16) ”So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.
17) The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.
18) But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.
19) When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures,
20) idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division,
21) envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
22) BUT the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23) gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!”
24) Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.
25) Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Galatians 5:16-25

In order to live a spirit led life you have to

HABIT 3: LIVE A SPIRIT-LED LIFE

“Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, ―Which, He said, you heard of from Me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now… you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.” - Acts 1:4-8

I. HOW WAS THE HOLY SPIRIT FIRST REVEALED?

“When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.”
“Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. Utterly amazed, they asked: ’Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans?
“Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language? …we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!‘
“Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, ̳What does this mean?‘ Some, however, made fun of them and said, ‘They have had too much wine.‘
“Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: ̳Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It‘s only nine in the morning! No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: ̳In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.‘“ - Acts 2:1-17

II. WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?

   “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever.” - John 14:16 (NAS)
2. The Third Person in the
   Reveal Answer
   “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.” - John 14:26 (NAS)

III. WHAT DOES SPIRIT- LED LIVING PRODUCE IN OUR LIVES?

1.

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.” - John 14:16 (KJV)
“So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria enjoyed peace, being built up; and going on in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it continued to increase.” - Acts 9:31 (NAS)

2.

“But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ̳Where are You going?‘ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. ―But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment.” - John 16:5-8 (NAS)

3.

“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.” - John 16:13 (NAS)

4.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” - Acts 1:8

5.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” - Galatians 5:22-23

6.

“There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit… Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.” - 1 Corinthians 12:4-11

IV. LIVING A SUPERNATURAL LIFE

One of the main purposes of the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives is to connect us to the heavenly realms,

.

“And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.” - Ephesians 2:6-7

“However, as it is written: ̳No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him‘ - but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.” - 1 Corinthians 2:9-10

“In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below… And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” - Acts 2:17-21

God desires to give us:
1.

A dream is a picture you have in your mind of a desired future; that which gets inside of you and is beyond reason and is bigger than you on your own.

2.

A vision is that which is seen, an awake dream; you see something already done; you see something in “How to Steps.”

3.

To prophesy is to speak forth biblical truth in the mind and counsel of God that cannot be known through natural means.

the Holy Spirit.
“Now suppose one of your fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?” - Luke 11:11-13 (NAS)

3.

the gifts.
“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God‘s grace in its various forms.” - 1 Peter 4:10
