Scripture: Shared by body of Christ

Romans 8:11 ... But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Exhortation:  (Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet)


God makes alive (quickens) our mortal bodies by HIS Spirit that dwells in us.

This is a continual process as long as we live on this present earth.


The Spirit that dwells in us, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Jesus, is called The Comforter ... (Jn. 14 & Jn. 16)

We are continually comforted by the Holy Spirit as disturbing situations and thoughts come on this earth.  One of the functions of the Holy Spirit is to remind us of everything Jesus has said.  (Jn. 14:26) As the Holy Spirit reminds us of scripture or dreams we are often comforted in this present life.  Instead of dwelling among the dead worldly people and all their ideas or in the ideas of our own minds, we are made alive from the dead by being reminded of the word of God on the issue at hand.

A few days ago, I was watching world news and I thought, "A person would really be troubled by this if he didn't know the Bible."

And so often when I am troubled and temporarily "walk among the dead" of this world in their thoughts, it is the Spirit that dwells in me that rises up to remind me of God's truth and makes me alive from those dead worldly people.

We are continually made alive to God as we walk on this earth.
