Head Led or Spirit Led?

Monday, 16 August, 2010 06:14 Written by Pastor Bruce 0 Comments

What guidance system are you using today? Is it your head? Or His Spirit?

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

God has provided His Spirit to lead us everyday and in every decision that we must make. Far too often we only depend on our mental ability to make “sound” decisions. Common sense “rules” our life. We must be logical and do things according to some “text book” or our prior training or experience…we think.

When we don’t rely on the Holy Spirit we are left to every other source of guidance. Any other source is totally inferior to the Holy Spirit! He is the Spirit of Truth and will lead us and guide us into all the truth! He knows the future and can lead us in every step that we take BUT we must resolve to move out of our head and into our spirit.

We have to leave the shore of fleshly methods and swim out into the depths of the spirit where God can show us things that we have not seen before. Face it, we are not smart enough to lead ourselves. We need the Leader, the Helper, the Guide to show us the way. He is waiting for us to follow.

Let’s go!

Yes Lord, I Hear

Can you hear Him?

But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future]. – John 16:13 AMP

We have a distinct advantage since we have the Holy Spirit living on the inside of us! When we became born again the Holy Spirit of God, the third person of the Trinity, came to live on the inside of us. We have a guide that has been given an assignment from the Father to speak to us and lead us. He is announcing and declaring things that will happen in the future. If we will only listen…

Listening to the Holy Spirit is THE issue. He is speaking, are we listening? Have you (and I) taken the time to listen to Him today? To find out what will happen before it happens…

We really should never be taken by surprise since we have the Holy Spirit leading us and showing us things to come. Tap in and tune up…to “God’s Guidance System” (more excellent than a GPS!). Listen to the Holy Spirit, today.

Direction

Where do I go and what do I do? “The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.” – Psalms 23:1 AMP “But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.” – John 14:26 AMP

Our Shepherd guides us. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to live in us, to help us, strengthen us and guide us. He can show us things to come because He lives in eternity. The direction that we are in need of; God has. He knows His will for our lives and is able to get that over to us by His Spirit that lives in us.

When we get “turned around” or “lost” in a place that we have never been before we look for someone that knows that area to help us get back on the road that we need to be on. (Nowadays we have GPS devices that help us) We need to be on the right road to end up where the Lord wants us when He wants us there. The Holy Spirit is the One that gives us our direction! As we seek the Lord and wait on Him He speaks to us and leads us to that place and shows us the next step to take. We have the direction that we need through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
