THIS IS THE MOST GENERAL STATEMENT IN THE GOSPELS CONCERNING THE WORK OF THE SPIRIT IN THE LIFE AND MINISTRY OF JESUS. JESUS WORK IN GALILEE WAS EMPOWERED BY THE SPIRIT. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE WORK OF THE SPIRIT IN THE LIVES OF ANCIENT ISRAELS LEADERS, ESPECIAALY SAUL AND DAVID, WITH WHOM THE SPIRIT APPARENTLY WORKED OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS. MAJOR ASPECTS OF JESUS MINISTRY WERE PREACHING, TEACHING, HEALING, AND EXORCISM; IN THE GOSPELS ALL OF THESE FORMS OF MINISTRY ARE ATTRIBUTED AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER TO THE SPIRIT. EACH STEP OF CHRISTS MINISTRY WAS LED BY THE SPIRIT. ( LK 4:14 - HOLY SPIRIT, JESUS )
