You Need Resurrection Power
By Rick Warren

“I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 1:19-20 (NLT)

You can’t tap into a greater power than one that raises a dead man to new life.

That’s the power that Jesus displayed on the first Easter. It was the most powerful event in the history of the world. And all of that power is available to you.

That’s right—you have access to the same power that raised Jesus from the dead 2,000 years ago. 

The Bible says, “I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.” (Ephesians 1:19-20 NLT)

Stop and think about that for a bit. Let that sink in. The power of the resurrection is yours for the taking. 

The Bible reminds us that the resurrection of Jesus comes with a promise: “By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also” (1 Corinthians 6:14 NIV).

Because God raised Jesus from the dead, your last breath on this earth won’t mean the end of your existence. 

You, too, can have resurrection power in your life. You don’t have to wait until your death to find new life. 

Maybe you need a resurrection of your energy. 

Maybe you need a resurrection of your marriage. 

Maybe you need a resurrection of your dream.

Humans can resuscitate. Only God can resurrect. Your dead energy, dead marriage, or dead dream can’t be resurrected on your own power. You’re simply not strong enough. 

Easter reminds us that God’s power is greater—far greater—than any problem you face today. 

It’s time you had Easter’s power in your life.
