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.

  1. You are led by the Spirit as you live full of the Spirit.
  2. You live full of the Spirit as you breathe in His presence and power.
  3. 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
  1. 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.
