THE LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
JOHN 16:7 AND VARIOUS SCRIPTURES

THE NORMAL CHRISTIAN LIFE IS WALKING WITH, AND FOLLOWING THE HOLY SPIRIT. SO, DO YOU KNOW HOW TO HEAR FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT …

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?

   HE ESTABLISHES OUR NEW LIFE,
   HE INTERNALIZES OUR NEW LIFE,
   HE PERSONALIZES OUR NEW LIFE,
   HE EMPOWERS OUR NEW LIFE,
   HE INSTRUCTS OUR NEW LIFE,
   HE GUARANTEES OUR NEW LIFE, EPH.1:13-14

HOW DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT LEAD?

   SOME BAD METHODOLOGIES;

      RANDOM-COINCIDENCE,
      MAGIC 8-BALL
      THE MYSTERIOUS, “PEACE IN YOUR HEART”
      THE CLOSE YOUR EYES AND POINT YOUR FINGER AT A SCRIPTURE METHOD,

   THE BEST METHODOLOGIES;

     FIRST, THE WORD OF GOD, 2 TIM.3:16-17

         THE WILL OF GOD … ROMANS 12:1; I THES.4:3; PRO.3:6

      SECOND, OUR GIFTINGS,

         A SPIRITUAL GIFT IS USUALLY THE CONFLUENCE OF WHAT IN GOD’S KINGDOM WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT, WHAT WE ARE GOOD AT, AND WHAT OTHERS AFFIRM IN US.

         ABILITY – AFFINITY – AFFIRMATION
