Led by the Spirit - Week Two
Learning to Breathe
“Led by the Spirit”
Luke 4:1
Watching how the Spirit led Jesus helps us see how the Spirit leads us.
- You are led by the Spirit as you live full of the Spirit.
- You live full of the Spirit as you breathe in His presence and power.
- Jesus lived his daily life full of the Spirit and led by the Spirit:
- the Spirit led Jesus in defeating temptation
- the Spirit led Jesus to teach
- the Spirit led Jesus to a particular Scripture
- the Spirit led Jesus in interpreting Scripture
- the Spirit led Jesus to preach
- the Spirit led Jesus in navigating conflict
- the Spirit led Jesus to serve/minister to people
- the Spirit led Jesus to pray
- the Spirit led Jesus to intentionally evangelize
- the Spirit led Jesus to make disciples
- Living in close relationship with God is the best way to be led by the Spirit.
- Talking with God (prayer and Scripture)
- Listening to God (structure your life around prayer and Scripture)
- Honoring God (love and obedience)
- Practicing Spiritual Breathing
- Inhale: “Holy Spirit, breathe into me Your presence; fill me with Your love.”
- Exhale: “I confess my self-centeredness/worry/hurt/fear.”
Every follower of Jesus can be led by the Spirit.
