Your Dreams can live Again!

Almost everyone in America can tell you what Easter is about. They know Jesus died on a cross and many believe He rose from the grave, some don't. The Bible says in James that the devil even believes this. It goes on to say that just believing this does not make you a Christian. While most can tell you something about Jesus' death and resurrection, they do not understand that resurrection can happen to dead things in our own lives. Dead marriages can be resurrected. Dead dreams, dead friendships, dead hopes can come back to life just like Jesus did. The bible says Jesus took back the keys to death, hell and the grave from the devil. That means the devil is not in control any longer IF we are willing to give Jesus the control of these situations. Jesus is not Santa Claus. His job is not to give us everything we can think of to make us happy. Jesus defeated the devil. The devil's job is to steal (our hopes, dreams and talents, etc.) from us and to kill (relationships, families, etc.) and to destroy (our lives). In other words the devil's job is completely opposite from Jesus job. Make sure you know the real meaning of Easter and put it in effect in your life and in the lives of those you love. If they do not see the truth yet pray that the blinders that are preventing them from seeing this truth be removed. Let's not be cheated out of all God accomplished when He rose from the grave. We get eternal benefits because of God's love and power. We can experience new life in what we believe was dead. The story that best shows this is Lazarus who rose from the dead after being in the tomb for 4 days. Most believe Jesus came back from the dead but you now have the privilege of having a Lazarus experience in your life with things that seem too dead to live again. How do you get this benefit? By believing that Jesus has come to give you abundant life as His child. This is serious and needs to be considered seriously but the benefits are getting your hopes, dreams and relationships back in the hands of the life giver. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge God and He will direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6
