'But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you' (Romans 8:11).

No one can live the Christian life without the Holy Spirit. It's impossible! Without the Holy Spirit, Christianity would be another dead religion. The Apostles had to have the Holy Spirit; Jesus had to have the Holy Spirit; all of them in the early Church had to have the Holy Spirit. The same is true for us in our day; we must have the Holy Spirit.

Some believe the Holy Spirit is in us only to help us speak in tongues; no! He does much more in us, for us and through us. Consider for example what we read in our opening scripture: the Holy Spirit in you quickens'vitalizes'your mortal body. He gives life to your body. That means there shouldn't be death in any part of your body, because the Holy Spirit'the Spirit of life'lives in you. Hallelujah!

Many have chanted our opening verse in songs and quoted it in sermons but have never responded to it as they should. The Word always requires your response. Ponder it again: the Holy Spirit in you makes alive your mortal body. Your response, therefore, should be: my body is invigorated with the life of God. I live in absolute health in Christ Jesus. Amen.

God wants you to be bold and never afraid of death. Be like Paul, who, when he was bitten by a venomous serpent, wasn't moved. Others were waiting for him to fall down and die, but he shook the serpent into the fire. This was what he knew; he was conscious that nothing could hurt or harm the one in whom the Holy Ghost dwells.

Now that you're born again, you've been brought from humanity to eternity, which means you've become incorruptible, indestructible, and imperishable; you're not subject to failure, defeat and death! This should be your consciousness'a consciousness of life through the Spirit just as the Bible says that if Christ is in you, even though the body may be dead because of sin, the Spirit gives it life because of righteousness (Romans 8:10). Be eternal life conscious.

Prayer

Dear Father, I thank you for the victorious life you've given me. You've brought me from death to life and made me incorruptible, indestructible, and imperishable. I'm not subject to death or the destructive system of this world. I'm a partaker of your divine nature; eternal life is at work in me, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
