The Prayer Mantle


            [14] For this God is our God forever and ever: he will be
            our guide even unto death.

             SCRIPTURE IN FOCUS    Philippians 3:10 KJV
            [10]  That  I  may  know  him,  and  the  power  of  his
            resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being
            made conformable unto his death.

             SCRIPTURE EXPOSITION

            From the scripture above, we understand that Paul desired
            to know more about the power of the resurrection of our
            Lord Jesus Christ - power that is so potent to give life to
            dead situations and circumstances.  In Romans 8:11, the
            Bible says that “But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus
            from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from
            the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through
            His Spirit who dwells in you”.
            The  word  “quicken”  means  to  make  alive,  speed  up,
            accelerate,  step  up,  stimulate,  stir  up,  arouse,  rouse,
            waken, animate, activate, incite, galvanize, instigate,
            whet, inspire, kindle, fan, refresh, strengthen, invigorate,
            reanimate, reactivate, revive, revitalize, resuscitate and
            revivify.  The  spirit  that  caused  Christ  to  resurrect  is
            capable  of  raising  everything  that  is  dead  in  your  life.
            Situations that are practically dead will be revived to life
            when the power of resurrection comes upon you. Homes
            that are in ruins will experience joy again by this same
            power that raised Jesus from the dead. People that are
            spiritually  dead  can  be  made  spiritually  alert  by  the
            resurrection power. Armed with this knowledge, go to God
            in prayer.
