Spirit vs. the World: Who’s Shaping You?
“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God.” — 1 Corinthians 2:12 (NASB 1995)
You’re being discipled by something—social media, music, influencers, school… or the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit of God wasn’t given to make us “better behaved.” He was given to make us spiritually aware, able to know what God has freely given: grace, purpose, identity, calling.
Don’t settle for shallow. You were made for spiritual depth.
Challenge:
What “spirit of the world” influences you the most? Choose one thing to fast from today—and ask the Holy Spirit to speak instead.Prayer:
Holy Spirit, I want to be shaped by You. Teach me to see what God has given me—and help me to let go of anything that drowns You out. 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.
