Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. (Psalm 143:10 KJV)
When going through the process of that which is called “Life” –we always want the Holy Spirit to guide us. If we ask, He will lead us in the right direction at all times. He is our “true Compass” in all paths of our lives.
Acts shows in great detail how the Holy Spirit worked mightily for the Apostles, in and of all they encountered, and essentially were lead by the Spirit to do His will. Perhaps one of the passages that comes to mind is that of the eunuch in Ethiopia, who had authoritiy under Candance queen of the Ethiopians.
The angel of the Lord spoke to Philip giving explicit instructions of what he should do. (Acts 8:26). The Lord gave Philip a direct command, and when God guides you, it would behoove us to “follow” His direction and orders. The eunuch–a gentile–was reading a passage from the prophet Isaiah (Esaias) and didn’t grasp the meaning of the words. The Holy Spirit guided Philip to accomplish the will of God through this eunuch, by giving him the ability to teach accordingly. The unction of the Spirit guides Philip and allowed the eunuch to absorb the meaning of the scripture.
The eunuch was reading Isaiah 53:7-8- which is the prophecy and witness of Jesus Christ. Wtih God guiding, and us following, the truth is a blessing to everyone. The eunuch needed someone to guide him ( he was thirsty and desiring to learn… the Lord placed it in his heart) and help him to understand. So through the Spirit, and with Philip allowing the Spirit to fully engage, the eunuch understood completely. The eunuch latched onto the teaching of Philip very quickly. And, by the Holy Spirit’s guidance, the eunuch wanted to be baptized, and so he was.
We can do all things through Christ…and the Spirit will guide us giving us wisdom to do so. “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth the, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” (John 14:21 KJV)
Manifest in this particular verse, means to “cause to be shown plainly and clearly, causing to be seen, which wouldn’t have been recognizable or easily understood, without the prompting and guidance of the Spirit. If we love Jesus and keep His commandments as best we can, He will help us see, hear and understand.
When we let the Spirit have full access to our lives, and keep the commandments, and ask for His help…He will give us the unction to intuitively know when God is opening or shutting doors in our life. That same unction will allow us to spiritually discern right from wrong.We will have spiritual eyes and ears to complete our walk of faith.
But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, Whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John 14:26 KJV)
God’s children, who are following Him, have peace in a chaotic world. When serving God, there is nothing to worry about, or fear. When we place our trust in God and keep our faith, we are protected under His wings irrespective of conditions that plague society overall. He will always protect His children.
Today there is a lot of corruption that is not only abundant in the news, but the decaying effects have begun to seep in thereby cluttering our path. Much like the leavened bread…a little leaven will corrupt the whole piece of bread. (Galatians 5:9 ) Leaven represents sin in this passage, and sin is plenty in this world…look around, you won’t have to look too far.
The counsel of the Lord is with those who revere Him, He will deliver us out of the net of the iniquity. “The secret of the LORD is with them that fear Him; and He will shew them His covenant. Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for He shall pluck my feet out of the net.” (Psalm 25:14 KJV) — Fear which means to revere Him.
The enemies of the LORD are many. They desire to remove God from our vocabulary, they want Him out of our schools, and they mock and dislike those who love and follow Him. Put your trust in God, and God’s word.
When we put our trust in God, and His mighty Spirit that dwells within to guide us in all transactions of our life, He not only will lift, exalt, and protect us, He will bless us abundantly. What a mighty God we serve…Amen~
Blessings & Peace in His precious name~
