We are partaker, sharers in His Resurrection.
Col. 3:1: "If then ye have shared in Messiah's resurrection."
You see, we were raised together with Him in the mind of Justice.
We possess resurrection ability.
You doubt it? Read Acts 1:8: "But ye shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you."
Eph. 3:20: "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or think, according to the power (or ability) that abideth in you."
If that doesn't make supermen out of common men, then the English language cannot convey God's thought.

Power of Attorney 12/19 Thursday thoughts
You see what we have now?
We have the power of attorney to use the Name of Jesus; and all authority in heaven and on earth is invested in that Name . . .
This believer, this new creation, is a child of Deity.
He stands before the world as a very branch of the vine.
He is taking Jesus' place in the world.
And if this isn't a superman, then I don't know the meaning of the term.
The Church has kept this "Samson" imprisoned by false teaching and by creeds and doctrines. They have not only held him a prisoner to their philosophies and dogmas, but they have actually put out his eyes.
But the Father is going to restore sight to him and break the bonds that hold him.

Believing Ones 12/28 Wednesday wisdom
Mark 9:23: "All things are possible to him that believeth."
The word "believeth" means "a believing one."
There were no "believing ones" in the time while Christ was preaching. They were Jews under law.
The "believing ones" came into being at Pentecost.
It meant a believer, a New Creation Man.
The new creation man is a partaker of God's nature.
He is really an Incarnation. He has received the nature and life of God.
Then he invites the Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead, who came on the day of Pentecost, to make His home in his body.
This man not only has God's nature, but has God actually living in him.
If this doesn't constitute a superman, then I don't know what a superman is.

The Mighty One is in me. 12/17 Tuesday truth
I want you to say in the morning, "That mighty One is in me. He can put me over today. I can face any emergency. I can do all things in Him because He is my strength."
I can hear Him whisper, Isaiah 41:10: "Fear thou not for I am with thee. ("I am in thee.") Be not dismayed for I am thy (Father) God. I will strengthen thee; yea, I will uphold thee; yea, I am today all that you need: your helper, your wisdom, your strength, your ability."
You see, it is not what I should be. It is not what I can be.
It is what I am in Christ.

May It Be 12/24 Christmas meditation
from AllWorship.com newsletter (a great place to get Christian music 24/7/365 on the internet)
Wishing you all a blessed Christmas.
The next meditation will be posted Monday evening for Tuesday.
MAY IT BE
Mary was a young girl who was pledged and chosen to be married to a man named Joseph. She had never been intimate with a man; she was a virgin.
One day the angel Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God (Luke 1:19), appears to Mary and gives her a word from God. Mary is told that she will conceive a child by the Holy Spirit--and that child will be the Messiah!
Now remember, first Mary is seeing and hearing an angel. Then, this angel tells her she will carry The Messiah for Israel and all of mankind, and she is a virgin! Mary questions how this could happen and then does an extraordinary and important thing: she accepts The Word and says, "May it be to me as you have said."
Young Mary decided that she would believe and agree with The Word she heard, and she sealed it in faith and history by speaking that she received it! Mary had to speak by faith that she would receive The Word, carry The Word, and birth The Word given to her.
Mary lived in a culture that if an unmarried woman was found to be with child, she could be stoned to death by law. She would have to face her Jewish family and neighbors that were totally against what appeared to be--that Mary had been sexually promiscuous.
And Mary also had Joseph; what would he think of her? As a holy man, he would not want her anymore, for it looked as though Mary had been with another. Try explaining being pregnant without being sexually active! Who would believe you?
Yet with all that was against Mary, she did what God wants us to do today--receive what He has said, believe it and speak that it is happening to you! God needed Mary to believe what His messenger told her. She and Joseph were destined to be the earthly parents of Jesus.
Mary had a decision that day. She decided to not let the circumstances and conditions that surrounded her make her decision for her. Mary got pregnant with the Word of God that was told to her. And The Word (Jesus) became flesh and dwelt among them, and still is today! (John 1:14)
You and I must believe and receive The Word of God concerning us! Let it grow in us and then finally birth in the flesh, in the natural, what is spoken. Friends, receive, believe and speak what has been spoken and promised to you! Even if your body, your doctor, and everyone around you is screaming, "that is impossible!" Remember, God will even do something that has never existed before to keep his Word--even make a virgin pregnant!
Always remember Mary and what she faced--the opposition, ridicule, conflict and pressure. Think about the impossible thoughts she had to overcome that her body would even do what God said it would do! Defeat the enemy every time when he lies to you and tells you that God and His Word are not working for you.
Nothing is impossible with God. Absolutely nothing!
Say it out loud with confidence no matter what it looks like: "May it be to me as you have said."

Happy Hannukah! 12/22 Thursday thoughts
I usually break from the traditional quotes on Jewish holidays to do some teaching on the meaning of Jewish holidays to Christians today.
Hannukah (Chanukah) began at sundown Tuesday, December 20, and continues for eight nights.
Chanukah is a beautiful holy day which was celebrated by Y’shua (Jesus) Himself. . . This holy day is prophetically mentioned in the book of Daniel.
Most surprising to both the Jewish and the Christian communities is that the clearest mention of Chanukah in the Bible... is in the Fulfilled Covenant (the New Testament) ! "Then came Chanukah in Jerusalem. It was winter, and Y’shua was walking around inside the Temple area, in Solomon’s Colonnade" (John 10:22–23). . . The people who do not normally celebrate Chanukah have the most explicit reference to it in the Fulfilled Covenant! This brings us to the core reason why Believers in Messiah Y’shua might want to understand and celebrate this holy day. The Messiah celebrated it!
Not only did Y’shua celebrate Chanukah, but He observed it in the same Temple that had been cleansed and rededicated just a few generations earlier under the Maccabee brothers.
Many Jewish scholars see a deeper spiritual meaning to Chanukah. . . Because Chanukah is a celebration of deliverance, it has also become a time to express Messianic hope. Just like the Maccabees were used by YHWH to redeem Israel, perhaps the greatest redeemer—the Messiah—would also come at this time!
With this understanding, we more fully appreciate the scenes that unfolded as Y’shua celebrated the feast 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem. Amidst the festivities, Y’shua was approached by some rabbis who asked a simple question: "How much longer are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us publicly" (John 10:24). The answer to this very appropriate question is contained in Y’shua’s fundamental Chanukah message. He clearly reiterates His claim and the proofs of His Messiahship as can clearly be seen in John 10:25–39.
(quoted from Hebrew Roots Teaching Institute, a Facebook group)
Hannukah celebrates the miracle of lights. Its enduring meaning is that God still does miracles!
The closing of the candle-lighting prayer reads: "We kindle these lights for the miracles and the wonders, for the redemption and the battles which You performed for our forefathers in those days at this season. . . During all eight days of Chanukah these lights are sacred and we are not permitted to make ordinary use of them but only to look at them in order to express thanks and praise to Your great Name for your miracles, your wonders, and your salvation.

Resurrection Power 12/21 Wednesday wisdom
The ability of God that was exercised in the resurrection of Jesus belongs to the believer today.
Notice Eph. :19-20. Let me give you a somewhat free translation. "I want to show you what is the exceeding greatness of the ability of God on our behalf who believe. It is according to the working of the strength of his might which he wrought in the Christ when he raised him from the dead and made him sit at his right hand."
We have never grasped the significance of this.
The Father has given to us the ability that He exercised in the resurrection of Jesus.
Then we who have received Eternal Life have in our possession today the resurrection power or ability of God. . . .
It is no idle thing to have God in you.
