Being Led by His Spirit

Being Led by His Spirit

Proverbs 20:27 says, “The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord…”

This indicates that He will enlighten us, guide us, and give us direction through our spirit.

In the Old Testament, men would seek out a prophet or put out a fleece like Gideon when they needed God’s direction. Sometimes they would just examine all the alternatives through their own intellect and then make a decision.

In our New Covenant, the Lord has placed His Holy Spirit inside the spirit of each believer; however, most people continue to seek out someone else to hear God for them. They want a person who will provide direction for them. Many use their own mental powers to reason out a direction, and still, others seek a sign such as an open or closed door to show them which way to go or what decision to make.

Yet nowhere in the New Testament are we instructed to be led by our physical or mental senses or to seek men for guidance. Romans 8:14 clearly indicates we are to be led by the Spirit of God saying, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”

Together we will study God’s Word for His instruction on how to be led by Him.

01-Who is Leading Me?

Can you imagine being led by someone that you don’t know, don’t trust, and can’t be sure they have your best interest at heart? The most important point of being led is knowing and having confidence in the one who leads us. It is key that we know the person of the Holy Spirit is the one we are following.

We are not driven like cattle but led gently through life by the One who indwells us. He is there to show us the way in which we should go. He has seen my future and knows how to guide me to the right place at the right time.
