As Resurrection Day comes to an end, I’m just sitting here thinking about how faithful and how good God really is. If I can be honest, there were times I let my circumstances convince me I was a victim instead of victorious. And what I realized is… I gave people keys to my heart that they never earned. It wasn’t that they were taking something from me, I was the one giving my power away.
All day today I kept thinking about the fact that Jesus got up. And it made me realize there are some things we have to leave in that grave. You don’t have to look like what you’ve been through. You don’t have to live another day in torment. You don’t have to believe the lies that told you you were stuck.
Truth is, nobody was ever really in my way. It was what I perceived to be in my way. Because the enemy has no real authority, and no matter how many hits he throws, it is already written… he does not win.
So when I think about Jesus being beaten, tortured, and still choosing to give up His spirit, it reminds me that we have to be willing to die to something if we want to resurrect. Maybe today you’ve come to the end of yourself. Maybe today you realize life hasn’t gone how you planned. But what if the real battle wasn’t outside of you, it was the version of you you see in the mirror every day?
So maybe today you give yourself permission to lay it all down. The defense, the survival mode, the old story. And you step into one of the best years of your life. Speak life until it shows up. Speak peace until it settles. Speak truth until it becomes your reality. God’s Word does not return void, so apply it to everything until it becomes flesh in your life.
I’m just getting started. Beloved, speak like you know God hears you 🤍
