00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.033
If reading the Bible just becomes a routine...

00:00:06.033 --> 00:00:11.200
‘Every day I must read my verse, read my chapter.’

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:18.700
If prayer just becomes a ritual -

00:00:18.700 --> 00:00:24.566
I say the words but I don't mean them -

00:00:24.566 --> 00:00:27.900
then the heart is no longer required

00:00:27.900 --> 00:00:32.300
and the Spirit can no longer inspire.

00:00:32.300 --> 00:00:37.733
Christianity is a relationship, not a religion.

00:00:37.733 --> 00:00:43.000
Relationship lies in the heart.

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.500
Without the help of the Holy Spirit,

00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:53.633
your prayers can just impress man, not reach God.

00:00:53.633 --> 00:00:56.966
Without the help of the Holy Spirit,

00:00:56.966 --> 00:01:02.800
you will read the Bible just to be informed, not to be transformed.

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:06.766
You may read the Bible. The Bible will not read you.

00:01:06.766 --> 00:01:14.400
Without the help of the Holy Spirit, our fasting is just a hunger strike.

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:22.333
You must be careful to not fall into a religious mindset.
