Being led by the Spirit is one of the
greatest
benefits of being a new covenant
believer
other than just your salvation and
knowing that your sins are forgiven
that you’re gonna go to heaven and live
eternally with God. It’s a wonderful thing
to have this privilege have been led by
the Spirit
every believer can hear from God every
believer
has the privilege of being led by the
Spirit. That means that you really don’t
have to run around and ask other people
all the time what you should do in
situations.
God will show you what to do. But you
know what
in order to be led by the Spirit you’ve got to
have a little confidence.
And you’ve got to have a little bit
courage and a little bit boldness
because sometimes it a little bit scary
until you get experience stepping out
into things
that the only proof that you have of
whether or not you’re right
is what you sense in here and what you
read
in here. We would much rather be able
to just go to our hotline to heaven,
dial-up God,
Could I to speak to God please?
Oh God, so good to talk to You. This is
Joyce
down here on Earth. Listen, um… I a…
I need to know what You want me to do
in this situation I’ve got. But ya’ know really
while we’re talkin’ I’d just like to know
really what You want me to do with my whole life, I’m kinda confused,
mixed up about the whole thing. You know what, since I’ve got You, what’s
the call on my life?
And you know what’s gonna happen with my kids? And You know
how’s all this stuff gonna… Huh? What?
Oh, You want me to read the Word…
You mean You want me to act like I believe it?
You put Your Holy Spirit in me and
you want me to learn how to be led by
the Holy Spirit.
Well wouldn’t it just be a whole lot
easier if You’d just tell me?
I i think if you just tell me it would
just make everything a lot
easier cuz you know that being led by
the Spirit stuff… Huh? You gotta go now?
Oh…
Oh, okay, You already told me once, You’re not going to tell me again.
Okay, I get it. Alright, well,
love You, Lord. Bye.
Everybody wants to know how to hear
from God.
Well you know it would be nice if God would
we could just pick up the hotline to heaven and make a phone call.
You know I just say to the Lord
sometimes, “If You would just come and sit
down here,
just five minutes we could get my whole deal straightened out here.
But you know it’s interesting
God really is very mysterious in some
ways
and um… which pretty much means that
you can’t always grasp everything He’s
doing with you brain.
We, really as spiritual beings we have to
learn how to function and flow
in the Spirit. And we have to learn how to
discern things spiritually.
It seems like it would be so easy for God just to tell us.
But He wants us to do the search. He
wants us to
walk in faith. And to be honest He wants
us to learn and to grow and to stretch
and to step out and to sometimes
even make mistakes and learn by that. And
step back
and not be afraid to step out again. And
you know what every single person in here
can learn to be dynamically
lead by the Holy Spirit which literally
means to hear from God.
But you’re not going to do it sitting
around idle asking
everybody else what you should do every
time you have a situation come up in
your life. You’re gonna have to get with God,
know the Word, learn, learn how to follow
peace,
and you can be led by the Spirit.
