Being Led By The Spirit Of God

Being Led By The Spirit Of God
By Pastor Rickey Hunt

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
I remember as a new Christian praying one day, “Lord speak to me in a way that I can understand”. At that time I didn’t know how to hear God. I wanted to hear the Lord and be able to get his direction in my life. As I prayed that prayer that day I had faith that God had heard my prayer and was able to speak to me in a way that I could understand. There was one particular prayer request that I had. It was concerning a bible conference that I was invited to go to. Just a few days later I woke up in the middle of the night after I had a dream. In this dream I saw a cloud open up and I saw a man teaching the word of God. As I pondered on this dream, I didn’t know what it meant and soon went back to sleep. Well a few days later on Sunday morning my friend that had invited me to the conference handed me a brochure of the conference. As I opened the brochure I immediately saw the pictures of the speakers. In the line up of speakers I saw the man that I had seen in my dream. I already felt good about going to this conference, but I knew God was speaking to me in a way that I would understand. He answered my prayer. I went to this conference and was blessed. Probably the greatest blessing in this, was I knew God had spoken to me in a way that I could understand. From this point on I knew God could make his will known unto me no matter what. Does God speak to me in visions and dreams all the time? No, he does not. Most of the time I have that knowing in my spirit that this is the way that the Lord is leading. In Romans 8:16 it says that the Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit. Many times we refer to this as having that know that we know that we know feeling in our spirit. Be confident as we pray and study God’s word that we can be led by the Spirit.
