Welcome to the Quality Christian Living Podcast.
I am your host, David Friend. Today's podcast
is entitled, A Holy Spirit -Led Life. And there's
a lot of great things we're going to cover today.
We're going to talk about how the Holy Spirit
brings new life to Christians. And is it possible
to be led by the Spirit of God every day? And
how do we know the voice of the Holy Spirit and
that we also must desire His leading in order
to receive the guidance and direction that God
wants us to have from the Holy Spirit? So before
we get into it, let's just ask the Holy Spirit
to lead us. Heavenly Father, I thank you for
who you are. I thank you for this podcast and
how you've allowed us to have a tool that reaches
people quite frankly around the world. I pray
now that the Holy Spirit would come in and lead
and direct the words that were spoken, guide
us in the direction we should go. We surrender
to you. We ask for your intervention and all
that's said and done today. Thank you for this
opportunity. Again, I pray that those who are
listening in, that you would bless them, that
they would receive what they're tuning in for.
and I'll give you praise for it. In Jesus' name
I pray, amen. There's so much that we need to
learn about being led by the Holy Spirit and
I think that continues on through our walk with
God. I've been a Christian for a long time, but
I still need to learn something every day through
the word of God and through the leading of the
Holy Spirit to help me to follow exactly what
God wants when it comes to the Holy Spirit leading
my life. Now the Apostle Paul kind of laid the
foundation of what the transition was from the
law to the new covenant of grace. We read about
it in 2 Corinthians chapter 3 and verse 6 in
the New Living Translation. Remember these are
the words of the Apostle Paul. Here's what it
says, he has, now that's God has, so God has
enabled us to be ministers of his new covenant.
This is a covenant not of written laws, but of
the Spirit. Now that's talking about the Holy
Spirit is going to lead us and direct us. The
old law said there were strict laws and directions
underneath the laws of Moses, but Paul is telling
us that now there is a new covenant, a grace
covenant, and that's being led by the Holy Spirit.
So this is a covenant not of written laws but
of the Spirit. And the scripture continues, the
old written covenant ends in death, but under
the new covenant, the Spirit gives life. In his
scripture, Paul is telling us that the Holy Spirit
changed things. You see, before Jesus left, remember,
he told his disciples that he had to go to the
Father, but that he would leave Christians the
Holy Spirit, the Comforter. Now, Paul is telling
us in 2 Corinthians chapter 3 and verse 6 that
God made Christians capable of ministering the
new covenant. the new covenant of grace brought
on by the Holy Spirit that Jesus changed the
old laws to a new covenant of grace the words
the old written covenant that were that I read
in scripture basically refer to the law of Moses
the words under the new covenant which is greater
leads to life they're basically telling us that
the Holy Spirit is is the one who brings the
new covenant of grace to new believers the new
covenant is the Holy Spirit leading the gospel
grace. Now I know maybe that's a little technical,
maybe it's a little bit more theology than some
want, but it's so important to understand that
the transition was made because of the Holy Spirit,
through the Holy Spirit, and He changed the whole
pattern of life, the whole mindset of individuals.
It's amazing radical change that took place then
and that is still taking place to this day. Our
lives can be radically changed by the power of
the Holy Spirit and the grace of the Holy Spirit
to lead us and guide us. I believe what I just
read basically lays the foundation or the groundwork,
if you will, for understanding this podcast on
a Holy Spirit -led life. Now we cannot understand
how to be led by the Holy Spirit without surrendering
our thoughts and our actions to the Holy Spirit.
There's a step of surrender that we must take.
We've got to deny self and move closer to God.
