The Spirit-Empowered Life Reading Guide
Invite the Holy Spirit to help you read. Read each scripture through, slowly and meditatively, multiple times. What do you learn about Jesus? About yourself? What is God saying to you? Before you finish, ask the Holy Spirit, what should we do then?
The goal in reading is not information, but transformation. Not to do more religious work, but build an authentic relationship with Jesus.
