One of the statements we often hear is that we must admit that we are powerless over our loved ones choices. And while that is definitely true...
The truth is that we are not powerless.
These verses say is that YOU have the same power in you as Jesus did when he was raised from the dead. Do you understand that?
That power can give you strength, peace, joy, love and my favorite....FREEDOM. Believe it! Walk in it. You are POWERFUL!!! You can do ALL things through Christ who gives you strength and lives in you!
And this same power is available to our loved ones. It is ours for the asking. My prayer today is that each of us would recognize how much power we really do have and simply ask, “Lord I need you. Fill me with you.”
February 24, 2019 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Romans 8:9-11 MSG [10-11] It stands to reason, doesn't it, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, he'll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus, bringing you alive to himself? When God lives and breathes in you (and he does, as surely as he did in Jesus), you are delivered from that dead life. With his Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ's!
Father God, we thank you that in You there is hope and life. Lord, it stands to reason...that if You, the alive-and present God who raise your son from the dead moves into (our loved ones) life, that we trust that You will do the same thing for (our loved one) that You did in Jesus...bringing (him/her) alive unto You!!! God, when you live and breathe into (our loved one) as surely as you did in Jesus, we believe (he/she) will be delivered from death to life!! With Your Spirit living in (our addict) (he/she) will be ALIVE as Christ's! Lord, we wait expectantly for that day to come soon with trust and hope! We pray this in Jesus Holy Name! Amen
