“The Spirit Is the Difference”
📖 “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.”
—John 6:63 (NKJV)
Let’s be real—reading the Bible without the Holy Spirit can feel like reading a textbook: dry, confusing, or boring.
But when you invite the Spirit to teach you, suddenly something clicks. Verses hit differently. You see Jesus clearly. You feel convicted, challenged, encouraged, alive.
Jesus said the flesh—our natural strength, effort, or understanding—profits nothing. It’s the Spirit who gives life.
Trying to follow Christ without the Holy Spirit is like having a phone with no battery. You might have the right device, but you’ll never experience its power. The same is true in your walk with God.
Want your faith to come alive? Ask the Holy Spirit to bring the words of Jesus to life. That’s when everything changes.
Challenge:
Before you read Scripture or pray today, pause and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. Notice the difference.
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, I don’t want a dry faith. Breathe life into me. Help me know Jesus more deeply, and make His words come alive in my heart. 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.
