Scripture:
“God destroyed the cords of death and raised him up, because it was impossible for death’s power to hold him prisoner.”
Acts 2:24 TPT
Observation:
Peter was preaching after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost and he said that God destroyed the cords of death and raised Jesus up. He said it was impossible for death’s power to hold Jesus prisoner. Even death’s power was not powerful enough to hold Jesus. Nothing, including death, can stop what Jesus wants to do.
Application:
If God raised Jesus from the dead after three days, what is He incapable of doing? What is too difficult for God? If death could’no hold Him prisoner, then the issues of our lives can’t hold us prisoner either. Our faith cannot be in ourselves or others, but in His mighty power. He can do whatever is necessary to change my situation. All authority is His and all power is His. We serve the all-powerful God who cannot be defeated, even with death.
Prayer:
Lord, increase my faith in You more and more. Help me to walk with You daily and to hear Your voice at a greater level. Help me to never give up too early on what You want in my life. You bring people back, even from the grave. Nothing can stop You. Help me to see that more clearly every day.
Your Son,
Jeff
