SPRING FORTH NOW 2026

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 are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Romans 8:12-17

The world will try to tell you who you are before God has the chance to remind you whose you are. Romans 8 declares that those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God, revealing that Discerning The Holy begins with hearing the voice of your heavenly Father above every competing voice of fear, failure, or false identity. What is High and Lifted Up is a life that no longer performs for acceptance but lives confidently from the assurance that it already belongs to God. For a people whose identity has too often been distorted by history, injustice, and stereotypes, this passage proclaims that our truest identity is not assigned by society but affirmed by the Spirit, who calls us heirs with Christ and members of God's family. Dream Big, because children of the King should never think like captives when they have inherited the promises, power, and purpose of their Father. Decide To Become someone who walks in spiritual maturity instead of spiritual insecurity, trusting that God's Spirit is shaping your character as much as your destiny. Demonstrate Your Power by living with confidence, extending dignity to others, and reflecting the love of your Father in every space you enter, because those who know they are God's children will always rise High and Lifted Up.
