SPRING FORTH NOW 2026

August 19

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.  Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

I Corinthians 15:51-58

Transformation is not always comfortable, but neither is staying the same when God is calling you forward. In I Corinthians 15:51–58 (KJV), Paul declares, “We shall all be changed,” reminding us that Engaging The Holy means allowing God's promised future to transform how faithfully we live and work right now. What is High And Lifted Up is a life that sits with the vision until we stop fearing change and start becoming capable of carrying what God is revealing. Our communities have repeatedly turned change into possibility, building new futures because generations before us refused to believe struggle, injustice, or limitation would have the final word. Dream Big, because God's vision may require becoming someone you cannot yet fully imagine. Decide To Become steadfast and immovable, knowing that transformation requires both openness to change and commitment to what matters. Demonstrate Your Power by staying faithful to the work, building what strengthens others, and trusting that your labor toward a flourishing future is never in vain.
