But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth)….-John 16:13
Divine guidance is God’s will for His children. We must believe that God does desire to speak to us and that we can hear from Him. One of the ministries of the Holy Spirit in our lives is to guide or lead us into God’s will for us in each situation.
I don’t believe that anyone immediately knows how to be led by the Spirit. We learn in these areas, and it takes teaching, studying, training, exercising, and making a few mistakes.
Making a mistake is not the end of the world; not learning from our mistake is a greater mistake than the original error.
Have a pioneering spirit and be willing to learn. Here are some pointers that will help you:
1. Have regular prayer and fellowship time with God.
2. Be careful what you hear. Create an atmosphere that is conducive to hearing God.
3. Want God’s will more than your own.
4. Know that God leads step-by-step. He often does not show you the entire plan at the beginning.
5. Be a thankful person.
6. Be led by peace and wisdom.
The Holy Spirit desires to lead you into God’s good plan for your life; He will speak to you, and you can hear Him.
