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, that shall he
speak: and he will shew you things to come (John
16:13).
If you’re born again, the Spirit of God
lives in you, and He guides you by the
Word, in the way that you should go. The
Word of God is the voice of God, and
that’s your surest-guide in life. Getting
yourself acquainted with the Word is the
way to know the counsel of the Spirit.
Jesus said in John 10:27, "My sheep hear my voice, and I
know them, and they follow me."
In John 14:16 (AMP), He made another emphatic
statement about the ministry of the Holy Spirit in
leading and guiding you in life: "And I will ask the Father,
and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor,
Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and
Standby), that He may remain with you forever." The
Holy Spirit lives in you and with you; He counsels you
from within, in line with God’s Word. No other
personality in this life can lead you into success, victory
and rest as the Holy Spirit would. He’ll guide you to
make accurate decisions, go to the right places at the
right time, and do the right things the first time, for
God’s glory.
Recognize the person and ministry of the Holy Spirit in
your life. Don’t just talk to Him; learn to listen to Him as
well; He’s always talking to your spirit. Through the
Word, He guides and leads you from glory to glory. He
cares about everything you do; He takes interest even in
the minutest detail about your life. It’s His pleasure to
successfully guide you through all your endeavours from
day to day.
Many have made grievous mistakes in their lives for not
listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit. It’s not hard at
all to follow His leading, because His counsel and
guidance are always in sync with the Word. Your life will
be the expression of God’s glory, beauty, wisdom, and
grace as you yield to Him by following His Word.
