Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading

in every part of our lives.

Galatians 5:25

One thing is certain about being Spirit-led-you won’t get a lot of good advice. Most of the people giving advice have not spent the time that you have talking with God about your situation. Any advice that is against the Spirit inside of you is not the right advice for you.

As you walk with God and mature and grow, you will become someone that knows how to follow him in the way he speaks to you.

It is not that God isn’t speaking, it is that his children have to become people that are mature enough to follow what he is saying. Many times our desire to listen to others, please others, please the flesh, listen to societal norms, keep us from being bold enough to listen to that still small voice that doesn’t always make sense to our flesh.

Being Spirit-led is a great way to live and it takes a lot of pressure off of us. But it also comes with a price. Becoming Spirit-led means that you have learned to put carnality aside in order to follow him even when it does not make any sense to our human mind.

Our mind and God’s impressions in our lives many times contradict each-other. While our mind is there to help us think and reason, it is not the God of our lives. There is not wisdom if it contradicts God. We should always go to him to seek wisdom rather than blindly following what we think and feel we should do.
