Hebrews 12:1-2 - " Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us..."

God has called us to rule and reign with Him now while we are on earth and when we inherit Heaven, too. We are called to be the Bride of Christ.

Because of the Living Water flowing out of our life, our life affects eternity through our involvement in His Kingdom and the people we influence and equip for Christian service.

"His power at work in us who believe. This power in us is the same as the mighty strength which He used when He raised Christ from death...." - Ephesians 1:20

We need to know our Christ identity so we will experience the power that is flowing through us and our authority over sickness, distractions, or other issues of life. We must war for the Kingdom of God rather than be distracted by noise from the camp of the enemy which is built upon self, idolatry and self gratification.

We have resurrection power attached to our prayer life!  We can look to things that are absolutely dead and pray forth eternal LIFE! The same power in us is the same potency God demonstrated when He raised Jesus out of the grave.

We can pull on the hope of the future, the future's accomplishment, and bring it into the present; even in our lack or despair over our barren state, we can be glad! Isaiah told the barren woman to break forth into singing (Isaiah 54:1-3) , to rejoice over her barrenness as though she had many children: "Sing...break forth into singing."
