Are you Spirit led?

Luk_4:1  And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

Rom_8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Led by the Spirit.

The Holy Spirit will lead us. How do we know the Holy Spirit is leading us? Do we imagine the dove form the Holy Spirit took to light upon Jesus after His baptism guided Him? It's possible, but we do know that the Holy Spirit is not always in the form of a dove. Read this--

Act 2:3  And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

Act 2:4  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

And it's not always a form at all-

Act 8:39  And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

The Spirit of the Lord CAUGHT away Philip, and we aren't told what form the Spirit took, and we very well could comprehend that no grand form appeared.

Being filled with the Holy Spirit.  We aren't going to feel another being enter our bodies as depicted of angels in various movies, angels in the guise of evil spirits and angels in the form of good spirits- the movies do all sorts of things.  We just aren't going to have that sort of experience of being filled with the Spirit. We can't hold out waiting for that at all.  We can't expect the Spirit in the form of a dove, nor tongues of flames to rest upon us.

We are led by the Spirit of our Lord when we are doing the will of our Father, because on our own we cannot ever do the will of our Father. We must have the Spirit in us to do God's will. We are filled with the Spirit when we are born again in the Spirit, and anything that is of God is of the Spirit. We live in the Spirit.  And we can grieve the Holy Spirit, we can live outside of the Holy Spirit, God forbid that happens to us!

Eph 4:30  And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

How do we grieve the Holy Spirit?  We grieve the Holy Spirit when we choose to ignore His presence in our lives!

The conscience in each of us cries out often, sometimes very loudly, other times in a whisper. That conscience is a guiding force utilized by the Holy Spirit. When we choose to ignore the voice of the Holy Spirit leading us, we grieve the Holy Spirit.

By the grace of our LORD, more on this tomorrow!

All in the love of Jesus Christ!

Amen.
