Getting to know the Holy Spirit: What did life in the Spirit look like for Jesus?

What did living life in the Spirit look like for Jesus – his daily life?

Knowledge of the Word!  Prayer!  Fasting! All self-sacrificial and obedient to the Word of God itself, and of course to the Father!

Jesus had a well-developed lifestyle of prayer when he began his ministry, and this continued all through his ministry on earth. There are at least twenty-seven verses in the New Testament that tell of Jesus praying.

Matthew 14:23 (KJV)

And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

Luke 5:16 (KJV)

And he withdrew himself into the wilderness and prayed.

This is what the lifestyle of Jesus looked like - life in the Spirit Rom 8 - and we need to be imitators of Christ!

Eph 5:1 
Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. 

John 14:12 
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
