¹¹The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. [Romans 8:11 NLT]

¹⁰The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. [John 10:10 ESV]

Jesus desires to bring life to the dead things in your life.

¹¹Soon afterward Jesus went with his disciples to the village of Nain, and a large crowd followed him. ¹²A funeral procession was coming out as he approached the village gate. The young man who had died was a widow’s only son, and a large crowd from the village was with her. ¹³When the Lord saw her, his heart overflowed with compassion. “Don’t cry!” he said. ¹⁴Then he walked over to the coffin and touched it, and the bearers stopped. “Young man,” he said, “I tell you, get up.” ¹⁵Then the dead boy sat up and began to talk! And Jesus gave him back to his mother. [Luke 7:11-15 NLT]

¹³When the Lord saw her, his heart overflowed with compassion. [Luke 7:13 NLT]

¹⁵Then the dead boy sat up and began to talk! And Jesus gave him back to his mother. [Luke 7:15 NLT]

“Can these bones live again?”

“Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord!”

 ⁵This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again! ⁶I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’” [Ezekiel 37:5-6 NLT]
