Holy Spirit Led
Who--or what--leads you in your daily life? What actually drives you? Ambassador Paul made this statement to the Kingdom citizens of Rome: For all who are allowing themselves to be led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. Romans 8:14 AMP Are you led by our Governor--the Holy Spirit--or by the things of this world such as social media, entertainment or the news media? Now understand this, being led by the Spirit requires one to be filled with the Holy Spirit. “Lord, why are You going to reveal Yourself only to us and not to the world at large?”
Jesus replied, “All who love Me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and We will come and make Our home with each of them. John 14:22-23 NLT
Also, please note that while the King was here on this earth He was led by the Holy Spirit, because He was filled with the Holy Spirit. Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness Luke 4:1 When you allow things or people to occupy your mind rather than the things of God and His constitution, it will weaken your faith in the King. Doubt oozes in, clouding your judgment and your faith! The Lord Jesus, or His disciples, never got involved with politics or their government. Even when Peter tried to stop them from arresting King Jesus by cutting off the ear of the high priest's slave, Jesus put it back and submitted peacefully with them. Then Simon Peter drew a sword and slashed off the right ear of Malchus, the high priest’s slave. But Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back into its sheath. Shall I not drink from the cup of suffering the Father has given me?” John 18:10-11 NLT The focus of King Jesus was on doing His Father's will and commands. The Lord Jesus considered the will of the Lord God as food, which it is for those of who walk by the Spirit. But He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”
Therefore the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?”
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. John 4:32-34
Being led by our Governor is being able to listen and obey Him. For example, the other day, I was led to go to the grocery store called Aldi's. Little did I know, that the Governor would have me to be a blessing to an older couple who were shopping. I saw them while shopping, but never gave it a thought. By the way, this is the short version of this assignment! The man could barely walk, even as he walked with a cane. When I noticed that I thanked the Father for healing me. Just a few weeks earlier I needed a cane to assist me in walking. After I finished my shopping I headed to the checkout, After leaving the cashier, I noticed that the couple were right behind me in line. Thinking nothing of it, as I was about to leave, the Governor led me back to the cashier to pay for their groceries. I was reminded at that moment that all I have belongs to the King and that I own nothing. I am here only to fulfil His will. That is my food! “O my people, listen as I speak. Here are My charges against you, O Israel: I am God, your God! I have no complaint about your sacrifices or the burnt offerings you constantly offer. But I do not need the bulls from your barns or the goats from your pens. For all the animals of the forest are mine, and I own the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird on the mountains, and all the animals of the field are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for all the world is mine and everything in it." Psalm 50:7-12 NLT He may have been speaking to Israel, but it applies to His citizens today, for the King is eternal and owns everything!
Being led by our Governor is being protected by the King. We are in His care. Ambassador Paul was always being led by the Governor and he was under the protection of the King. Nothing could harm him. Now when they had escaped, they then found out that the island was called Malta. And the natives showed us unusual kindness; for they kindled a fire and made us all welcome, because of the rain that was falling and because of the cold. But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand. So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another,
“No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live.”
But he shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. However, they were expecting that he would swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had looked for a long time and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god. Acts 28:1-6
Keep in mind, when you are led by the Holy Spirit, everything that the Lord God allows to happen in your life is for a reason and His purpose. When you are able to see that purpose, you will know you are definitely maturing in the Lord God's Kingdom! All things may not seem good in the moment, but they are ultimately for the good of His citizens. That should give you peace. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them. Romans 8:28 NLT
Remember, your greatest asset is your faith in the Lord God's Word.
