You can feel it when willpower runs out. The engine sputters, the resolve fades, and the old patterns creep back in. Today we get honest about why true change in the Christian life isn’t about trying harder, but about surrendering deeper to the Holy Spirit—our Helper, our guide, and the power that keeps us free when the feelings fade.
We walk through the difference between a quick escape and sustained freedom, anchoring it in Acts 1:8 and the daily choices that reveal power in ordinary moments: saying no in secret, choosing peace in chaos, enduring trials without bitterness. We talk about ordered steps—how the Spirit says go, wait, or no to protect what God is building—and why asking a simple question before acting can save you from wrong rooms and wrong alliances. You’ll hear how desire itself changes under the Spirit’s work: old cravings lose their pull while new longings grow, shifting our appetite from what drains us to what gives life, just as Galatians 5:16 promises.
There’s a personal turn too: running from calling, trying to muscle through, and then finding clarity and strength when surrender moved from behavior to the heart. Along the way, we remember Romans 8:26—how the Spirit meets us in weakness, prays through our groans, and comforts when nothing else reaches the ache. If you’ve been feeling saved but still stuck, this conversation offers a path that is simple, honest, and doable: ask for power to be kept free, for steps to be ordered, and for desires to be remade from the inside out.
