Day 3: The Spirit's power raises believers into new life.
You are not left to mere imitation or your own willpower; the same Spirit who raised Jesus now lives in you, and resurrection power is your present resource—so change your language from “living for Christ” to “living in Christ” and begin today to depend on the Spirit to energize and direct one specific area where you have been striving in your own strength. [01:17:01]
Romans 8:11 (NIV)
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 because of his Spirit who lives in you.
Reflection: Identify one area where you have relied on willpower instead of the Spirit; pray right now and ask the Spirit to empower you to face one specific test today (name it), and tell one accountability partner you will follow up with about how it went.
