He Will Give Life To Your Mortal Bodies (the living word).

Scripture
Romans 8:11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

Devotion
Early one morning as I was reading the bible these living words jumped off of the page, “he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.” I didn't understand why they had come to life inside of me until 11:30pm that night. The call came in around 9:30pm that my sister in-law, had been admitted into the emergency room at the local hospital. She was admitted due to a drug over dose, the emergency room doctor had told her mom that she was in serious condition and very well may not live.

My wife was a nurse, as soon as we reached the emergency room she talked to the doctor and the nurses. She then explained to me the medical reasons why her sister wouldn't live. My wife was not a believer. As we sat outside, while she smoked a cigarette, the words I had read that morning came back to me so clearly. I told my wife that her sister wouldn't die but she firmly disagreed with me, telling me that I didn't understand medically what has happened to her body. I then shared my experience earlier that morning when I was studying and how God caused his words to come alive in my spirit. I shared God’s word with her stating, “ he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.” Suddenly, I felt a supernatural, God- given faith, arise inside of me. I knew that I had to get into her room and pray for her. A half hour went by and finally I was allowed to go into the room where she was unconscious. I laid my hand upon her and spoke God’s word with every ounce of faith that he had given me, “The same spirit that raised Christ from the dead will quicken your mortal body and give you live.” The tears streamed from my eyes. As I prayed this simple prayer, I felt a supernatural flow of compassion moving in the words that I had spoken. It was one hour later that we were allowed to enter the room again where she was propped upright and conscious. With a silly grin she looked at me and said, “hey preacher man it's good to see you.” she did not die.
God is amazing!

Ask the Lord to cause his word to come alive in supernatural ways in your life. Use your faith and trust God. Spend time with God by reading your bible often, so that God can speak to you too.
