Holy Spirit
Romans 8:26-27 - 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
3. ________________________________________________________________________
Romans 8:34- 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

Watch this clip from the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jfOQ4-whSI
1. Answer from 0-10 (0 is freezing to 10 is hot): In your opinion, how close are you to God right now?
2. Regarding closeness to God, where do you want to be one year from now?3. Are you currently moving at a pace to meet your goal one year from now?4. What major decisions/adjustments do you need to make to help your grow?
Going Deeper:1. What is one thing about your life right now that you desire to do better? Have you been
praying about this one thing?2. Do you feel like you are fighting the wrong fight? Explain. 3. What land mines are present in your life? Are there some you have stepped on? Are
these some, by God’s grace, you have avoided? Are there some you fear looming on the landscape of your life ahead?
End with prayer- You are invited to ask God these things …1. Search your heart and reveal your true condition before God. 2. Help you open your heart and stay obedient and intimately close to Jesus.
