Let the Spirit lead you
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8:14
You wouldn’t be saved if you didn’t recognize the leading of the Holy Spirit. He is that “something” in your heart that tells you to respond in a certain way. “Something” told me to call you. “Something” told me to pray for you. “Something” told me to give you this. However, sometimes you know he is leading you because your heart is pounding because of what he asks you to do. It’s that feeling you get when you know that you know. Other times, his voice is so shallow that you only find out it was him after the fact in your hindsight. He is the one who prompts you to confess your sins. Some people never recognize his leadership, but others train themselves to listen and know his voice.
I remember I felt the strong urge to give a young friend some money; the Holy Spirit gave me an amount. I called her, told her I had something for her, and asked if I could bring it by. When I handed it to her, she began to cry because it was the amount she needed to move to a better apartment. She had been praying, and I became the vessel to fulfill her need. We both knew it was God. That’s just one example, but it impacted both of us. Most of the time, being led by the Spirit is seemingly uneventful, but if we are obedient to his voice, we will eventually grow to recognize it and walk in it.
