Best Guide: Holy Spirit

  1. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God; Counselor; Comforter; Coach; Advocate; Strengthener; Sanctifier; Spirit of Truth; Spirit of Grace; Spirit of Mercy; Spirit of Holiness; Spirit of Life; teacher; reminder, testifier of Jesus Christ, One who convicts of sin, convinces of righteousness, judges Satan, and desires to be our

    in life.

  2. When the Spirit of truth comes, He will

    you into all truth.

  3. STRONGS says that the word

    is odega, meaning, “I guide, lead, drive and steer“. Greek scholar Rick Renner expands the definition as a tour guide or one who would lead you on an excursion.

  5. I am convinced that if a person isn’t called by God to be a “good tour guide,” he/she will eventually end up on a “

  10. Remember, we’ve seen in the past few weeks that the Holy Spirit is not only our cross-examiner, He’s also our faithful guide who is going to get us across the goal line at the

    .

  11. Because the Holy Spirit is the only One who knows the future, that makes Him the only One who is truly

    to lead us through life.

  12. In order for us to be led by the Spirit, obviously, we need to listen for His voice…and be willing to obey what He tells us. When we do, we will find our path being established and experience signs and wonders just as they did in the Book of

    !

Isaiah 42:16 - I will lead blind Israel down a new path,

_ them along an unfamiliar way. I will brighten the darkness before them and smooth out the road ahead of them. Yes, I will indeed do these things; I will not forsake them.
