The end of summer is coming. It does seem that there is a sense that we need to start gearing up for fall. One thing I know is that if we are not careful the rhythm of life is traded for busyness and even chaos. While we talk about salvation of the soul, we often fail to talk about salvation of our whole life . . . becoming immersed in the synergizing power of Christ . . . body, mind, soul, and the calendar.
Paul wrote in his letter to the Romans:
It is the power of God for salvation
to everyone who has faith,
to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
(Romans 1:16b, NRS)
Salvation power is Christ's healing power that synergizes all things together. It is a power that heals and transforms, requiring our choice to surrender to the indwelling power of Christ.
Are you experiencing the salvation power of Christ today?
Salvation necessitates an understanding of the need to be rescued and ultimately healed. We often fail to understand that Christ transforms everything about our life. The places we have stress or discouragement or anger or fear are the places we have blocked the power of God from touching and healing us.
Prayer or communing with God is an essential component of going to the deeper place of healing. The thing is . . . people often tell me that they are afraid to enter into healing prayer . . . which often comes from the fear of losing control with honest vulnerability. That said, we are released when we connect with the synergizing- healing power of Christ.
At the end of the day . . . we choose if we live . . . in the synergizing-healing power of Christ.
Make each summer day count . . . live in the synergizing-healing power of Christ.
Surrender your control to Christ’s power that rescues and heals.
Allow Christ to transform every area of your life.
Intentionally live in the synergizing-healing power of Christ. each day.
Learning with you to KICK START in the power of Christ.
