Unstoppable GodSample

“My testimony, from death to life, You fill me up with Holy Fire!”

You are a story. Did you know that? 

You are waking up today to continue that story. Everything in your past has already been written, all the things that have happened, good and bad, make up the pages of your story. My story includes heartache - lots of it - but it includes joy as well! I’ll bet yours does too. 

Yet today, what I really want to tell you is that your story is not even close to being over. Even though you may feel like Lazarus, finished, lying in your grave, no hope, no life, no joy; your salvation is on its way! 

Can you hear His footsteps? He stands outside your grave with tears in His eyes. There is no love greater than His, there is no power greater than His! He does not fear death, nor your circumstances. He is getting ready to speak; anticipation fills the air.... 

Then He says your name! 

He says it with full knowing - knowing your past, pain, fears. He says your name like a Father would; but not an earthly Father who is subject to prejudice or favoritism or selfishness. No, He says it like a perfect Father would. 

At first you feel a struggle, as though your dead bones are trying to fight against the limitless power in His voice. How can He love you so much? How can He understand you so much? How does He know you so well? 

Your soul is now stirring within you, a soul that hasn’t felt in so long. Your eyes are filling with tears, but not from sadness, from the overwhelming realization that He wants you to be alive! 

He is making you new, changing you from the inside out! Not because He has to, because He loves you with an everlasting love!

Leap from your grave!

Be alive in Christ! 

Let His Holy Fire wake up those dry bones!

Like Lazarus!

Today may you understand that your testimony is still growing, being shaped daily. New life, new bones, with a new song. 

Your story is just beginning!
