Romans 8:14
“For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.”
Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you and he will change your life!
In Acts 7:29, when Philip was walking on the Gaza road and a chariot went by, it says, “The Spirit said to Philip, ‘Go over and join this chariot.’” As Philip followed the leading of the Holy Spirit, it led to a wonderful opportunity to talk to one of the leading government officials of Ethiopia about Christ and the man put his faith in Jesus!
When the great Council of Jerusalem met in Acts 15:28, James came out of the council meeting and said, “It has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no greater burden than these requirements…”
The Holy Spirit wants to lead you in two ways. As you make yourself available to God for him to use you in other people’s lives in this world, the Spirit will guide you so that you are fulfilling his plan for you, just as he guided Philip. The main thing is your availability to him.
And in your own personal spiritual life, the Spirit wants to lead you into the great life-changing truths. He wants to transform you from the inside out! This is God’s message to you today: make your life, your mind, your heart totally available to God, and you can expect the Holy Spirit to guide you in life!
MAKE IT PERSONAL:
How have you seen the Holy Spirit prompt you to come alongside someone and help them in their spiritual journey?
