Follow THE Leader: Holy Spirit

  1. The Apostle Paul said in Romans 8:14 For as many as are

    by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

  2. Benjamin Franklin once said, “Do not mix with those who ruin themselves – they will not fail to

    you.”

  3. In the original Greek the text for Romans 8:14 reads like this: “For as many as by the Spirit of God are being

    , they are the sons of God.”

  4. We get a better understanding of the Greek word (ago), when we see that it comes from another Greek root word (agon) which describes an “intense

    and ”, similar to a ‘wrestling match or a struggle of the human will.’

  5. It all comes down to our

    to either follow our own thoughts, or, by taking them captive, being led by the Holy Spirit.

  6. Paul is telling us in Philippians 2:12-13 that as we

    choose to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, He will give us the desires and power to please him!

  7. Willingly following the Holy Spirit causes us to put on the righteousness of God and accomplish things that we could never do in our own

    .

  8. It is by

    truth, and a pursuit of righteousness, that we renew our minds to become vessels of honor in the house of God!

  9. As we have our minds renewed with truth, and follow the Spirit of Truth, (our new leader), we experience greater victory over our flesh, and putting on the new man becomes easier and

    .

  10. The evidence that we’re

    in the Lord shows as we develop the ability to receive instruction and to sense in our spirit where the Lord is leading, and then following His leading.

  11. No matter how bad the “struggle gets” in following our leader, the process of trusting His leading is the

    to live a super-natural life in God!
