THE SPRINGS

July 5 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. I will meditate in thy precepts, and ha

July 4 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:2 Who told you that your past still has the authority to define your future? Romans 8:2 declares that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death, reminding us that Discerning The Holy means recognizing when God has already broken chains that our minds are still carrying. What is High and Lifted Up is a life that r

July 3 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good

July 2 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Romans 8:6-7 What occupies your mind today is quietly shaping the life you will live tomorrow. Romans 8 teaches that a mind governed by the Spirit produces life and peace, while a mind ruled by the flesh leads away from God's best, reminding us that Discerning The Holy begins w

July 1 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Galatians 5:25 The Spirit is always moving, but the question is whether we are moving with Him. Galatians 5:25 reminds us that if we live by the Spirit, we must also keep in step with the Spirit, revealing that Discerning The Holy is less about occasional spiritual experiences and more about cultivating a daily rhythm of faithful obedience. What is High and Lifted Up is not racing ahead of God or lagging behind

June 30 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we a

June 29 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after

Series: DISCERNING THE HOLY "YIELD TO THE SPIRIT” PT II Galatians 5:16-18 (TPT) Year Theme: HIGH AND LIFTED UP BIG IDEA (For Everyone) Yielding to the Spirit always requires letting go. Most people think the Christian life is about trying harder. Paul teaches that it is actually about surrendering deeper. We cannot hold tightly to fear, control, selfish ambition, and old ways of living while expecting to fully experience the freedom and power of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes the

Series: DISCERNING THE HOLY "YIELD TO THE SPIRIT” PT I Galatians 5:16-18 (TPT)Year Theme: HIGH AND LIFTED UP BIG IDEA (For Everyone) Discerning the Holy is not simply learning to hear God's voice—it is learning to trust His leading. Every day, we face two competing influences: the desires of our self-centered nature and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Yielding is not weakness; it is choosing the source that produces the life God intended for us. The Holy Spirit never forces

June 28 Let me emphasize this: As you yield to the dynamic life and power of the Holy Spirit, you will abandon the cravings of your self-life. When your self-life craves the things that offend the Holy Spirit you hinder him from living free within you! And the Holy Spirit’s intense cravings hinder your self-life from dominating you! So then, the two incompatible and conflicting forces within you are your self-life of the flesh and the new creation life of the Spirit. But when
