Luke 4

Three times in this chapter Jesus is connected to the power of the Holy Spirit.

Luke 4:1 "Full of the Holy Spirit"
Luke 4:14 "In the power of the Spirit"
Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me"

Christians are permanently indwelled by the Holy Spirit. However the level of filling, or control, of the Spirit on our lives is dependent on our willingness to surrender and follow. It is also connected to the amount of sin on our hearts. Am I in control or is God? I'm betting that God can do a better job then I can. SWC