There are three, I believe, critical ways to
be led by the Spirit of God. There's a lot more
than three, but here's three basic fundamental
things we need to do. First off, we need to seek
God first before we make decisions. If we want
to be led by the Spirit of God, we must go to
God first and seek Him. Rather than just making
decisions here and making decisions there and
doing what we think is best, we need to stop
doing that. We need to just simply say, Holy
Spirit, guide me and direct me, lead me. And
it's crucial that we do that, otherwise we cannot
be led by the Spirit of God. The second step
we need to take is to claim that the Word of
God is there to cover our life, that we Believe
the Word of God is our guide, is our direction,
is our instruction manual, if you will, to tell
us how to live this life. And the third thing
we need to do is to pray about everything. I
mean everything. You know, I've said many times
before, I don't even want to drive out of my
driveway unless I surrender to the Holy Spirit
and just ask Him, guide me, direct me. I pray
for your hand of protection. And you might think
that that's a little heavy, but I don't believe
it is at all because I believe that the Lord
wants us in all our ways to acknowledge Him and
plan our life around Him. So let me repeat very
quickly. the three things I think are crucial
to understanding how to be led by the Holy Spirit.
We need to seek the Holy Spirit, we need to pray
and ask for guidance and directions, and we must
surrender our life to God's Word. The Word of
God has instruction for every single thing that
will ever take place in our life. There's nothing,
whether it be finances, whether it be marriage,
whether it be careers, whether it be the church
that we should attend, all those things. We have
instructions on how to deal with all those issues
in our life found in the Word of God, so we've
got to get into the Word of God and place at
least some of the Word into our heart and mind
each and every every day that we live. There's
no other way to be led by the Spirit of God.
These steps really apply to everything that we
need from the Lord. Now, I'm going to kind of
change the direction of the podcast, so let's
look at the results now of seeking and praying
and reading God's word for guidance and direction
in our life. Being led by the Holy Spirit brings
the gifts and the fruit of the Spirit in our
life. It brings everything that's good that needs
to take place in our life. It brings it all to
us. We receive spiritual insight. We receive
wisdom from the Holy Spirit. We receive knowledge
from the Holy Spirit. You see, Jesus acknowledged
that he needed the Holy Spirit. We read about
it in a... amazing story in the book of Luke
in chapter 4 verses 1 and 2. Let me read that
to you right now. I believe this really shows
us how even Jesus needed the guidance and direction
of the Holy Spirit. found in Luke chapter 4,
verses 1 -2. We may go a few more verses after
that. Found in the New Living Translation. Let
me read this to you. Then Jesus, full of the
Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River.
He was led by the Spirit in the wilderness. Alright,
right there. At the very beginning, Jesus has
surrendered his will to God. Remember he did
that in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before
he was going to be crucified. And he was praying,
take this from me, Lord. Oh, just take this cup
from me. But then he quickly stopped because
the Holy Spirit told him, him to surrender to
God. He said, but no, not my will, but thy will
be done. That was the Holy Spirit intervening
in Jesus to give him direction. So let's look
at what Jesus was facing here. It's called the
temptation of Jesus. When we read verse one again,
then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, okay, returned
from the Jordan River. He was led by the Spirit
in the wilderness where he was tempted by the
devil for 40 days. Jesus ate nothing all that
time and became very hungry. Obviously he did.
So then he felt weak there, so then the devil
wants to attack him just like the devil wants
to attack us in our moment of weakness. Then
the devil said to him, if you are the son of
God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.
But Jesus told him, no, the scriptures say people
do not live by bread alone. Verse five says,
then the devil took him up and revealed to him
all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of
time. He said, I will give you the glory of these
kingdoms and authority over them. The devil said,
they are mine to give to anyone I please. I will
give it all to you if you will worship me." Jesus
replied, the scriptures say, remember, look at
this, Jesus filled the Holy Spirit, went and
used the Word of God to fight his challenge.
That's what we need to do. When the devil comes
to us and tells us this and tells us that and
tries to get us to change our thoughts on something
or modify our life or compromise on certain things,
we need to throw a scripture back at him. That's
what Jesus did. He says, the scriptures say,
you must worship the Lord your God and serve
only him. It says, Jesus, basically, was following
the three -step approach that I told you at the
beginning of this podcast, was one, we need to
seek God, we need to pray, and we need to use
the scriptures to guide and direct our lives.
