The God Of The Living

This might help somebody. I wrote this some time ago by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

Mark 12

Marriage at the Resurrection

18 Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. 19 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children. 21 The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third. 22 In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too. 23 At the resurrection[c] whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”

24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. 26 Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

Our God is the God of the living. He Himself is the Life Force. That means that everything living flows forth from Him as the origin.

Job 33:4New International Version (NIV)

4 The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

So, if you are experiencing death in any form in your life it cannot be from God. He has no connection with the dead.

Did you notice that He turned His face away from Jesus at the point Jesus was going to experience death. He only turned back in association with Him at the point of resurrection.

Only Jesus experienced death but was still very active in death carrying out a preprogrammed set of actions that would release the option of Life to every one of us.

What does this mean for you?

It means as a child of God any situation hitherto classified in your life and that of your family members can easily be subjected to that test and pass it.

The widow of Nain subjected it to the test in Luke 7 and her son came out of death. Luke 7: 11 – 17

The Centurion subjected it to test, and his servant was healed before he got home.

Jairus subjected it to the test and his daughter came back alive

Blind Bartimaeus subjected it to the test and guess what, His eyes came back alive.

The woman with the issue of blood subjected it to the test and guess what, her evil blood flow stopped. Her health came back alive

Paul subjected it to the test in the book of Acts and guess what Eutychus Raised from the Dead at Troas

In Acts 3 Peter subjected it to the test and the lame man’s ankles took on life.

The widows in the Old Testament subjected it to the test and their poverty died and their prosperity resurrected.

You can simply put it to the test too and it will happen for you:

Romans 8:11New International Version (NIV) states

11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

Go ahead and try it.

Remember Mark 9:23 It reads: “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”
