WE WANT TO OUR LIVES OVER BEING GUIDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. 

Romans 8:14 (NLT)

14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.

John 16:13 (NLT)

13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth…

Signs you may be wrestling with The Holy Spirit’s Leadership…

1. You lack the of The Spirit.

Galatians 5:22–23 (NLT)

22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 

23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

2. You compromise biblical .

2 Timothy 4:3 (NLT)

3 For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear.

3. Life is extremely .

Four practical ways we can trust the Holy Spirit to lead in our lives. 

1) The Holy Spirit will bring us the right . 

Acts 16:1–3 (NLT)

1 Paul went first to Derbe and then to Lystra, where there was a young disciple named Timothy. His mother was a Jewish believer, but his father was a Greek. 

2 Timothy was well thought of by the believers in Lystra and Iconium, 

3 so Paul wanted him to join them on their journey. In deference to the Jews of the area, he arranged for Timothy to be circumcised before they left, for everyone knew that his father was a Greek. 

God wants you to have the right and not just any warm body. 

1 Corinthians 9:19–22 (NLT)

19 Even though I am a free man with no master, I have become a slave to all people to bring many to Christ. 

20 When I was with the Jews, I lived like a Jew to bring the Jews to Christ. When I was with those who follow the Jewish law, I too lived under that law. Even though I am not subject to the law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who are under the law. 

21 When I am with the Gentiles who do not follow the Jewish law, I too live apart from that law so I can bring them to Christ. But I do not ignore the law of God; I obey the law of Christ. 

22 When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some.

2) The Holy Spirit will give us the right . 

Acts 16:4–5 (NLT)

4 Then they went from town to town, instructing the believers to follow the decisions made by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem. 

5 So the churches were strengthened in their faith and grew larger every day.

3) The Holy Spirit will give us the right . 

Acts 16:6–8 (NLT)

6 Next Paul and Silas traveled through the area of Phrygia and Galatia, because the Holy Spirit had prevented them from preaching the word in the province of Asia at that time. 

7 Then coming to the borders of Mysia, they headed north for the province of Bithynia, but again the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them to go there. 

8 So instead, they went on through Mysia to the seaport of Troas.

4) The Holy Spirit will lead us to the right . 

Acts 16:9–10 (NLT)

9 That night Paul had a vision: A man from Macedonia in northern Greece was standing there, pleading with him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us!” 

10 So we decided to leave for Macedonia at once, having concluded that God was calling us to preach the Good News there.
