Spiritual Breathing

This session from Zume Training discusses the concept of "breathing in" by hearing from God and "breathing out" by obeying and sharing what is heard. It likens this process to physical breathing, essential for life in God's Kingdom. The speaker explains that hearing from God occurs through the Bible, prayer, the Church, and life experiences. Obeying involves aligning thoughts, words, and actions with Jesus's will, and sharing these insights with others. The session emphasizes that Jesus modeled this behavior, doing only what He saw the Father doing and speaking only what He was commanded. Followers of Jesus are encouraged to hear God's voice through the Holy Spirit by being still, focusing on Jesus, and discerning His voice from other influences. Criteria for testing what is heard include consistency with the Bible, a sense of hope and peace, and alignment with the fruit of the Spirit rather than "works of the flesh." The speaker concludes that consistent practice of hearing and obeying leads to clearer communication from God.
