This matter is very important because, even though you have been a Christian for many years, you will never be able to experience success for the various areas of your life if you are not led by the Holy Spirit.
It is necessary to begin to know the Holy Spirit by beginning to understand it through the Word of God. He is in himself, all that the Word says He is; He will do in himself all that the Word says He will do.
When you discover how he manifests himself and surrender to his presence, you will have success for your life.
The Holy Spirit is the third person of God and is today on Earth, however, in many Churches he is not allowed to enter. Pastors have to program everything for their Church, and when the Holy Spirit wants to instruct them in some aspects, they do not have permission to do so.
They have already come with me, some Pastors who ask:
"What is the secret to the great growth of your Church?"
The answer I give is always the following: "One of the secrets is to be guided by the Holy Spirit.
GOD GUIDE OF VARIOUS MODES
Who guides us is the third person of God, the Holy Spirit is not God the Father but God the Holy Spirit.
John 16:13 - "But when that Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you in all truth, for He will not speak of Himself, but will say all that He has heard, and announce to you what is to come.
God guides his children in several ways:
1 - Through the Word of God. (The Word of God is always in the 1st place).
2 - Through our spirit.
(The Holy Spirit is who resides in us and speaks to our spirit).
3 - Through dreams
4 - Through visions
5 - Through the prophecies
THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD
Jesus is God and is the written Word, therefore, God always speaks 100% according to the written Word.
There are Christians who are looking for God's guidance in many places, but many of those people do not go to the right place.
If you want to know what God's will is for your life, for your business, your home, your profession, you can find it in the Word of God. If you want God to guide you in this or that area, look in the Bible for God's will that the right place is always the Word of God. He has the solution for all things.
GOD TALKING TO JOSHUA TO SHARE A SECRET FOR SUCCESS
JOSHUA 1: 8 "Let not the book of this law depart from your mouth, but meditate on it, day and night, that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it, for then you will make your way prosperous, and, then, you will prudently conduct yourself. "
Joshua is encouraged to meditate on the Word of God to speak the same thing that God speaks and do according to what is written in the Bible. So Joshua would be successful because the Word of God is his will for all areas of our life.
In Matthew 7:24 we read:
"Everyone, then, who listens to these words and practices them, resembles the wise man who built his house on the rock.
Each Christian must make his type of life consist of listening and practicing the Word of God.
Many only like to have the title of religious, they are full of knowledge but nothing in practice.
Christianity is not having a religion but being, being a disciple of Jesus in all the meaning of the Word.
God directs us and instructs us through His Word - we must listen to and practice the Word of God.
