Have you ever been lost?
Have to ask for directions?… not any more, we have maps on our phones.
Have you ever been misled by your map app?
It’s important to have the right guide to get us around town… same in life
Choosing Your Future… Choosing the Right Guide …
Ever wonder why Jesus had to go back to heaven?
screen only
Jesus was saying the HS was acutally better than having him with us.
Why? HS is not limited to one location.
He is with us all the time… in us all the time...
Holy Spirit vs. Holy Ghost… KJV 1611 and words don’t mean the same today.
Ways the Holy Spirit Wants to help You Every Day
1.
If I listen to the Holy Spirit, He will help me Know what I need to know.
First thing HS does… lets us know hat we need to know… when we need to know it.
If you learn to listen to HS, he wil lead you every day in the moment you need him to let you know something,
ILL - Have you ever read a bible verse in the morning and it be the exact verse you needed that day?
That’s the HS.
He knows in advance what you need and will give it to you.
He helps you in advance and he helps you in the moment you need him.
Might read a verse… a book… an article… hear a song...
Jesus said
He will give you what you need… the truth you need.
Can’t build your life on lies.
He will give you little nudges and insights
When the HS tells you what to do, it’s called Revelation.
There is no way Simeon would have know that other than the HS telling him.
God will reveal things to you but it will never contradict the Bible.
2. If I listen to the Holy Spirit, He will help me Get where I need to go.
Not only will he let me know what I need to know, he will get me where I need to be.
There are places you need to be in life and there is no way you will be able to do it by yourself.
When God gives you a dream, there is no way you can accomplish it without him.
HS will guide you to make the right decisions for your life… your business… He will open doors for you.
Let him guide your career, your relationships, your business, everything in your life.
God told Simeon that he would not die before seeing the Savior, so when Jesus was coming to the temple, HS told Simeon to go to the temple.
Here is another example…
… describe what happened…
What are you reading?
Isaiah, but I don’t understand it.
Phillip says, I do and explains it to him, leads him to faith in Christ, baptized him and then He takes the Gospel to Africa.
3. If I listen to the Holy Spirit, He will help me Say the right things.
You mihgt be in a situation where someone asks you something you don’t know… or you may be somewhere where people are upset… the HS will give you the words you need to speak.
In conflict if you listen to the HS, he will lead you to peace.
Now, not only does he tell you what to know, tell you where to go, but he tells you what to say if you’ll listen.
That's what a guide does.
If you'll listen you'll stop saying so many stupid things.
Quite often the HS will use you and you don’t even know it.
You may make an off hand remark and it be just the thing someone needed to hear.
You didn’t know they needed that… that’s the HS.
How many times have you said that it was like God was speaking directly to you.... he was.
HS may tell me what to say because he knows who you are bringing.
Sometimes he tells you in advance.
Sermon Prep… I pray and pray about what to say each Sunday and Wednesday.
I ask God to prepare what I am going to say because he knows who he is sending to our church.
He knows what you need.
Sometimes he tells you in the moment.
KNow - Go - Say
4. If I listen to the Holy Spirit, He will help me Wait for God’s perfect timing.
Timing is important… difference between hall of famer and a nobody is timing.
You can do the eighgt hing at the wrong time and it won’t work.
Maybe God gave you an idea for a business and you want to just start it up.
NO.
3 Parts to a dream from God
He will tell you what he’s going to do.
He will tell you how to do it.
Often times God will have you do things in a way the world doesn’t understand.
He will let you know when.
He has to get us ready then it will be the time.
ECCL says there is a time for everything.
What are you waiting on?
Are you talking to the HS about it while you wait?
5.
If I listen to the Holy Spirit, He will help me Resist things I can’t normally resist.
temptations… compulsions… desires… addictions…
Point: HS power is stronger than will power.
We mess up when we try to do it o Will Power.
HS power will keep us from doing and saying all those things we wish we hadn’t.
That’s why CR is more effective than other recovery programs… has the HS
Look at the verse before...
It doesn’t say you will not have selfish desires… you will.
It says that if you are guided by the HS you will not fulfill them.
Whatever your struggles … sex, anger, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, money.
Paul doesn’t say you will never be tempted, he say that the HS will keep you from acting on the temptations.
Satan will always be after you trying to kill steal and destroy your life.
HS will guide you to live so that doesn’t happen.
6.
If I listen to the Holy Spirit, He will help me Avoid dangers and mistakes.
Part of HS job is to protect you and shield you from danger.
The Bible uses the word shield, the word shelter, the word defend, to keep you from disaster, my protector, my rock, my defender.
It is the Holy Spirit's job to protect you from dangers and mistakes.
One way he does this is by cautioning you.
He does more than whisper sweet things to you.
He will warn you about danger.
He will let you know that the path you are taking is the wrong one and you will destroy your life if you proceed.
So if you want to avoid mistakes in life… listen to the HS.
Write:
I am most likely to hear the Holy Spirit when I’m relaxed.
It’s almost impossible to hear HS when you are running 100 mph and all stressed out.
It’s especially hard to hear the HS when you are afraid.
The HS doesn’t use fear based warnings.
So Paul did n’t go to Jerusalem.
How does the Holy Spirit Guide?
God can lead you through wise counsel.
