Our faith in God’s overwhelming abilities.
The Holy Spirit is not a inner GPS that says.>"turn right, do that, go there".
Generally no - but in exceptional circumstances He can lead in this way for a short time.
Christ is the Word of God, and the Word of God is Jesus and he was in every believer even before the Holy Ghost was given as scripture says.The Holy Spirit is Christ in you.
Also, and regarding being led by the Spirit.....you'll find that He'll do it through the word most of all, and if trying to hear the voice of the Spirit, then a voice is not what you will hear.......It will be an intuition. a knowing.
The Holy Spirit is not a inner GPS that says.>"turn right, do that, go there".
and yet we read,The Holy Spirit is not a inner GPS that says.>"turn right, do that, go there".
Believers have to grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ and to know his voice. Yes, there are other voices, but in the Spirit believers hear the voice of the shepherd they will not follow the other voices if they abide n Christ. As we rwad,So, the believer does not need to try to hear VOICES, as those can be a demon, as when this type of entity talks to you, they use your own mind as if you are doing it.
“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16 KJV)For example....
" i wonder what it would feel like.... to be with that beautiful women or man"....
It could be the carnal mind or the voice of a devil etc. But if we walk in the Spirit and have ears to hear God will show us the good and the evil.See that?
That is your mind, and its a voice, and its perhaps not you.
“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” (2 Corinthians 10:5 KJV)Or, im certain that you've had the experience of having some really VILE thought, that just came out of nowhere...
And sometimes this can happen in your prayer time......this "vile vile thought.....",, and reader that is not you.
Not every believer will "automatically believe" it is God as Jesus said we do not hear the voice of strangers and do not follow them, Those led by the Spirit do not fulfill the lust of the flesh.So, believer's who are "voice in your head led" and automatically believe its "God" are the ones who blow up Abortion Clinics and burn Christians at the Stake.
and yet we read,
“And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” (Isaiah 30:21 KJV)
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.” (Proverbs 37:23 KJV)
“O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.”
“A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.”
“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16 KJV)
“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” (2 Cpr. 10:5 KJV)
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” ( Romans 8:14 KJV)
"Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." (Hebrews 13:20, 21 KJV)
“Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.” (Psalms 85:13 KJV)And that is related to the Law, as this is a "Light unto my path, and a Lamp unto my feet".
“Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.” (Psalms 85:13 KJV)
"The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.” (Psalms 37:23 KJV)
Today if you hear His voice harden not your hearts.
if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear,
And thy ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, {s} walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
(s) God will direct all your ways and appoint you how to go either hither or thither."
21. thine ears shall hear a word behind thee] that of Jehovah, walking like a Father behind His children. Cf. Isaiah 29:18.
Yet, "there are none good, none righteous", as "all have sinned".
only if we yield to the flesh and not to the Spirit. If we abide in Him and walk in the Spirit we will NOT fulfill the lust of the fleshSo, if we say..>"the Born again is the Righteousness of God in Christ, and that is TRUE,...yet... its also true that God can order your steps as His will for you, but you do what YOU WANT, instead.
no I seek to be led of the Spirit as even now.But what you are doing is YOUR CHOICE.
Yes He is, I was led to read and comment on certain things. Yes, we are still growing and learning and at times we may hear clearer than other times. But still this is the only way to walk in in faith. So many walk in the carnal vanity of their mind and the flesh.God is not directing you to read my posts.
But if I was to go to eat something dangerous God I believe would guard me and direct me and protect me.God is not going to choose for you what you eat later, or what time you go to bed, tonight.
Believers do have a choice to walk in the Spirit and from the new man in Christ or to walk in the flesh. But we are exhorted to walk in the Spirit and not to fulfill the lust of the flesh.YOU ARE Choosing to do it.. As its YOUR LIFE, and your WILL.
So, there is more to your verses then just reading them as if they are a dictionary, @LoveofTruth
Gods way is perfect and right and mans way is not. God directs those who hear and walk in the Light. He can also judge men in many ways.And that again is to be understood in the Light of Free will.
As God is not directing anyone to KILL JEWS or to RAPE Children,..... yet they do.
Yes we have a choice but we can only bring things into captivity of Christ is we abide in him and walk in the light. We are a new creation if we walk this way. In the new creation we can do all things. But the old man needs to be crucified daily.YOU Choose to cast them down.
Free will.
We do not earn salvation by our works, but God works in us at salvation and as we abide in him and overcome to the end through faith. Christ dwells in our hearts by faith and in Christ we can do all things.And that is not related to doing.... or trying to become something.
its related to understanding Salvation, perfection, as revelation Knowledge.
Gods way is perfect and right and mans way is not. God directs those who hear and walk in the Light. He can also judge men in many ways.
We are a new creation if we walk this way.

It speaks of God working inwardly as many verses do. Even the Gentiles of all time have had this inner workingAnd that verse is talking to Jews, who were not Christians.
So, its always describing the Law.. in this case.
Yes, agreed. But when a person repents and believes and is made the righteousness of God then he can be called a righteous man in Christ through faith . We are made the righteousness of God and can do all things in Christ. These god works we do come from a new heart and life. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart/"all have sinned" "there are none righteous, no NOT ONE'..
All believers can harden their hearts and not hear, and they are often exhorted to hear and listen in the spirit for God's voice. Because at times they can be tempted and yield to the flesh and sin.So, this is not speaking to the Born again., as the born again are already born again.
Yes, I agree i was only pointing out anothers understanding of the voice behind.No one is pre-destined to believe, but all are allowed to believe.
John 3:16
I suppose when all Jesus sheep hear His voice you may say the same to them?And if you are hearing audible voices that are talking to you from behind, please have that cast out, as its a demon.
Or, please report to your local mental health facility and they can perhaps medicate you so that the "outside voices" stop.
As I said, all have to make choices to yield to the Spirit or the flesh. And there are many things in life all believers grow in and work through and God judges the heart and knows the mind of all.Really?
Is that why some Christians Hate Jews and support HAMAS?
is that why some Christians, blow up abortion clinics?
Christians.......all over the world........many, are watching NETFLIX....and this Channel is "MOSTLY R-Rated shows"....so, is God directing them to do it tonight, and last night?
Reader...
if you are hearing voices outside of your head, then see a exorcist, or see a shrink.

this word "the word of the Lord came unto" is often repeated in many ways in scripture. They were men of sound mind and chosen by God.if you are hearing voices outside of your head, then see a exorcist, or see a shrink.
If anyone is interested in some literature regarding how to commune with the Holy Spirit, inside yourself, then you might pick up this book.
And this is not a 'how to"......its not a roadmap....its a Believer's reference guide, regarding some spiritual Truth.

But I tell you the truth, it is profitable for you that I should go away; for unless I go away the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
