In order to e led ! the *pirit, !ou 1ust 0irst o0 all know that -od is a *pirit. 43ohn #52#.6 $here0ore, He 1ust lead !ou !

He li%ed in a od! that had ones and lood :ust like !ours and 1ine do. 8ut unlike !ou and 1e, He chose to e led ! the *pirit o0 -od in e%er! decision.

He wants to rin/ !ou /reat lessin/s, ut !ou 1ust listen to Hi1. $hat is wh! He wants !ou to do what He tells !ou.
Ser0e the Law of 8od

.ow there are so1e thin/s that !ou don2t ha%e to e led ! the *pirit in ecause the 8i le plainl! states that !ou should :ust /o ahead and do the1. $ake pra!in/ 0or instance. You don2t ha%e to e led ! the *pirit o0 -od to pra!. -od has alread! told !ou in the 8i le to do that, so all !ou ha%e to do is /o ahead and do it. When it co1es to 9
rin/in/ sinners to church with !ou, !ou don2t ha%e to e led ! the *pirit o0 -od ecause He has alread! told !ou to do that. 9n0ortunatel! 1an! 'hristians don2t pra! %er! 1uch nor do the! rin/ sinners to church. $hat is ecause the! would rather 0ollow their 0lesh than 0ollow their spirit. In Ro1ans 752#, the 8i le sa!s, O wretched man that am; who shall deli0er me from the body of this death< I can tell !ou Who will deli%er !ou ecause there is onl! one )eli%erer, and that is 3esus 'hrist our Lord. $here aren2t three or 0our )eli%erers. $here is onl! one. 7nd that is e>actl! what %erse 2& sa!s, thank 8od throu-h =esus ,hrist our Lord.
