SPRING FORTH NOW 2026

March 28

And consider the example that Jesus, the Anointed One, has set before us. Let his mindset become your motivation.  He existed in the form of God, yet he gave no thought to seizing equality with God as his supreme prize.  Instead he emptied himself of his outward glory by reducing himself to the form of a lowly servant. He became human!  He humbled himself and became vulnerable, choosing to be revealed as a man and was obedient. He was a perfect example, even in his death—a criminal’s death by crucifixion!  Because of that obedience, God exalted him and multiplied his greatness! He has now been given the greatest of all names!  The authority of the name of Jesus causes every knee to bow in reverence! Everything and everyone will one day submit to this name—in the heavenly realm, in the earthly realm, and in the demonic realm.  And every tongue will proclaim in every language: “Jesus Christ is Lord Yahweh,” bringing glory and honor to God, his Father!

Philippians 2:5-11 (TPT)

Ever notice how the loudest people in the room aren’t always the most powerful? Philippians 2:5–11 (TPT) flips the script by showing that Jesus didn’t rise by grasping—He rose by letting go. To Transcend is to release the need to prove yourself and instead commit to becoming who you’re called to be, even when it looks like you’re taking the lower seat. There is a posture, High And Lifted Up, where humility is not weakness but strategy, and obedience becomes the pathway to real elevation. For Black people who have had to navigate being overlooked and underestimated, this truth hits different—your rising is not dependent on their recognition. When you move with intention, discipline, and clarity, your life begins to speak before you ever have to. Stay grounded, stay focused, and watch how elevation finds you without you forcing it.
