Romans 8:14
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God
(KJV)
In order to be led by the spirit of God you should have the Spirit; we must have the Holy Spirit so we can be led by Him. People who don't have the Holy Spirit cannot be sons because they will be led by anything and everything; jealousy, anger, lust etc. and sometimes even familiar spirits.
Secondly it is one thing to hear and another to obey the spirit of the lord. Hearing and obeying is the definition of being led.
Sometimes we hear God and make our own decisions regardless of the Spirit’s leading, that is not walking in sonship, that is a babe’s spirit. The Holy spirit basically leads us by the word of God we know and by the prophetic or perceiving witnesses of our spirits, for example, if you are in a situation where you are tempted to steal and you really need to know the will of God there, the word of God you know about stealing is what the Holy spirit uses to lead in that instant. You do not need to start praying to hear from the Holy Spirit about the matter because the Holy Spirit has already spoken about the matter; He has spoken through the written word of God so in that instant He leads you to do His will by His word you already know. The whole idea behind the Holy Spirit’s leading is that you are following.
Go into today with the knowledge that you have a responsibility to lead your life according to the leading of the Spirit.
Prayer
Dear lord please give me the grace to always follow your leading no matter how difficult it may seem, in Jesus name. Amen
