His Power and Yours

"Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in a new way of life" -- Romans 6:4 / Holman Christian Standard Bible
 

When you invite Christ to rule over your heart, you avail yourself of His power.  And make no mistake about it:  You and Christ, working together, can do miraculous things. In fact, miraculous things are exactly what Christ intends for you to do; but he won't force you to do great things on His behalf.  The decision to become a full-fledged participant in His power is a decision that you must make for yourself.
 

The words of John 14:12 make this promise:  when you put absolute faith in Christ, you can share in His power.  Today, trust the Savior's promise and expect a miracle in His name.
