Don’t believe the lie that the power has gone out. Don’t believe the lie that the power is ineffectual. How much more effectual can you get than Christ’s resurrection? Rely on that power. That power will give you the ability to do great things for God as He calls you to do them.

Thankful Thursday 7/6/17
