The Power of the Risen
Last week we began to talk about the power of the resurrection of Jesus in us. We understood that Jesus identifies with our suffering through the sacrifice of the cross and that we have to identify with Him in the victory of the resurrection. To preach the crucified Christ is only half the story, but we must preach the risen Christ to learn to identify with him in his victory.
IT ALL STARTS WITH AN EARTHQUAKE
Matthew 28: 1-7 "1Pasado the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcro.2Y there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.3Su appearance was like lightning, and his raiment white as nieve.4Y for fear of him the guards shook and became like dead .5Mas the angel answered and said unto the women, fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucificado.6No is here, he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he was laid Señor.7E go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead, and behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there you will see. Behold, I have told you. "
It says here that there was a great earthquake, but usually in traditional church when predicated of tremors and earthquakes is talk that comes judgment to the church, has a great view on the church on earth, the funny thing is that when I read the Bible, most of the time when he speaks of tremors and earthquakes, has to do with the presence of God in the lives to give them victory.
Exodus 18:18 "18Todo Mount Sinai smoked, because Jehovah descended upon it in fire; and smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. "
We understand that in life there are stones, which are the difficult circumstances that keep you behind them as dead, a broken marriage, a physical illness, a shortage economy, etc., that perhaps have sealed with the seal of failure, criticism, shame, fear or conformity, but understood that God put upon you a greater seal than the sum of all seals that the devil wants to put on you, God will put the seal of the risen, it is only a matter of time so you wake up, and I say that God will remove the stone, remove the seals and you will be lifted (a) of that place, do not worry about the how, God will.
Today I want to elaborate on the topic of your resurrection, talking to you as the power of the resurrection it is in you, so today's topic is entitled: The power of the risen. God's presence shakes up the mountains. Look at Peter saying:
Acts 4: 29-31 "29And now, Lord, look upon their threats, and grant unto thy servants that with all boldness they may speak your word, 30while stretch out your hand to heal and signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy child Jesus .31when had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke with boldness the word of God. "
When the Holy Spirit comes your life trembles. Look Paul:
Acts 16: 25-26 "25 But at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God; and the prisoners oían.26then suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened. "
It is inevitable when God gets into your life, your life begins to shake, but not for judgment, is to get up, is to come out of that prison, is to come out of the tomb, in this death, is because he will remove the stone that has been holding you back.
