“The Spirit Doesn’t Make Stuff Up”
📖 “For He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak…”
—John 16:13b (NKJV)
In a world full of influencers, opinions, and spiritual “hot takes,” it’s easy to get confused about who to trust. But the Holy Spirit is different—He doesn’t freestyle truth.
Jesus said the Spirit would only speak what He hears from the Father. That means everything He speaks to your heart—whether conviction, comfort, or direction—lines up with God’s Word and God’s will.
The Spirit doesn’t hype trends. He humbles hearts.
He doesn’t speak noise. He speaks truth that leads you to Christ.
So how can you tell if the voice you’re hearing is the Spirit? Start here:
Does it agree with Scripture? Does it glorify Jesus? Does it point you to righteousness?
If the answer is yes—you’re learning to recognize His voice.
Challenge:
Ask the Holy Spirit to help you test what you hear this week—online, in class, or even in your own thoughts. Compare it with God’s Word before believing it.
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, thank You for only speaking what is true. Teach me to hear You clearly, and give me the wisdom to follow Your voice, not the world’s. 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.
