Philippians 3:10,
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
You realize Jesus of Nazareth is not Who you are to know. Who is Jesus of Nazareth? He is our Lord that walked the earth over two thousand years ago, and did all things that were prophesied he would do and more. But that is not who you need to know. Oh the history and how he healed and handled people and went about his daily life are very interesting. To connect the types and shadows of Old and New is quite exhilarating but at the same time that is not the Christ You need to know.
You need to know the Christ in you, why is that? Because as our text says the HolySpirit is teaching us the power of his resurrection. Have you ever heard it said the reason Jesus called Lazareth by name because he would have resurrected the whole tomb if he wasn't specific in who came forth. There is so much power involved we have to be taught by the HolySpirit to have an understanding and live accordingly. For your life and others around you. Nothing worse than being around someone who has been in the Lord for some time and they still live in fear of everything especially death. We stay glued to a television watching mayhem and murder in the world, doors locked, guns by our sides. Fear gripes those that have no idea of ressurection power, fear is in the root of the sin nature. All violence comes from fear, evil comes out of fear.
Every believer will be healed everytime except the last time. The ressurected Christ lives in believers with ressurection power, you need to know him and his ressurection power. You may go to the brink of death and he will heal you. No matter how it happens Christ will always be your healer. We don't know him like that, when we are sick or a loved one or a friend. We Should pray the Lord minister to them, we do not know the Lord's will, it may be time for them to go. Don't pray for the Lord to heal them, if he is keeping them here he will heal them, pray they are ministered to through the process of the Lord working out his ressurection power.
There in lies the power, what was the power we were to recieve from the outpouring of the HolySpirit? The power is in the understanding and knowing Christ in you. When the HolySpirit comes Jesus said "he will teach you me." Having the ressurection power in you is a lifestyle you live. You are alive, you live life not moved by every wind of doctrine or anything that happens around you or in the world. Free from the fear of man, "fear him who has power over both body and soul. We don't fear what man can do we are free, delivered by the ressurection power of Christ in you the hope of glory. Amen and Amen!
