SPRING FORTH NOW 2026

April 24

So, then, if with Christ you’ve put all that puffed-up and childish religion behind you, why do you let yourselves be bullied by it? “Don’t touch this! Don’t taste that! Don’t go near this!” Do you think things that are here today and gone tomorrow are worth that kind of attention? Such things sound impressive if said in a deep enough voice. They even give the illusion of being pious and humble and austere. But they’re just another way of showing off, making yourselves look important.

Colossians 2:20-23 (MSG)

Why keep living by rules that never had the power to transform you in the first place? Colossians reminds us that external systems and appearances may look wise, but they can’t produce real change, because true life flows from what is High and Lifted Up, not what is man-made. When you Look Up, you stop performing for approval and start living from a place of freedom, knowing your identity is not controlled by pressure or perception. For a people who have had to navigate expectations, codes, and constraints, this is your reminder that your power has never come from fitting in—it comes from being rooted in Christ, your manifested Word. Dream Big, because you are no longer bound by limiting structures—you are free to build, create, and live from divine truth. Decide To Become someone who values transformation over appearance, choosing authenticity over approval every time. Demonstrate Your Power by living liberated, thinking elevated, and moving with purpose, because when you rise above what tried to define you, you walk boldly High and Lifted Up.
