HOW GOD LEADS US 1

Rom 8:15

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. [KJV]

 

The Holy Spirit leads us in three common ways: The first is by the word of God we know. For example, If you had a choice whether to steal or not to steal, and you are praying to hear first from the Holy Spirit to know what the will of God is to do, now that would be ludicrous.

The word of God transforms our minds to the point that we know God's will by simply discerning what is right from what is wrong.

“Do not be conformed to this present world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve what is the will of God – what is good and well-pleasing and perfect.” -Rom 12:2 [NET]

The second way the Holy Spirit leads us is through His word that comes to us audibly, intuitively, through visions, dreams, trances, etc.

Now this usually happens when your mind has not been tuned enough to receive what God has for you in that season, or the message is totally not within the consideration of your mind, or the message is very crucial and God wants you to act instantly. For example, God showed Apostle Peter the trance that meant the Gentiles could be part of the church. His Jewish mind would have screened out the message if it came any other way (See Acts 10:10-16). Apostle Paul was not thinking of going to Macedonia when he saw the vision to go there; Macedonia was not on His itinerary (Acts 16:9).

To be continued…

As you go into today, ask the Lord to renew your mind completely, that you will have the mind of Christ in all things. Amen