So the Holy Spirit will help us and direct us
if we do those things. So basically, as we continue
to read the story, we find out that Jesus obviously
won the battle with the devil, and the Holy Spirit
was the one leading Jesus through this battle,
and He wants to lead us through every single
battle. The Holy Spirit was there for Jesus and
he's there for us each and every day. So let
me give you an example now of how the Holy Spirit
speaks to us to give us direction, give us instructions,
and to lead us. I have to refer to something
that took place many years ago when I was pastoring
our church. Let me make a statement here right
now and kind of question you. Have you, think
about this, have you ever thought that you needed
to call someone and when you called they had
a need? they needed prayer or something. Well
that happened to me on many occasions and many
Christians that I know it will have expressed
to me that they've experienced the same type
of leading of the Holy Spirit. You see one day
I was at church and I was just sitting there
making a few phone calls to people just to see
how people are doing. I like to check with them
on Saturday sometimes just to call them and visit
with them for a little bit just be sure they're
doing okay and is there anything I can pray with
them about. It was just something the Lord put
up on my heart as I pastored the church to Saturday
make contact with the people. Well on one particular
Saturday when I called this one couple I called
him and when the man answered the phone he said
yeah what do you need and I thought oh this isn't
starting off very well and I said well this is
Pastor David at the church and I just want to
just want to know is there anything I can pray
with you about and he said yeah I guess you could
he says our marriage is over we're splitting
up matter of fact we were just leaving the house
to go to the attorney's office and to start drawing
up the papers for a divorce and I said well I
believe that maybe it would be good idea if we
talked a little bit before you did that so would
you mind swinging by the church on your way to
the attorney and maybe we can talk you see what
had happened here was the Holy Spirit knew that
I was trying to contact the people but he knew
what people needed to contact more than others
so he placed this person's this couples names
in my mind, in my heart, and encouraged me to
pick up the phone right then. Now had I waited
and delayed and not done what the Holy Spirit
wanted me to do, I could have missed the opportunity
to help these people. So when I called, they
were already heading out the door, planning on
going, setting up all the paperwork for a divorce.
But I asked them, would you please stop by the
church so we could just pray a little bit and
talk before you move on your way. And he said,
yeah, I guess so. I won't do any good, but yeah,
we'll do that. So they drove by the church and
that was just me. by myself in their church on
a Saturday and they came over and we sit and
talk and we prayed and we talked and we prayed
and we talked and we prayed and within about
an hour or so you could tell that the Holy Spirit
was moving in a very special way and they said
they had thanked me for calling them because
they didn't think that God really cared it really
didn't matter if they kept their marriage together
or not and they were just telling me all of their
sadness and grief and everything but see the
Holy Spirit intervened and and used me gave me
the opportunity to be able to speak by the way
they they didn't divorce. They never did. They
basically realized that they just needed both
of them to get their eyes on Jesus and off of
the problems that they were facing. So they were
struggling with issues just like you and I struggle
with issues. But when the Holy Spirit is there
and talking to us and pleading with us and trying
to get our attention through something we read
in the Word of God or a song that we're singing
in church, then let's be sure and submit to Him
and yield to Him because He wants to lead us
and help us to go in the direction that we should
go so we can solve a lot of the problems were
faced, you know, in our life. So, I could give
you numerous examples of the Holy Spirit, you
know, speaking to me, talking to me, not in an
audible voice, I've never heard the audible voice
of the Holy Spirit, but in that still quiet voice,
that voice that says, you need to call this person,
or you need to go by and visit this person in
the hospital, or you need to do this or do that.
I always like to write those things down because
I don't want to miss out. I want to be sure that
I am given the opportunity to minister to someone
or reach out and be led by the Spirit. So please
don't think that I'm acting like some kind of
super spiritual person or whatever, but I'm really
not in any shape or form trying to do that. I
only want you to know that there are examples
that even you know you've had where that quiet
voice, that still quiet voice, told you to do
something. And we need to surrender to that still
quiet voice and allow the Holy Spirit to lead
us, to direct us, and help us in the direction
that we should go. Okay, well, I hope that helped.
I hadn't planned to talk about all that, but
I believe the Holy Spirit wanted me to share
that story with you. Now, how do I know that
it was the Holy Spirit that did that? And as
a matter of fact, let me ask you that question.
How do you know that when you're praying, it's
the Holy Spirit's voice that you're hearing or
that you're being impressed by the Holy Spirit?
