Crucified Passions, Risen Life
“Now those who belong to Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” — Galatians 5:24 (NASB 1995)
To belong to Jesus is to surrender your rights to the flesh. Not just the obvious sins—but the cravings, ambitions, and desires that once ruled your life.
This crucifixion is not a one-time event—it’s a daily decision. The Holy Spirit enables you to put the flesh to death so that Christ may live through you.
If you’ve been trying to tame the flesh, stop. It doesn’t need to be managed. It needs to be nailed to the cross.
Reflection:
Have I crucified my desires, or just kept them hidden?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, help me put to death anything that competes with Christ. I want to belong fully to Him. 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.
