SPRING FORTH NOW 2026

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 the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Romans 8:1-6

What if the loudest voice in your life is not the truest one? Romans 8 declares that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus and that the Spirit leads us into life and peace, reminding us that Discerning The Holy begins by refusing to let guilt, fear, or failure have the final word over your identity. What is High and Lifted Up is a mind that is governed by the Spirit rather than controlled by yesterday's mistakes, today's distractions, or tomorrow's worries. For a people who have too often been defined by labels others created, this passage proclaims that God's Spirit calls us by a higher identity rooted in grace, purpose, and possibility. Dream Big, because a mind renewed by the Spirit can envision a future that fear could never imagine and pursue a calling that doubt could never sustain. Decide To Become someone who feeds your spirit more than your anxieties, recognizing that where your mind consistently dwells is often where your life will eventually follow. Demonstrate Your Power by choosing thoughts that produce life, speaking words that cultivate hope, and living with the confidence that the Spirit of God is leading you into a future that stands High and Lifted Up.