Well, there's a way to confirm that and verify
whether it's the voice of God or whether it's
a self -voice or the devil trying to confuse
us, whoever. it might be. I believe that we know
it's the Holy Spirit when that still quiet voice
gives us something to bless us, to help us, to
encourage us. Now this is how my wife and I test
a thought or an action that we want to take.
First we pray. First we just pray. We find out,
Lord help us to be in agreement on something
as we want guidance and direction from the Holy
Spirit. We know if it's the Holy Spirit that
responds to us, if what we are thinking lines
up with the Word of God. The Holy Spirit is speaking
to us and He will speak to us in the way the
Word of God would tell us to go. For example,
if we're struggling on whether people care for
us or not or thinking about us or that there's
anybody out there that cares at all, the Holy
Spirit will remind us sometimes of Psalm 46 .1
that God is a very present help in times of trouble.
That's the Holy Spirit. When He throws a scripture
and He gives you a scripture that encourages
you and helps you in that situation you're going
through, we know that it's the Holy Spirit if
we are at peace with the direction that we're
hearing. We know it's the Holy Spirit. if it's
something that my wife and I are in total agreement
and in unity about, and we say, yes, that's right,
that's the direction that we should go, that's
the decision we should make. So there's so many
ways that we can know that it's the Spirit of
God, but we need to stop and listen, we need
to seek Him, we need to know if what we're hearing
lines up with God's Word, know if we're in agreement.
Now, if you're not married, you're a single person,
then find a good friend to pray with. If you
are single and you don't really have that person
around you all the time that you can talk to
and visit to and whatever, then and have a good
Christian friend and say, there's something I
need to make a decision on. Would you pray with
me? Would you talk with me? Let's have a cup
of coffee or something and just get together
and seek the Holy Spirit, pray and use God's
Word to guide and direct you. how we know that
it's the leading of the Holy Spirit that's taking
you in that direction. When the Holy Spirit leads
us, we understand God's Word better. Let me repeat
that. When the Holy Spirit is leading us, we
will understand God's Word much better. Now I
suggest that we read scriptures frequently, daily
at least. half a dozen, three or four or five
scriptures a day that we quote. I know in my
own particular case, I've had a lot of physical
problems, a lot of healings that the Lord has
healed me of, and diseases and cancers and things
that are just amazing how God did a miracle in
my life and healed me. And so I start out every
day thanking God for scriptures, like Luke 17,
19, where Jesus looked at a man and said, your
faith has healed you. and scriptures that tell
us that he prayed for the masses and they were
healed, and scriptures that tell us they healed
every kind of disease and illness. Those are
scriptures that I repeat every day and thank
him for that, not just in my life, but in the
lives of others that we pray for. So I suggest
then that we read scriptures daily, then pray
that the Holy Spirit helps us understand how
that scripture relates to us. Let me give you
an example of what I'm talking about. One of
my all -time favorite scriptures is in Proverbs
chapter 3 verse 5 where it says I trust in the
Lord with all your heart lead not on your own
understanding and all your ways acknowledge him
and he will direct your path. Now when I read
that scripture it reminds me of so much the help
that I received I should say so much from the
Holy Spirit because the biggest challenge that
I've had in my life is that my understanding
gets in the way of God's will or my understanding
gets in the way of what the Holy Spirit wants
me to do and so that scripture really helps me
when I'm in the midst of trying to make a decision
on something. And I say, Father, and I pray the
scripture, not just read the scripture, but I
pray the scripture. I say, Father, I thank you
that you want me to come to you and that I should
trust you with all of my heart. Thank you for
that. And Lord, I thank you that I'm told not
to lean on my own understanding. And I pray now.
that I will not lean on my own understanding,
and that in all my ways I'll acknowledge you.
And I thank you, Lord, that the scripture tells
me that you will then lead my direction, my path,
my way. You'll guide me, Father. You see, when
we apply that scripture to our lives through
prayer, then we really connect with the scripture.
