‘If we are saved and sanctified, God guides us by
our everyday choices. And if we are about to choose what He does not want, He
will give us a sense of doubt or restraint, which we must heed. Whenever there
is doubt, stop at once. Never try to reason it out, saying, “I wonder why I
shouldn’t do this?” God instructs us in what we choose; that is, He actually
guides our common sense. And when we yield to His teachings and guidance, we no
longer hinder His Spirit by continually asking, “Now, Lord, what is Your will?”’
CHAMBERS
Have you ever felt the “tug” of the Holy Spirit
during the day? A sense that you should
not do something? But you push your way
past that and do it anyway? We are so
determined to do it our way. Paul talked
about his tendency to do what he should not in Romans 7. It is so
frustrating. And the real danger is that
if we do it often enough, it becomes less and less difficult to push past the
Spirit. God has warned us … “Do not quench the Spirit” (1 Thessalonians 5:19) … Do not ignore what the Spirit is saying to
you .. God put His Spirit in you for a number of reasons .. teaching ..
directing … sanctifying are several of them … You must condition yourself to recognize when
the Spirit is leading you … (Galatians
5:16-17) “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the
lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit
against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do
the things that you wish.”
(Galatians
5:24-25) “And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its
passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
“ The only way you are going to do that is to pursue God through His Word,
prayer and worship.
