The Holy Spirit leading us in worship



What does it mean to be Christ-like, to walk in His steps, to do the things Jesus did? When we hear these exhortations we tend to focus on the times when Jesus was 'on the spot'-healing, forgiving, enduring suffering with grace, casting out demons, etc. The result is we try to manufacture these same feats or to live out his commands, sermon on the mount for example but are unable. Why is this? Because we forget that when we are called to walk with Jesus that it means to incorporate into our lives the same spiritual disciplines that Jesus did--prayer, solitude, fasting, worship, etc. And by these disciplines our souls will be transformed and the Spirit of God will work in us to create not only the desire, but also the power to truly do the things Jesus dis and even greater.
-Dallas Willard
