No Problem Too Big

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. Romans 8:10–11 (KJV)

If you have made Jesus your Saviour, God’s Spirit lives in you. Romans 8:11 says that the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you, and He quickens your mortal body. This isn’t just talking about physical healing, although it certainly includes that. It’s talking about you as a whole. God’s Spirit in you makes you alive with joy, life and peace. He fills you with strength and ability to overcome every situation you face. Yet, do you sometimes feel stressed?

Stress is no small problem. Stressed-out people have been known to turn to drugs, alcohol and promiscuity, looking for relief from their stress. They often blame others for how they feel… but no one really has the ability to stress you out. Stress is your response to a difficult circumstance. The problem is not the circumstance; it’s your reaction to the problem.

As long as you live on this planet, you’re going to deal with problems. Having a relationship with Jesus doesn’t keep problems away, but it definitely helps you to solve them faster. Jesus gives you the ability to overcome every problem with confidence and a sense of peace.

When facing difficult situations, you can remain calm and enjoy life. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. With Him, you can do all things!