It becomes very personal to us. I love to claim
the promises of God for the lives of some people,
individually, specifically for people, and pray
with them and tell them how to pray the scriptures,
not just say the scriptures, but to pray the
scriptures. Now, that may not help you, but I
believe it will if you truly trust it and realize
that praying the scriptures is a way to get them
deeper into your heart and to enable each and
every one of us to allow ourselves to be led
by the Spirit of the Living God. Now, when we
yield to the Holy Spirit, all of the abilities
of the Holy Spirit are available to us. Now,
think about that for a second. Let's just take
a second to think about that. When we yield,
that means surrender, submit to Him. When we
yield to the Holy Spirit, all of His abilities,
all of His power, all of His authority of the
Holy Spirit are available to us. That's just
amazing. If that doesn't rock your boat, I don't
know what will. It's so important that we understand
that that power of the Holy Spirit that dwells
inside of us, that He gives us abilities and
enables us and gives us the power and the strength
that we need to deal with whatever we face in
life and we can learn to be led by the Holy Spirit
if we understand that. The Holy Spirit has God's
wisdom. Some people say, well, the Holy Spirit
isn't God. Well, no, He is God. It's God the
Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
It's the Trinity. We believe in that. If you
don't, Then you might say, well, I don't believe
in that because I don't believe in three gods.
Well, I don't believe in three gods either. I
serve one God. But there's three persons of the
Holy Spirit. Jesus, the Son of God, and God,
the Father. And that's the Trinity. And that's
the Triune Godhead, the powerful Triune Godhead.
And each one has purposes throughout the scriptures
that change the lives, change directions of kings,
change directions of leaders, of pastors, of
non -believers to become believers, of people
like The Apostle Paul hated Christians, wanted
to kill Christians, and when the power of the
Holy Spirit came upon him on the road to Damascus,
his life was radically changed and just made
him completely a different person, a 180 degree
change in his life. The Holy Spirit has God's
wisdom, so therefore we can have God's wisdom.
He understands spiritual truth and evil spirits,
so therefore we... can understand spiritual truth
and see and identify evil spirits. He counsels
us, so therefore we can counsel others. He gives
us strength, so therefore we can help others
to receive strength. He has all knowledge. He
has God's love. So therefore we can have God's
love. We can have God's knowledge. These are
things the Holy Spirit has for us. He wants to
lead us into them, through them, and direct us.
So I pray now that all of us will surrender to
the Holy Spirit. Jesus relied on the Holy Spirit.
So must we. When Jesus went into the temptation,
into the desert, into the temptation, The devil
came after him, but he relied on the Holy Spirit
to give him strength. The Holy Spirit gave him
the scriptures to speak. The Holy Spirit told
him how to address the evil one, the devil who
was harassing Jesus. And so therefore, Jesus
relied on the Holy Spirit, so we believers must
obviously also rely on. the Spirit of the Living
God. Jesus needed the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
So do we. Jesus needed the anointing of the Holy
Spirit to even start his ministry. So do we.
We must live in the Spirit daily, not occasionally.
In order to be led by the Spirit of God, it's
a 24 -7. That's 24 hours a day, seven days a
week. We need to be led by the Holy Spirit. Now
that doesn't mean we won't make mistakes. It
doesn't mean that we might go off in the wrong
direction somewhere, but the Holy Spirit in us
will direct us. See, I've talked so much about
how the Holy Spirit blesses us and helps us and
He's there and He comforts us and all that, and
He really does. But He also admonishes us. He
also corrects us. He also becomes stern with
us. I believe when When we do something stupid
and we say something to someone that's not correct,
the Holy Spirit quickens us and tells us, now
that wasn't right. You should not have said that.
You need to go back and apologize for that. I
remember playing golf with a Christian guy once.
We were playing golf and having just a great
time and just really just having a great time
and my buddy was getting ready to hit the ball
and just before he went to hit the ball, one
of the golf, they called them golf rangers, he
was in a golf cart and he drove around just to
be sure that things were going smooth and going
well. So he didn't pay any attention that my
buddy was getting ready to hit the ball off the
tee. And as my buddy drew the club back, this
guy drove up and said, hey, how you guys doing?
And it caused my friend to shank the ball. So
my friend got really mad, and he ran over to
this guy and said, how can you do that? How can
you do that? You should know better than that.
