Leading Of The Holy Spirit

The New Testament church did not have technology such as telephones to communicate across long or short distances when there was an urgent need. It had the leading of the Holy Spirit. When people were in desperate need of prayer, the Holy Spirit would lead certain people to pray for them. Physical distance never mattered for the Holy Spirit. When a person was in desperate need in one city, the Holy Spirit would lead someone in the same city, another city, or another nation to pray for them. The Holy Spirit would lead someone (to pray) before, during, or after a desperate need (of another person), depending on God's will, but always at the right time. The New Testament church did not have any means of technology via telephone to share their prayers with others in times of urgent need. They share their urgent prayer request to God, and God, through the Holy Spirit, leads someone to pray for them.

God does everything in response to prayer. They lacked technology such as cell phones, but they had tremendous leading of the Holy Spirit. They were filled with so much of the Holy Spirit and had tremendous leading of Holy Spirit. They just had the Holy Spirit, and it was to the full (in abundance) . Even without sharing prayer requests, the Holy Spirit led people to pray for each other's specific needs. This generation is completely opposite; they have a lot of technology but don’t have the leading of the Holy Spirit. People don’t know what is the leading of the Holy Spirit. They are not full of Holy Spirit, don’t have the fire of the Holy Spirit and not led by the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is missing in their lives, because of which they don’t have leading of the Holy Spirit. The needy are still in need. Technology has simplified human communication, but it could not establish a communication with God. We need to return to New testament ways of relying and depending on the leading of Holy Spirit. God will impact the lives of countless people when His people follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. We use technology to convey our prayer requests with others(pastor, evangelist, prayer warrior) when we are in desperate need, but somewhere it has removed our direct dependency on God. These others could be a pastor, an evangelist, or a prayer warrior with a strong prayer life and a reputation for bringing answers from God. Technology somewhere has brought a human – a pastor, preacher, healing evangelist between you and God.

A person must first share his desperate prayer request to God, then to others. People use technology, such as cell phones, to seek human help before relying solely on God's help.

What do you do when you are in a jungle with no network and are in desperate need. There is no choice except to cry out to God. Somewhere, technology brought some human help, but it made people depend on people rather than God only. When in need we use cell phones, we call a spiritual person, such as a pastor or an elder, to request prayer, rather than praying to God and having God lead someone to pray for and lead us. God leading someone to pray for us is more beneficial than reaching out to a large number of people for prayer. Return to the New Testament way of life, depending only on the Holy Spirit and follow the leading of Holy Spirit.
