Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Romans 6:4
As a believer, you actually have residing in you the same new life God gave Jesus when He raised Him from the dead. The old sinner you once were has died. You’ve become a new creation on the inside.
You are full of the resurrection life of God! But sin, disobedience and living a selfish, carnal life will keep that resurrection life from flowing out. Sin will separate you from the power of God, even though you’re born again. Resurrection life will lay dormant in you if you walk in sin.

Topic: Salvation Is Free [Billy Graham Devotional 30 May 2019]
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. — Romans 3:24
Salvation is free! God puts no price tag on the Gift of gifts—it’s free! Preachers are not salesmen, for they have nothing to sell. They are bearers of Good News—the good tidings that “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3). Money can’t buy it. Man’s righteousness can’t earn it. Social prestige can’t help you acquire it. Morality can’t purchase it. It is, as Isaiah said, “without money and without price.”
Topic: Tell the Good News [Kenneth Copeland Devotional 30 May 2019]
God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. – 2 Corinthians 5:19
Very few unsaved people today have ever really heard the “good news.” Why? Because too many Christians are busy telling the world God is mad at them. And telling them that they’re terrible and wrong. Some call that “good news,” but it’s not, and it’s not what God has commissioned us to share.
He’s given us the “word of reconciliation”!
He’s sent us to tell the news that God has restored harmony and fellowship between Himself and men. All men. Not just believers. Not just the people in your church, but everyone!
That’s right. The worst old reprobate sinner in the world is every bit as reconciled to God as you are. Look at Romans 5:10 and you’ll see what I mean. It says that “when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son.”

TOPIC: The Power of Prayer (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 29 May 2019)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 7-9; John 11:1-29
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Acts 4:24-31
MEMORY VERSE: “Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.” – James 5:17-18
The MESSAGE:
Prayer is one important asset God has given to man and it often said that ‘a closed mouth is a closed destiny’. Little wonder the Bible encourages believers to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). The Psalmist, having known the relevance of this important tool for his life fulfilment, cried out to God; “O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come” (Psalm 65:2). Biblical accounts and experiences of our time show that great things and truly all things are achieved through prayers. By prayers, the sea parted before Moses and Isreal, the sun stood still for Joshua; three nations perished before Judah when Jehoshaphat cried to God; God secured Judah against king Sennacherib when Hezekiah prayed in faith; the wisdom of Ahithophel became foolish for king David’s sake; Daniel was saved from the jaws of lions, Jesus called Lazarus out of the grave after four days, Peter was delivered from prison and all the expectations of the jews, and lots more.

TOPIC: DON’T HESITATE [KENNETH COPELAND DEVOTIONAL 29 MAY 2019]
He that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. – James 1:6-8
What happens when you hesitate to do something God has told you to do? Your adversary takes the first step. The devil gets the jump on you.
If you want to live by faith, hesitation is one of the most hazardous habits you could ever have. It comes from being indecisive. The Bible says a man like that is “unstable and unreliable and uncertain about everything he thinks, feels, decides” (The Amplified Bible).
Topic: A Tempting Offer [Joyce Meyer Devotional 29 May 2019]
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. — Matthew 4:1-2
After Jesus had gone through a 40-day fast, Satan approached Him with three tempting offers. The devil came to Jesus when he was weak and hungry.
It’s natural to assume that the Lord was physically weakened after being without nourishment for such an extended period of time, so, of course, the devil’s first offer involved food. If You are God’s Son, command these stones to be made [loaves of] bread (Matthew 4:3 AMPC).
Later Jesus performed several miracles that included food, such as changing a boy’s lunch into enough fish and bread to feed five thousand people and, at another time, to feed four thousand.
All of Jesus’ miracles were for the good of others. He never performed miracles for Himself or to satisfy any need of His own. That’s one major lesson we learn from His temptation.