You work for the golf course. And he just ripped
into the guy. And the guy said, I'm sorry. I'm
sorry. I didn't mean anything. He just wants
you to have a good time. So my buddy was really
upset. So the guy apologized, and he drove away.
Well, we got in the cart, and my friend and I
were driving down. the cart and all of a sudden
he stopped and he said, I should have never done
that. That was wrong. You see, that was the Holy
Spirit helping him. And he said, just a second.
Could you wait right here? I need to do something.
So I got out of the cart. We were up by the green.
I got out of the cart. And he took off in the
cart. And I thought, where in the world is he
going? Well, he spotted the guy, the golf ranger,
if you will, driving around. And he drove over
to the guy, got out. And he spoke to them and
talked to him for a little while. And he came
back. And he said, I just had to apologize to
him. I see. I thought that was so, I was so impressed
by that. I thought, Lord, this fellow, this friend
of mine is a great man. Yeah, he could have easily
just carried that with him the rest of the day.
But the Holy Spirit said, no, you can't do that.
And so the Holy Spirit interrupted him, his golf
game, and sent him off to apologize to someone
after he yelled and screamed at the guy. So anyways,
that's a story that some of you might think kind
of silly, but it's not silly at all. I wish all
of us would be led by the Holy Spirit to know
when we need to call someone and apologize, or
just do something nice for someone else. We should
pray that the Holy Spirit helps us to have that
type of sensitivity to Him. The Holy Spirit helps
us to surrender to God's will and to help us
have the desires of God's desires in our life.
Galatians 5 -16 says, live in the Spirit. Well,
we can do that. So I'm going to pray now. I'm
going to close this podcast in prayer and just
pray for you that the Holy Spirit would help
and direct whatever you're going through in life.
Heavenly Father, I thank you for this lesson.
I thank you Lord that you want us to be led by
the Spirit. I thank you for the scriptures you
gave us and I pray now Lord that those who are
listening in, if they truly truly want a stronger
relationship with the Holy Spirit, want to be
led by him every day, that you would help them,
that you would direct them, that they would pray
and seek you and use your word, Father, to help
them through life. I thank you for this opportunity.
I thank you for this teaching, Lord. It may be
pretty basic to some people, but to some of us,
we need to hear this type of word, Lord, to keep
us on track, to be led by the Spirit of the living
God. And I'll thank you for it now. In Jesus'
name I pray. Amen. Well, I hope this has been
interesting to you. I have thoroughly enjoyed
this podcast. And I hope that you will continue
to listen to these podcasts. The next one we're
going to do is called The Holy Spirit in Us.
And it's going to be another way to look at how
the Holy Spirit operates in our life. And so
I hope that you'll tune into that one and listen
to it. If you would like to know more about the

next podcast is going to be called Holy Spirit
in Us and there's some things that I really feel
we couldn't get into this podcast that it needs
to kind of carry over into the next one. We're
going to talk about what does the Holy Spirit
bring to us and the Holy Spirit in us is that
it's really Jesus in us. The Holy Spirit may
interrupt what we plan to say and that's only
if he's in us and lives and dwells in us and
directs our life and that the Holy Spirit can
adjust our thoughts, our words, our actions.
Think about that for a second. So I'm looking
forward to that podcast and I hope that you'll
be a part of that. So let me just close by giving
you a blessing and praying for you. I pray now
that the Lord will bless you and keep you and
that his face will shine upon you and that he
will be gracious to you and give you peace. I
pray that you'll prosper and that you'll be in
good health even as your soul prospers. So until
next time, may God richly bless you. May you
be filled with the power and the strength of
the Holy Spirit. May you be led of the Holy Spirit,
may the Holy Spirit help each and every one of
us to be closer to Him than we have ever been
in our entire lives. Thank you, Father, for putting
this together, that we've had an opportunity
to share what you placed upon my heart, that
you would bless it and multiply it. And I'll
be careful to give you praise and glory for what's
taken place today. For ask these things in Jesus'
name. Well, thank you again for listening to
Quality Christian Living. I am your host, David
Friend. I pray that you'll come back and listen
to our continuation of the topics dealing with
the Holy Spirit in us.
