He guides my conscience and reminds me of the proper scripture at the proper time. He comforts me by reminding me that hardships are not in vain- that I’m on the road that leads to heaven.

Our society and our culture emphasize independence and acting on our own.

Scripture teaches total dependence on God and NOT acting on our own.

When we prayerfully seek god's will, and instruction before making any decision, the Holy Spirit will find a way to communicate His direction to us.

To be led by the Holy Spirit means complete control. When we study Luke Chapter 4, Luke points out four key words:
1. Full
2. Led
3. Power
4. Anointed

You can't be led by the Holy Spirit if you are not full of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 5:6 King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

It is about choices.
Self will versus God's will.
The spirit versus the world.
Choosing righteousness over wrongdoing.
Submitting to the word of God.
Praying lots and lots in tongues: making use of the Holy Spirit within.
Strengthening the inner man (or woman).
Going to meetings and being with one's brothers and sisters in Christ.
To love righteousness.
Praying in the Holy Ghost heaps every day.
Reading the Word, and doing it.
Being a new creation in Christ Jesus.
Living Romans chapter 12.
Having the evidence of the fruit of the Holy Spirit in your walk.
Being an overcomer.
Upholding the truth and integrity of one's testimony.
Preaching the full gospel of salvation to the unsaved and non-Pentecostal others.

Oh, I forgot to mention POWER
the power of the Holy Spirit in one's walk and in one's faith.
To lay hands on the sick and to pray for healing.
To pray for others and expect one's prayers to be answered.
To experience the joy of many many miracles, healings and blessings.

11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ
from the dead
shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Romans 8:11-14

16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one
to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Galatians 5:

Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Gal 6:6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Gal 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Gal 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

A Spirit led life will not sin.

1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Joh 16:13 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.

2Ti 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

A Spirit led life will understand the word of God.

Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
Joh 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Joh 16:22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

A Spirit led life will have comfort,peace,love,joy,and a stable mind.Traits that cause us to love people no matter how they act towards us,and we can tolerate them,and love them,which Jesus gives us joy that no person takes away,and the joy of the LORD is our strength.

If we try to live for God without the Spirit we would not be able to be right,and we would not love people perfectly,which love is the fulfilling of the law.

If someone feels compelled to witness to somebody down the street or something like that.

I came here this morning to post a devotional by Spurgeon (again.)

Ends up it is an answer to your question, so here it is.

“Praying in the Holy Ghost.” Jude 1:20


Mark the grand characteristic of true prayer-”In the Holy Ghost.” The seed of acceptable devotion must come from heaven’s storehouse. Only the prayer which comes from God can go to God. We must shoot the Lord’s arrows back to him. That desire which he writes upon our heart will move his heart and bring down a blessing, but the desires of the flesh have no power with him.


Praying in the Holy Ghost is praying in fervency. Cold prayers ask the Lord not to hear them. Those who do not plead with fervency, plead not at all. As well speak of lukewarm fire as of lukewarm prayer-it is essential that it be red hot. It is praying perseveringly. The true suppliant gathers force as he proceeds, and grows more fervent when God delays to answer. The longer the gate is closed, the more vehemently does he use the knocker, and the longer the angel lingers the more resolved is he that he will never let him go without the blessing. Beautiful in God’s sight is tearful, agonizing, unconquerable importunity. It means praying humbly, for the Holy Spirit never puffs us up with pride. It is his office to convince of sin, and so to bow us down in contrition and brokenness of spirit. We shall never sing Gloria in excelsis except we pray to God De profundis: out of the depths must we cry, or we shall never behold glory in the highest. It is loving prayer. Prayer should be perfumed with love, saturated with love-love to our fellow saints, and love to Christ. Moreover, it must be a prayer full of faith. A man prevails only as he believes. The Holy Spirit is the author of faith, and strengthens it, so that we pray believing God’s promise. O that this blessed combination of excellent graces, priceless and sweet as the spices of the merchant, might be fragrant within us because the Holy Ghost is in our hearts! Most blessed Comforter, exert thy mighty power within us, helping our infirmities in prayer.

PRO. 1-7.

My son, if thou wilt receive My Words, and hide My Commandments with thee;

So that thou incline your ear unto Wisdom, and apply your heart to Understanding;

Yea, if thou criest after Knowledge, and liftest up your voice for Understanding;

If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures;

Then shalt you Understand the fear of The LORD, and find the Knowledge of God.

For The LORD gives Wisdom: out of His mouth cometh Knowledge and Understanding.

He lays up sound Wisdom for the righteous: He is A Buckler to them that Walk Uprightly.

Galatians 5:

I see there's no need for me to post here, lol. You got it nailed. The fruit of the Spirit is where the rubber meets the road in being led by the Holy Spirit. If we 'act' like the fruit of the Spirit in all we say and think and do then we will be pleasing to God and be filled with his life in the abundance he said he came and died for us to have.


"10 ...find out what pleases the Lord." (Ephesians 5:10 NIV)

"...understand what the Lord’s will is." (Ephesians 5:17 NIV)

"The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love." (Galatians 5:6 NIV)

"
10If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete." (John 15:10 NIV)


I found that this truth about walking in the Spirit is the best kept secret in the church. You can tell because of how most Christians behave. But like Jesus said, only a few find the narrow path to the abundant life:


14 ....small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." (Matthew 7:14 NIV)

I see all these posts talking about how tongues is the evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I have always disagreed with this, Love is the evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the fruit must manifest, before the gifts.

John 4:24, “Yah is Spirit, and those who worship Him need to worship in spirit and truth.”

Isaiah 59:21, “As for Me, this is My covenant with them,” said יהוה: “My Spirit that is upon you, and My Words that I have put in your mouth, shall not be withdrawn from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants’ descendants,” said יהוה, “from this time and forever.”

John 6:63, “It is the Spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The Words (Instructions) that I speak to you, they are Spirit, and they are life everlasting.”

Hebrews 4:12-13, “For the Word of Yah is living, and working, and sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through even to the dividing of being and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all are naked and laid bare before the eyes of Him with whom is our account."

Continually seeking to grow in the truth and walk that YHWH desires.

Walk in love.

Rejoice in the Lord.

"And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. "Ephesians 5:18-21
