“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses…”
— Acts 1:8a, NASB1995
Real Strength Isn’t Loud
Power today is loud, self-promoting, and usually fake. But the power Jesus promised is different.
It’s holy. Quiet. Unshakable.
When the Holy Spirit fills you, He gives you boldness to share the gospel, strength to stand apart, and love that doesn’t quit—especially when your peers don’t get it.
The early Church wasn’t influential—they were empowered.
You don’t need to be popular. You need to be filled.
Reflection:
What kind of power do you rely on most—God’s, or your own?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, I need Your power to live differently. Use me to show who Jesus is, even if it costs me comfort or status. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.

● I don’t have a budget for an editor, publisher, or team behind the scenes. Everything you see here is created prayerfully and paid for out of pocket, using the tools I can afford to help present a clear, polished message of truth and hope.
