Resurrection Reflections: A New Beginning
Author: Faith Mukarugwiza
The fact that Christ died such an atrocious, painful death on the cross, and still carried the power of forgiveness into His final breath—for us—reminds me of the greatest love of all. His Spirit, the all-powerful Spirit of the Living God, now dwells within us.
That means I am truly convinced—we are fully equipped, empowered with the very power of Jesus Christ Himself. To perform miracles. To love like He loves. To give freely, abundantly, and selflessly, just as He gives to us every single day.
And what else does this mean? It means that in Christ, we are not timid. We are not weak. We have not been given a spirit of fear—but of power, love, and a sound mind! (2 Timothy 1:7).
As I sit with this truth on this holy day, two spirits rise up in me:
The spirit of forgiveness and love for others.
And the shield of faith, guarding my heart and fueling my trust in Him
I ask you—what spirit rises in you today?
Can you discern it?
And what spirit do you want to see rise in you in the days to come?
A Heart of Gratitude
I am deeply grateful for the gifts of spiritual discernment and the ability to recognize and direct the movement of spirits—gifts graciously given to me by our Mighty Savior because I am continuously seeking him. I thank God that I now have the wisdom and freedom to prepare anointing and healing oils, tools through which His supernatural gifts are exercised.
I am grateful for the gift of prophecy, which I now walk in with confidence, and for the revelations He continues to pour out—gifts I did not have when I first surrendered my life to Christ in 2019. That encounter was nothing short of supernatural, a true effectual calling.
Lord Jesus, You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life—yes, that is true!
My heart overflows with thankfulness. I am blessed. I am anointed. I am highly favored. All because of the mighty price You paid—because of Your sacrificial love.
Abba Father, I thank You for Christ, and for leading me to a church where I can freely walk in the ministry You’ve placed on my heart—a Ministry of Inclusion for those with special needs, and a calling toward evangelization.
What a gift!
I’m forever grateful for the cross—for Your sacrifice. And even on days when our feet cannot carry us into a physical church building,
Your presence lives in us. The Body of Christ is alive, powerful, and dwelling within us always.
Today, as I reflect on the resurrection day, I cannot stop by think that We may already be four months into the calendar year, but Resurrection Day is a fresh reminder: we can daily die to the flesh, to our sinful nature, and allow the Spirit of our gracious, loving God to rise within us—renewed, radiant, and victorious.
All for His glory.
