The New Normal.
We’ve heard a lot over the past year about “the new normal.” It seems that it has become a catch all phrase for the oppressive, grim and heavy handed turn governments and societies have taken when faced with various cultural crises. Pandemics, mandates, racial tensions, riots, escalating violence, “fact-checkers”, corrupted elections, corrupt public officials and institutions have all been lumped into a catch phrase “new normal.”
It’s a lie from Satan.
You see this false “new normal” is actually the old normal. The real new normal was established by Jesus Christ when He rose from the dead. His resurrection changed the rules. Death is defeated. The power of sin is defeated. Bondage is broken. Liberty and freedom are now realities that Christ’s death and resurrection make possible.
Not only are liberty and freedom now possible through Christ, His resurrection power resides in the life of every born again believer. Romans chapter 8 makes clear that the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead now dwells in us. What is it exactly that we are to be anxious about? Death itself has been defeated and we have been made partakers in that victory. Resurrection power lives in us!
We are triumphant in Christ. Stop fearing the old normal, because Jesus Christ is the new normal. Let that knowledge change how you pray. Pray with the confidence that Father God hears and is desiring to give you what you ask for. Pray from the position of victory.
God bless.
Heaven waits in eager anticipation of your prayers.
