Kill the Flesh—Don’t Negotiate With It
“Now those who belong to Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” — Galatians 5:24 (NASB 1995)
You can’t belong to Jesus and keep pet sins alive. The cross calls for execution, not compromise.
If you’ve been trying to balance Christ and the flesh, today’s verse calls you to decide. Believers don’t tame the flesh—they crucify it.
The Holy Spirit gives the power to let it die and the courage to walk away.
Challenge:
What’s something you’ve been protecting that should’ve been nailed to the cross? Don’t excuse it—crucify it.
Prayer:
Spirit of God, I choose Christ. Kill the passions in me that lead away from Him. Teach me how to truly live. 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.
