“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses…”
— Acts 1:8a, NASB1995
Power for Purpose
This isn’t about personality—it’s about power.
Jesus didn’t send the Spirit so you could “feel spiritual.” He sent the Spirit to empower you to live boldly, witness faithfully, and endure joyfully.
We often forget that the same Spirit who hovered over the deep and raised Christ from the dead now dwells in us.
You don’t need to find the strength within. It’s already been given.
So rise in that power—not self-reliance, but Spirit-dependence.
Reflection:
What area of your life needs Spirit-empowered boldness today?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, fill me with Your power. Use me to be a faithful witness, not in might but in Your strength. 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.
