Being Led by the Spirit – Biblical Key to Christian Living

7 Biblical Keys for Christian Living

Being led by the Spirit is a Biblical key to the Christian life.  At times does living the Christian life seem impossible? Well, let me tell you a secret–it is– if you’re trying to do it on your own. God never intended for us to go it alone. He gave us the Holy Spirit to help us.  I want to encourage to be led by the Spirit of God it is an absolute must to live the Christian Life.

One of the most amazing things about the Holy Spirit is He lives on the inside of you. “Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God,”. (1Corinthians 6:19) In other words the Spirit of God is living in you! He is there to comfort you, lead you, keep you, teach you, guide you in truth, show you things to come, and give you peace. (John 14:15-18; 16:13-15) (I have a list of 44 things the Holy Spirit does CLICK HERE for a copy)

Here’s the thing though, He does not force Himself into your life. You have to choose to DEPEND ON HIM and BE LED BY HIM. You have to ask Him for help. You have to choose to tap into the Holy Spirit and all the resources He has available for you. You’ve been given an incredible gift – someone who as the ability to enable you to live the Christian life with boldness, courage, and victory and it is the – the Holy Spirit. BEING LED BY THE SPIRIT IS HUGE FOR YOUR LIFE!   It sounds simple, but here’s the challenge most of us tend to depend on other things; our education, our own reasoning and thinking, the government, our jobs, what others say, and the list goes on. So, the question is, are you being led by the Holy Spirit or by others?  Why not start right now following the leading of the Holy Spirit in every area of your life?

Being Led by the Spirit – 4 things that can help-

1. Ask for His Help – “You have not because you ask not”. (James 4:3) Make it a habit to ask Him to help you, not after the fact, but in the everyday journey. He is ready – it’s what He does!
2. Surrender your will to His will – (Luke 22:42) Make the Holy Spirit the Captain of your life. He knows what’s best. Don’t be bull headed – let Him lead!
3. Cooperate with the Holy Spirit – Surrendering is the first step, but then you need to work with Him not against Him. This begins by renewing your mind with the truth of God’s Word. (Romans 12:1)
4. Obey! Obedience is better that sacrifice. (1Samuel 15:22) It is amazing how we try to convince ourselves what we are doing is right because of the “sacrifice” we are making to do what ever we’re doing – the work, the time, the money, the service, the pain, etc. What we need to do, is just “obey”, do what God says to do through the Holy Spirit. It can be spoken through His Word or by that small voice on the inside. If we are going to truly depend on the Holy Spirit we need to obey what He tells us to do or not do.

Being led by the Spirit each day is a key to living the Christian Life!
