“But if the Spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” (Rom 8:11; KJV).

This is a verse that I have been confessing for years. It is almost unbelievable that we have the same Spirit in us that raised Jesus from the dead. It can’t get any better than that. That same power of the Holy Spirit brings us gifts of wisdom, words of knowledge, faith that goes beyond the faith we all have, gifts of healing, working of miracles, prophesy, discerning of spirits, tongues and interpretation of tongues (1 Cor 12:8-10).

That same Spirit can change us if we allow, so that the fruit of the Spirit develops in us: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Gal 5:22-23). Wow and double wow.

If you need healing in your body that same Spirit in you can bring healing. If you need self-control that same Spirit can bring it. If you need strength for your body, that same Spirit can bring strength. Whatever it is you need, that same Spirit can supply it. However, to just read about it is not enough, we need to believe and confess this word so that the power in it can have an effect on us.
