The Upside-down Power

The Upside-down Power…

The power of the cross…think about it. An execution stake, a horrible vessel of torture and death that becomes a symbol of life and hope. Death turns into life.

The worst thing that can happen becomes the best thing. Here’s the worst sin, the crucifixion of God, yet it becomes the greatest act of righteousness that’s ever been. Here’s the ending of God’s life, yet it becomes the beginning.

The cross becomes a place of hope; the tomb, a place of new beginning. That’s the power of God. The power of Jesus is to turn everything upside down. The Apostle Paul was accused; the man who was turning the world upside down.

You have that power too. If you are in Jesus, you have the power to turn everything upside down, to turn your sorrow into joy, your setbacks into victory, your failures into triumph, to turn every bad thing into the blessing of God.

Use that power; the cross is the most revolutionary power in the universe. It’s the power for the Lord and in the Lord to turn your life and the world upside down.

But to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. 1 Corinthians 1:24-25

Ask God to show you the areas of your life that need restoring/healing and apply His power to them. Seek God to turn problems into answers, tears into joy, and endings into new beginnings.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
