52 Prayers of Faith week 4 Faith is knowing Jesus Christ is risen from the Dead

Faith is knowing Jesus Christ is risen from the dead - Lord increase our faith

As we consider our life in Christ, we must BELIEVE that Christ is risen from the dead. If he isn't risen from the grave, we have no hope. We must have faith that Christ is in fact sitting at the right hand of the Father other wise He is just another religious leader killed by the powers that be. His resurrection is our promise that we too, who are his disciples, will rise from the dead and be seated in the heavenly realms with him.

The hope of our Resurrection gives power to our faith. "Oh death where is you sting" We need no longer fear death and as a consequence can live lives free from fear. Productive lives, filled with hope and joy in the face of persecution and our soon and coming death.


As always, I encourage you to say this week's prayer out loud, to contemplate it and to journal what the Holy Spirit is revealing to you, Take this to heart and never let anyone rob you of this hope.

Christ is risen from the dead - Lord, increase our faith!
