Call It What It Is
“Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: sexual immorality, impurity, indecent behavior, idolatry, witchcraft, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these…” — Galatians 5:19–21 (NASB 1995)
The world glamorizes what God calls sin. But the Spirit doesn’t blur lines—He brings clarity.
Jealousy, lust, rage, pride, impurity—these aren’t just flaws. They’re works of the flesh. And they grow when ignored.
But here’s the good news: the Spirit doesn’t just convict you, He equips you to overcome.
Challenge:
Name one “work of the flesh” that you struggle with. Don’t justify it—confess it. Then ask the Spirit to help you kill it.
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, I don’t want to manage my sin—I want to be free. Confront what’s not from You, and lead me in truth. 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.
