Resurrection in the Here and Now
Living in Resurrection Power: Are You Still Trying to Do It Yourself?
In this sermon, Pastor David Wilkerson shows how believers can experience resurrection power today, not just in eternity. The same Spirit that raised Jesus dwells in us now, but we must understand what it means to be "dead" in Christ—recognizing our helplessness and embracing complete dependence on God. True power comes when we stop trying to overcome through our own strength and fully rely on Christ.
Key points:
- The "old man" thinks he can overcome through his own efforts
- The "new man" admits "I can't do it myself, but I can through Christ"
- Being "seated in heavenly places" means settling the issue of trusting God completely
- Our flesh will always resist God, but we can turn away from it to Jesus
- Resurrection power flows when we exchange striving for dependence
The message is clear: God isn't waiting for your perfect performance but your complete surrender. When you quit struggling in your own strength, His resurrection power transforms your life.
