Are we spiritually dead...?

John 11:25-26, 40 NKJV

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.  And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”

Shalom! Day #331. Do you know that many of the believers are dying spiritually? Let's pray. Father, today we stand before You, come and resurrect us from our spiritual death that we may be alive once again and the we may live to see Your glory. We need Your breath to breathe into our spiritual being and revive us once again. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Today, Jesus saying to us that, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. Many of us. As believers of Christ, many of us are spiritually dead. We are like this Lazarus, dead and was revived again. To enable our inner man to be alive once again, we must come back to our source of life, Jesus Christ. Outwardly we may seem to be good, doing well, yet the inward man is either dying or already dead. When we are hungry, we feed out stomach. If our spirit is hungry and thirsty,  then we must constantly feed our spirit by coming to God daily in prayer and communion! Outwardly our body may be healthy and putting on weight, yet inwardly our spirit is getting thinner and thinner because lack of spiritual supplement!

A healthy spiritual living leads to witnessing His glory through your life!

1. Jesus is the resurrection and the life
⊙ if you are feeling spiritually dry, dead and lazy, it means we aren't taking time to come to God daily.

> We must come to God first.  Mary came running to Jesus for the life of Lazarus. If we are feeling something is not right in our spiritual life, we need to come quickly to God. And He will resurrect, revive and restore us once again!

2. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.  And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.
⊙ if you are dead spiritually, there is one key to be alive and never die.

> Jesus said that HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME. It takes a mustard seed faith to trust and believe in God. The key is when you are dry and dead, as you come daily before God to be fed spiritually, being empowered is one thing and to continue to trust and believe in Jesus is another thing. You cannot stand before God with an unbelieving heart. Therefore even if you are spiritually dead, but you believe in Him and come to Him, then He is able to resurrect your inner man and shall never die. You must believe first! Do you believe this?

3. If you would believe you would see the glory of God!
⊙ you can be the instrument for God to unleash His glory to this world.

> Through Mary's faith in Jesus, God created a miracle and through Lazarus God unleashes His glory to the people around there. Lazarus was the living prove of God's miracle and glory! If only, oh yes... if only you would believe! Whenever you come to God in repentance, allow Him to empower you and resurrect you as He breathes into you. His breath can cause a massive revival in you and through you. And you will be His instrument of His glory to be made known!

So are you spiritually dead and dry? Come to God,  He is able to revive you, resurrect, restore you and use you for His glory!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
