SCRIPTURE READING: LUKE 8: 41-56
FOCUS: “And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.” (Luke 8: 54)
MEMORY VERSE: “Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.” (Psalm 57: 8)
In our Focal Scripture, Jesus told the daughter of Jairus to arise. That girl had already died, but Jesus commanded her to arise. She had given up the ghost according to the report of men, but Jesus showed up and commanded her to arise. The chapter of her destiny had ended, but Jesus showed up and commanded her to arise. She that was dead was commanded to arise. She that had been taken by the spirit of death, was asked to arise.
Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: whatever the enemy wants to swallow in your life, I command it to arise. Whatsoever the enemy wants to decimate in your life, I command it to arise. Whatever the enemy wants to kill or has already killed around you, I command it to arise. I command dead gifts to arise. I command dead potentials to arise. I command dead opportunities to arise. I command dead organs to arise.
Death took out the daughter of Jairus, but Jesus showed up and commanded life to return. Jesus showed up, and reversed the impact of the spirit of death. Whatever damage the enemy has done in your life to the extent that things have died, I command the dead to arise. I command whatever the enemy killed in your life to come back to life. I command whatever that has been crushed to death in your life to receive life.
Even if what is dead has been in the grave like Lazarus, by that same power that raised Jesus from the dead, I command it to come back to life. Even if yours is similar to the dry bones in the valley, the same power that caused the dry bones to come together and receive life, is causing your dry bones to come back to life. Let your dead arise. Let whatever the enemy decimated arise again. Let your dead places arise again.
Welcome to that season where whatever is dead is coming back to life. Welcome to that season where whatever is dead and down is rising again.
