Led By The Spirit

When the Holy Spirit speaks to believers' hearts, it assures them that they are indeed children of God. 

Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.

We are to seek leadership of the Holy Spirit. Should we go or stay, speak or be quiet, lead or follow? The inaudible answer often comes with peaceful assurance or it may hold back peace. The apostle Paul wanted to go one direction, but the Holy Spirit withheld peace with that decision.

The Holy Spirit speaks to us when we pray, read scripture, hear teaching, preaching, even through gospel songs and experiences. The Holy Spirit's leadership will be consistent with God's Word and the fruits of the Spirit (peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance).

How exciting to know that wherever we are as children of God, we have this Divine helper to guide and comfort us.
