The power of His resurrection is the spirit that took His dead body and brought it back to life. This is the same power that we should desire to have within us—the same power that raised Him from the dead will come into our souls and raise us up. When we allow this power to take control of our lives, self-destructive things such as unforgivene

God doesn’t force us to accept Him; He patiently waits on us to open up and receive Him in our hearts.   Anyone who has accepted the gift of salvation has access to: His grace is forever sufficient for us. His forgiveness stops us from dwelling on past mistakes because nothing can separate us from the love of God.  His peace, which passeth all understanding.   A place in heaven that would not have been possible if Jesus didn’t make the ultim
