the life of these sinners

 What does this mean for our sisters,

For our loved

 for a world begging to be seen?

 The power that raised flesh from the dead,

What does it mean?

That made white of something red,

Dwelling in me?

 

 

The power of the throne

Alive in this heart

Breathing….pulsing

We must believe

This gift

Our new identity

Death brought to life

Marked

Now alive

The power of a cross

The power of the thrones of heaven

To move the mountains of the earth

Believe

That raised up death from the grave

And created from dust

Believe

Building a foundation for us to stand up

For us to rise up

And move forward

Believe,

Believe

 

 “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realm.”
