Soul Praise – The Soaring Soul
Truly the greatest Day in history! The last five Easters have been in South Africa, however this time I was back just in time to celebrate Resurrection day with family. As we were singing both old and new songs on Sunday my heart exploded with joy joining with family to worship our Resurrected King. A day where death, the demonic, and darkness was overcome! A day when the stone was rolled away and Jesus walked out of the tomb and His eternal Kingdom broke forth!
Because of that Day we can join in with the Soul Praise of Psalm 103:1-5 and shout the victory for total forgiveness, inner healing, freedom from the dark power of sin, as we are crowned as sons and daughters of the King, and receiving Him as our soul satisfier, which leads to a life of where we can spiritually soar like eagles:
“You’ve supercharged my life so that I soar again like a flying eagle in the sky!” (vs. 5 TPT)
I hope this past Sunday your soul soared as you joined in with millions all over the world lifting up praise for Resurrection Miracles. One of those miracles is the new and everlasting life we share with Christ. As the text says, “You’ve supercharged my life,” or as another translation puts it “You’ve made me young again!”
For those who put their hope in the death and resurrection of Jesus they become forever young with the resurrection Spirit of Christ bursting forth in their souls. Or as the text says they “soar again like a flying eagle.” What a powerful picture of what it looks like to experience the gift of the resurrection with Jesus.
The prophet Isaiah expanded on this theme as He looked ahead to The Father’s Kingdom breaking forth in Christ’s Resurrection:
“But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary they shall walk and not faint.” (40:31)
The powerful breath of the Spirit of the Father that raised Christ to life that Sunday morning has been given to us. We are no longer chained to sin and death but we are carried by the Spirit of the Resurrected Christ to soar with supercharged power of a new Kingdom. Like an eagle we can fly to new heights and experience the supernatural love, peace, and joy of the Heavenly Kingdom and the hope of our own resurrection when He returns a second time.
After a glorious resurrection service we went outside of church and were given little packets which held butterflies. A beautiful symbol of the transformational new life given to all those who receive Jesus by faith. As we opened the packets the butterflies were released and took flight and were freed to be what they were created to be. It was amazing to watch hundreds of butterflies color the Colorado blue sky.
Keep on reminding your soul to praise your Savior for all the blessings given to you through the Resurrection so that your soul will soar as it was created to for the glory of your King!
“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His (resurrection) blessings…”
