John 16:13  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, (reality) is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

A. Walking in the Spirit is walking in love and faith. The Spirit of Truth = The Spirit of reality.

B. Have correct motivations. James 4:3  Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

C. Walk in love. 1 Corinthians 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

THREE SIMPLE SECRETS FOR WALKING IN THE SPIRIT

1. Be a Word person. Make sure you’re doing everything based on the Word of God. 1 John 5:14-15 (KJV) And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us; 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that have the petitions that we desired of him
2. Ask simple questions that God can answer with a simple yes or no. (Sometimes it’s a knowing, a sense or witness.) Matthew 5:37 (KJV) But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
3. Wait on and recognize the witness of the Holy Spirit. Deuteronomy 19:15b …at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. John 5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

Proverbs 16:7 When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

Isaiah 30:21 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.

Proverbs 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

You’ll never lose if you don’t quit.

“You haven’t deviated too far. I can get you back on My course, the one that I plotted for you. And as you do it, things will improve and get better, and better, and better. And you’ll get better at what you do. Just let Me guide you. Stop trying to be your own guide, that’s the Holy Spirit’s job. You don’t know the future; the Holy Spirit does. You don’t know everything about the mind of God or the will of God, but the Holy Spirit does. You don’t know everything about the Word of God, but the Holy Spirit does.” ~ Pastor Larry
