Indwelt by the Spirit
“However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.” — Romans 8:9 (NASB 1995)
You are not who you used to be. If you belong to Christ, His Spirit lives in you—not beside you, not around you, but in you.
That means you are no longer powerless against sin. You no longer live according to old patterns. The Spirit of Christ now dwells in your very being to lead, correct, and comfort.
Let that truth anchor you today. You belong to Jesus—and the evidence is the Spirit within.
Reflection:
Do you live with the awareness that the Spirit of God dwells in you? How might that change your reactions, speech, or focus today?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, thank You for making my heart Your home. Help me walk worthy of Your presence. 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.
