    When we want to be led by GOD'S SPIRIT - the HOLY SPIRIT, we are open to His Leading, we choose none of our ways, that is sense and reason as outlined in Romans 8:6 - the two most deadliest tools of man ever invented are his common sense and logical reasoning without the HOLY SPIRIT.

    Be Led By The HOLY SPIRIT Text: Romans 8:14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. Amplified Bible Led here came from the Greek word ago (G71) which means to bring, drive, induce, carry, keep open, lead away.

    David’s prayer from a place of tension—surrounded by enemies, wrestling with internal weakness, and longing for divine direction. He prays, “Lead me… teach me.” NOT “inform me,” NOT “inspire me,” NOT “remind me.” LEAD ME. TEACH ME. SHAPE ME. FORM ME. This is discipleship in its purest form.

The salary is higher, the city is attractive, and everyone around him says, “This is obviously the right move.” But something inside him feels unsettled. He can’t explain it. He isn’t sure if it’s fear, wisdom, or ...read more
