APRIL 15 – DEVOTIONAL
Empowered by Resurrection: Rising To Speak Into Destiny
I believed and therefore I spoke… we also believe and therefore speak, knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up… — 2 Corinthians 4:13–14 (NKJV)
The scripture reveals that resurrection power is released through faith-filled words. What you truly believe must be spoken to manifest. The same power that raised Jesus is at work in you, bringing life where there was death.
Beloved, we are called not just to celebrate resurrection power—but to activate it when we speak. The Bible gives us examples like Ezekiel, who spoke to dry bones and saw them live again, and Jesus, who called Lazarus forth from the grave—validating resurrection power through confident, faith-filled words.
Just as Mary believed and declared, “Be it unto me according to Your word,” so must our declarations align with God’s promises—even when the outlook does not reflect it.
As we align our words with God’s truth, we release life, victory, healing, and restoration. Whatever looks dead in our lives —dreams, health, finances, or relationships—can rise again. No situation is beyond God’s reach.Praise God!!
Have a spirit-filled day, and may you and your family be encouraged to keep believing and speaking in faith, knowing that the same power that raised Jesus will raise you and everything concerning you. Shalom!
