Arise!

When you make the death defying decision to rise up God Himself will help you and nothing will be able to hold you down. Die to self and sin and become alive to God. Let the old man and mentality that holds you down be crucified and done away with so that you can rise up to newness of life. Get rid of your old identity and identify with the Lord raised from the dead. See yourself alive with resurrection power. The same mighty power that God worked in Christ when He raised Him form the dead will also work in you to raise you up with Him “FAR ABOVE all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.” The power of the resurrection is effective over death and every other evil circumstance that may try to keep you down. God Almighty Himself who is alive forevermore also abides in you with the power of the resurrection. Make the decision to abide in Him and arise!

Eph 1:19-21
9 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
NKJV

Eph 2:6
6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
NKJV

Eph 1:19-20
19 And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength,

20 Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places],

Rom 6:1-11
6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
NKJV

Rom 8:11
11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
NKJV

1 Cor 6:14
14 And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.
NKJV

Rev 1:17-18
17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. 18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
NKJV
