Discussion

1. What percentage of your day do you think you are working in your own strength without relying on the Spirit?
2. When is the last time you asked the Father to fill you with His Spirit?
3. What do you think is different about you when you are walking in The Spirit?
4. If you honestly assess your perspective, do you think of the Holy Spirit more in terms of gifts rather than daily living?
