Day 4: Death Cannot Hold You

Rising With Hope · With Hope · April 4, 2026

Scripture
But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. — Acts 2:24 (NIV)
Acts 2:24

Peter said it was impossible for death to keep its hold on Jesus. Death thought it had won. The grave thought it had the final word. But death does not get the final word — God does. And the same power that freed Jesus from death's grip is at work in you. Whatever has a hold on you — fear, addiction, shame, bitterness — it does not have to keep its hold. The power of the resurrection is greater than the power of anything that holds you captive.

Prayer

Lord, death could not hold Jesus, and I declare that sin and fear cannot hold me. By Your resurrection power, I am free.
