📍Who Is Leading You: The Holy Spirit God, the Flesh, or Another Spirit?
If you truly want to know whether you are being led by the Holy Spirit God in your life, one of the first evidences will be this: the Spirit of Jesus Christ who lives in you will lead you into holiness.
He is a holy God. Therefore, His Spirit will lead His children, teach His children, correct His children, and continually work within them so that they develop and grow in holiness in their personal lives, family lives, and church and ministry lives.
📌Hebrews 12:14 declares
“without holiness no one will see the Lord”
Holiness is not merely outward religious behavior. It is the work of God within us that confronts sin, separates us from sin, and brings our lives increasingly into obedience to Jesus Christ and His written Word. As children of God, the Holy Spirit God will begin to reveal the areas of sin within us. He first removes the blindness that the devil has placed over our hearts and minds and teaches us to recognize the areas, reasons, roots, and origins of sinful desires, thoughts, and actions in our lives.
Much of this involves our flesh, the old habits and sinful desires developed before salvation and our unrenewed mind, the old patterns of selfish, unworthy, lustful, and worldly thinking and perceptions. The Holy Spirit God exposes these things so that they can be confronted, rejected, and brought into obedience to Jesus Christ.
The Bible teaches us that sin is lawlessness, the breaking and rejection of God’s commandments, His will, and His purposes revealed through His Word (1 John 3:4).
Sin may offer a temporary, fleeting moment of pleasure or self-gratification, but its fruit is death. It produces guilt, sorrow, bo***ge, hopelessness, separation from fellowship with God, and opens the door for the influence and attacks of unclean spirits. If sin is continually embraced without repentance, its final end is eternal separation from God.Therefore, the Holy Spirit God will never lead you contrary to the Word of God. He will expose what is sinful, convict you of what is wrong, teach you the truth, and lead you into a life of repentance, obedience, righteousness, and holiness.
If a spirit continually leads a person to excuse sin, tolerate sin, justify rebellion, gratify the flesh, or live contrary to God’s Word, that leading is not from the Holy Spirit God, but from an evil spirit, the flesh, or the influence of this fallen world. The Holy Spirit God is holy. Therefore, those who truly surrender to Him, listen to Him, and follow Him will continually be led away from sin and into holiness, righteousness, purity, and greater conformity to Jesus Christ-Evg.Samuel Meesala
