Would you turn with me this morning, please, to Romans, the eighth chapter, Romans

chapter 8, and the 14th verse, Romans 8, 14.

If you haven't been with us, we've been on a series now for weeks and weeks,

entitled The Spirit-led Life.

And we've been talking about living the spirit-led life.

In Romans, the eighth chapter, let's pray before we read.

Father, we thank you for all the blessings we enjoyed today.

We thank you for our health, our strength, our brightness of mind.

Thank you for every physical blessing.

Thank you for a church family.

Thank you for all the good things you allowed us to enjoy. Thank you that we're redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Thank you for the Holy Spirit whom you've sent to endwell us,

be our guide and our teacher. Give everyone eyes to see and ears to hear a heart that's open to receive let there come revelation

of truth that makes free answers to questions direction and help right now unveil the word to us

and we'll not be hearers only but by by your grace, we'll be doers.

And we know as we do, you are faithful to watch over your word and perform it in the lives of those who act upon it.

We give you all the praise in Jesus' name.

Amen.

Now, we don't pray just to take up time in the service.

We pray and we release faith.

When we pray like that, you should be believing with me everything we're asking.

And you should be releasing faith that I'm going to get answers today.

I'm going to get direction.
