How the Holy Spirit speaks to us and directs us.
For as many as are led by the spirit of God they are the sons God. Romans 8:14
To be led by the spirit of God is to be controlled by the Holy Spirit. And there are specific ways God leads his children, it is the through the human spirit. You see God cannot communicate to you through your flesh or even your soul; he has to do that through your spirit by the Holy Spirit in you. To worship God effectively you have to do that by the spirit. The true worshiper shall worship the father in spirit and in truth (John 4:20)
God deals with us through our spirit because God is a spirit. You see until your spirit man (inner man) is trained you can not fulfill God’s plan for your life. You spirit man has to be trained just the way our physical body can be trained. The bible says “the spirit of a man is the candle of the lord that searches the inward part of the belly” (Proverbs chapter 20:27) God doesn’t lead his children through their senses. As a matter of fact if you make decision by your senses then you will ultimately go astray. To be carnally (sense) minded is death but to be spiritually minded is life and peace (Romans 8:) God leading is not always consistent with or in agreement with the things you fell, see or even hear. He says we walk by faith not by sight.
God doesn’t lead by circumstances. The circumstances around you may be saying stay but that may not be what the lord is saying at that point. For the fact that people are leaving a particular place because of famine does not mean that you should leave( remember Isaacs case). You need to be sure of what the Holy Ghost is saying to you in your spirit. Learning to be led by the Holy Spirit Is of utmost important if you must fulfill your destiny in life.
How would you know what investment to do without the leading of the Holy Spirit? If you can learn to be led by the spirit of God then you will prosper financially and in every area of your life.
Below are three ways the Holy Spirit leads his children.
By the inward witness. The spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God (Romans 8:16)
How do you know you are a child of God! You know for sure that you are a child of God by an inward witness in your heart. You didn’t conclude that you are a child of God because someone said “in my opinion you are a Christian”. Or you didn’t conclude that you are a child of God because somebody prophesied to you that you are a child of God. You know that for yourself. You may not be able to explain it but you know for sure that you are a Christian. Hallelujah.
The inward witness is the primary way the spirit of God will lead you. When you become acquainted with the spirit of God in just almost any situation you just know what to do. Not because he said to do, or because a prophet said to do but the spirit bears witness in your spirit concerning what to do at that point in time.
In Act chapter 27 Paul knew that there will be danger ahead not because the Holy Spirit said so but he perceived it in his spirit.
Let look at it
" and said unto then sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and slip, but also of our lives." (ACTS 27:10)
Apostle Paul knows by the inward witness what was going to happen to the ship.
By the inward voice the inward voice is the voice of your human spirit. The innerman has a voice just like the outward man has a voice. The voice of the human spirit is the conscience. Which is also referred to as the small still voice? Sometimes in some very common situations we find ourselves asking God what to do in a particular case. And when we want to take the wrong choice the small still voice comes up telling that is wrong. Your conscience relates to your heart what the spirit is saying. Your conscience may not always be the Holy Spirit talking to you, but your conscience always ensures to pick the right choice.
Your conscience can be in liberty or in bondage depending on the knowledge you already have about the subject matter at that point in time. That is why we are encouraged to grow in the knowledge of God's word and our savior Jesus Christ.
And now bredreen, I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up. And to give you an inheritance among them which are sanctified. (Acts 20:32)
the most important thing here is that you have to maintain a tender conscience, don’t violate your conscience. You still notice that the more you obey your conscience the easier it will be to obey it the next time.
Apostle Paul said.
… I have lived in all good conscience before God. Acts 23:1)
Holding faith and a good conscience: which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck. You saw that, don’t ignore your conscience.
The voice of the Holy Spirit. When the voice of the Holy Spirit comes to you will notice that it is more AUTHORITATIVE than the others, in Acts 10:19-20.
While peter thought on the vision, the spirit said unto him, behold, three men seek thee.
I believe the Holy Spirit spoke to peter with an audible voice. Peter had seen a vision and as he thought about the vision the Holy Spirit spoke to him.
Note: the authoritative voice is always consistent with the word of God and when it comes to you- there is no doubt at all.
If you understand these three ways the Holy Spirit leads his children then you will be on your way fulfilling your destiny. hallelujah
