Galatians 5:16-18 ERV; So I tell you, live the way the Spirit leads you. Then you will not do the evil things your sinful self wants. The sinful self wants what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit wants what is against the sinful self. They are always fighting against each other, so that you don’t do what you really want to do.  But if you let the Spirit lead you, you are not under law.

This is a very foreign thing to many people, this life of being led by the Spirit of God. Many have become convinced that spiritual things don’t exist anymore because they don’t see Him at work in their lives, their churches, their cities or nation. What they fail to recognize is that we are spirit, we have a soul and live in a body which houses our spirit. The Spirit of God was given to us after Jesus went to be with the Father. He is the third part of the Trinity and His job is to lead us into all truth. John 16:13 says; “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.”

So you see, the Holy Spirit is sent for a very special assignment, but if we refuse to hear Him, if we refuse to allow Him to direct us and show us things, we’re simply walking like the rest of the world, blind, deaf and dumb. We are ambassadors of another Kingdom; the Kingdom of God. As Ambassadors, we live by a different set of laws. Those laws are found in Gods Word and we must read it to know it, hide it in our hearts and live them out on this earth. The Spirit of God protects us, covers us, stands behind us, shows us what to do, where to go, what to speak and shows us things that are coming. What an advantage we have because of the Spirit of God in us.

Father, thank you for the Holy Spirit. You give the best gifts but this one, He is amazing. Holy Spirit, I chose to listen to you today and do what you instruct me to do, say what you instruct me to say, go where you instruct me to go. You’re my helper, my counselor, my financial adviser, my investment strategist, my healer, my deliverer, everything I need, anytime I need it. You’re more then a ‘good neighbor’, more then a ‘primary care physician’, more then a ‘thick juicy steak’, You are life to spirit and health to all my bones. So I take a step back and give you place in my life. Without you, I’m directionally challenged and emotionally led. I step aside so that you may lead me into the place you’ve positioned me for. It’s in Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen
