Set Free From Sin: Choosing the Life That Produces Holiness

Everything You Need Is in That Word

Truth has depth. It cuts through deception, washes what is inward, and brings heavenly reality into the way you think, speak, live, and see yourself. In this message, Rev. Linda Adkins teaches on the washing of the water of the Word, and how the blood brings us from death to life, but the Word cleanses the mind, our conduct, our character, our attitude, and our self-image. The Father gives eternal life, Christ gives resurrection life, and the Holy Spirit brings the full love life into us. You do not have to stay bound to old reactions, bad attitudes, frustration, fear, or the way you have always seen yourself. The Word has the power to change your mind, change your mouth, and change what you believe is possible. Everything you need to change who you are into what He is, is in that Word.

The Holy Spirit’s Real Assignment | Pentecost Sunday 2026

Many believers walk into Pentecost Sunday thinking they already have the Holy Spirit figured out. But in this episode of Words of Light for Today, Rev. Linda L. Adkins delivers a message from the Word that will change how you see the Spirit's work. She makes the biblical case that His assignment is far wider than giving us goosebumps or helping us out of a jam. Drawing from Genesis 11, the lions' den, and the fiery furnace, she shows how the Holy Spirit has been actively restraining evil on this earth long before Pentecost happened. Rev. Adkins walks through a clear biblical picture: all things come from the Father, through the Son, and by the Holy Spirit. And that third person chose to make His permanent home inside of you to do the work of the Kingdom.

Death to Self: The Foundation of Faith

In this episode of Words of Light for Today, Rev. Linda L. Adkins teaches on one of the most overlooked truths in the Christian life — death to self. Drawing from Philippians 3, Romans 6, and the words of Jesus in Luke 9, she reveals that death to self is not a concept reserved for the spiritually elite. It is the only pathway to fruitfulness, and it is the foundation on which genuine faith is built. Rev. Adkins explains that every believer has been given a measure of faith — but that faith can be dammed up. Like a river blocked by pride, fear, resentment, and self-reliance, the faith is present but unable to flow freely. She draws a clear and convicting distinction between the saved life and the spiritual life, showing that carnality — mixing self with Christ — is not a sign of unbelief, but it is a barrier to breakthrough. And she makes this plain: becoming spiritual is not a process of accumulation. It is a process of being peeled. If you have ever wondered why your prayers seem unanswered, why your faith appears to work for others but not for you, or why your walk with God feels stuck — this message will show you where to look. The self-life is blocking the river. And God, in His faithfulness, is still at work, pressing and peeling, ready to set it free.

The Whole Offering: Surrendering the ‘I’

What does it truly mean to be a living sacrifice? In today’s episode of Words of Light for Today, we are brought face-to-face with a powerful truth: surrender is not partial—it is whole. Through a deep and sobering reflection on Romans 12 and the Old Testament sacrifices, this message calls us beyond surface-level faith into a life fully yielded to God. Reverend Adkins unpacks the reality that everything in our walk with Him is voluntary—love, obedience, prayer, even kindness. Yet, while it is voluntary, it also requires grit. The battle is not external—it is within. The “I” in us—our will, our pride, our fear—is the very thing that must be laid down. When the mind is renewed, clarity comes. When the “I” is surrendered, peace takes its place. And when we offer ourselves completely, we become that sweet-smelling sacrifice—holy and acceptable unto Him. This episode is both a challenge and an invitation: Will you hold onto yourself… or will you give Him everything? Because in the end, transformation begins where surrender becomes complete.

Set Free From Sin: Choosing the Life That Produces Holiness

In this insightful episode of Words of Light for Today, Rev. Linda L. Adkins teaches from Romans 6 about what it truly means to be set free from sin and fully yielded to God. Freedom in Christ is not just about being forgiven—it is about choosing a new master. As Rev. Linda explains, believers are not powerless against sin. Through Christ, sin no longer has dominion, and we now have the ability to choose obedience, holiness, and the life God designed for us.
