| 0:00.0 | Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net. |
| 0:04.4 | Luke chapter 4, verse 1, and Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, |
| 0:10.5 | returned from the Jordan, and was led by the spirit in the wilderness for 40 days, |
| 0:16.7 | being tempted by the devil. |
| 0:19.8 | Notice, and this is a huge theme both in the Gospel of Luke and the Book |

| 1:37.4 | Everything. |
| 1:38.7 | When we come to faith in Christ, it's because the Holy Spirit of God is working in our minds and our hearts, opening |
