Trying to lead the Christian life without the Holy Spirit's power is like trying to function without air. It's simply not possible. However, many Christians are attempting to follow Jesus without a close relationship with the Holy Spirit. As a result, we face a widespread spiritual crisis that is disrupting our connection to God and preventing us from becoming the people He is calling us to be. The Christian life should be full of purpose and joy, but it too often feels like drudgery and rote religion. Our lives don't work as God intended, because we are not connected to the life-giving breath of His Holy Spirit.
There is good news, though: The Holy Spirit has the power to completely transform our lives. Jesus wasn't lying when He promised His disciples extraordinary lives, full of holiness and spiritual power. They saw His promises come true when they met the Holy Spirit, and that same Spirit will give us lives that are greater than anything we can imagine.
This book is written for ordinary Christians who want to learn how to walk in the power of God's Spirit. LEARNING TO BREATHE explains why cultivating a life-giving relationship with the Holy Spirit is the key to the spiritual life God wants for us. The book provides a picture of what our lives could be like if we consistently obeyed the Spirit's voice. Readers will learn how to develop daily habits and attitudes that will lead them to a powerful, Spirit-filled life. When we learn to walk closely with the Spirit, we'll come to know Jesus more deeply than we ever thought was possible. LEARNING TO BREATHE offers hope and help for every Christian who wants to experience the power of the Holy Spirit in everyday life.
