Killing Sin Before It Kills You
“…for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” — centered on Romans 8:13 (NASB1995)
Culture says, “Do what feels right.” Scripture says, “Put to death the deeds of the body.”
You’re in a battle—and the Holy Spirit is your ally. He’s not here to shame you when you fall, but to empower you not to fall in the first place.
You can say no to lust. To anger. To gossip. To bitterness. Not by your strength—but by His.
Challenge:
Name one struggle. Ask the Holy Spirit for help. Then actively choose obedience today.
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, I can’t do this without You. Kill the sin that tries to rule me, and help me live in You. 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.
