* Following God by HIS Spirit.




In this Podcast, I show exact ways the Holy Spirit leads us and how HE guides us into all truth, concerning the issue at hand, one step at a time.

Also we learn to recognize the difference between fleshly ideas, ideas from devils, and ideas sent to us by God.

We learn to know the characteristics of the Holy Spirit so we can follow God with confidence and be assured of God leading us in the way we are going.  This is an anchor for our souls when thoughts come to try to pull us off into another direction.

Setting a foundation for understanding the working of the Holy Spirit:

Each believer is sealed with the Holy Spirit:

Ephesians 1:13   In WHOM ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in WHOM also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

***

The work of the Holy Spirit in the believer:

Jesus said:

John 14:26  

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 16:13  

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear (from God), that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

The Holy Spirit never makes you do anything.  The Holy Spirit brings you information from God which allows you to know the will of God in the matter at hand.  

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

The Holy Spirit is a gentle voice Who brings thoughts from God to your mind, scriptures & concepts.

The thoughts brought by the Holy Spirit are always compatible with the New Testament Bible.

John 10:10   The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

***

Proverbs 16:25   There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

***

James 1:5   

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all  liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

***

How to recognize the ideas that are from God:

James 3:17  But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.


But if you are in envy and strife:

James 3:14-16   But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 


16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

***

Your heart must be cleansed by God:

Psalm 51:10   Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 

***

Ephesians 4:29   Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.


***

Matthew 6:33    But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and HIS righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Follow that one verse of scripture which the Holy Spirit causes to stand out to you.  Do that scripture.  When you are reminded of another scripture, follow that scripture, then another, then another, one scripture at a time.  

This is like going down God's highway, and you will end up where God wants you to be, and amazingly, along the way, "things" are added to you without your focusing on getting things.  

But be sure you are actually "doing"  that scripture!  For if you hear the scripture or read the scripture and fail to do the scripture, you deceive yourself.

Follow verses of scripture, one at a time ... rather than following after getting things!

... and all these things shall be added unto you.  (Matthew 6:33)
