Sadie Robertson Huff Encourages Christians Not to Separate Their Faith from Their Personal Lives

“If it’s true that the spirit of God is living inside of us, we should have Passion moments in the grocery store, then we should have Passion moments every place we go, then revival really should happen,” she said. “We say all the time we want revival to happen, ‘God, bring revival.’ I just wonder, why isn’t it happening? I don’t think it’s because God is not doing His job. I think it’s because we are not responding to ours.”

“Everywhere we go could be a place of miracles,” she continued. “Everywhere we go is a moment to share the Good news. But I think in order for that to happen, it has to become personal to you.”

Robertson Huff encouraged her fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to consider how they can create opportunities for ministry in the public space and that it should not be limited to churches and small groups.

“I just want us to wake up to the idea that your truck, your finance class, your walks to school with your friends, your apartment, that is the place ministry should be happening the most,” she said. “Why? Because you’re there. How? Because the Spirit of God is living inside of you.”

“We have places where our spiritual life takes place, and we have places where our personal life takes place,” she added. “Those two things don’t really merge a lot of the time. But I think we have to get it out of our heads that those two things are different things, and they have to become one thing.”

The popular Christian speaker also warned that unrepentant sin could contradict their spiritual lives with their personal lives.

“The best thing you can do is say: ‘Jesus, I need you to be a part of this side of my life because I don’t have the power to break the addiction in my own strength. I need your Spirit,” she added.

“When things start to get personal with Jesus, I think repentance is a natural response. And many of you, it’s starting to get so personal, it feels uncomfortable to let yourself go to that place.”

At the close of her message, Robertson Huff led the crowd in a prayer of repentance before the Lord.

“God, I thank you that Your Son died on the cross for the forgiveness of my sins so that I can live with hope. Holy Spirit, I invite you into my life. Convict me in the areas that I try to go back to. God free me of my old self and help me to walk in my new self,” she prayed.

“God, I pray that people notice the change in me. I pray that people will ask me the question: ‘what happened to you?’ so that I can just speak Your name. God, my life will be to give you glory. My life will be for your name. … My life will be a living testimony to the faithfulness of you, God. I will be a part of a generation that will bring revival to this earth.”

Louie Giglio of Passion City Church in Atlanta launched the Passion movement in 1995.

The 2023 Passion Conference, which ran from Jan. 3-5, featured various Christian speakers and leaders, including Giglio, Jackie Hill Perry, Tim Tebow and others.
