RESURRECTION POWER
08th Apr 2026
We have just celebrated another Easter. We have probably had various events that have become our traditional way of marking this annual festival. So, what has it done for us? Have we grown in our faith? Have we experienced a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit?
I have been challenged as I have gone through this annual ritual, and as I have pondered this, a song came to mind.
Kelanie Gloeckner sings this song, which you can find on YouTube -
“Hallelujah, I am free, sin and death have no hold on me
We’ve got resurrection power flowing on the inside.”
So has the resurrection power of Jesus set you free from your past? Are you rejoicing in being forgiven and totally cleansed? Are you living in victory, as Jesus has defeated all the enemy's power? Are you rejoicing in the peace that passes understanding, bought for you by the death and resurrection of Jesus?
What about resurrection power flowing on the inside? For me, this happened when I was baptised in the Holy Spirit. I had been born again as a young child, and certainly knew that I had been accepted by Jesus and had received His forgiveness and salvation. But I still remember waking up the morning after I had been filled with the Holy Spirit, and the sense of the presence of God within me was wonderful and powerful, and it has never left me.
So my question to you as you embark on another year is this. Are you enjoying all the benefits that Jesus bought for you as He died and rose from the dead on Easter Day?
Are you living knowing that you have been forgiven, and guilt and shame have gone forever?
Are you living filled with God’s peace, as a present reality in your life every day?
Are you experiencing “resurrection power” each day as His Holy Spirit fills your life and empowers you?
