Many think they are ‘led of the Holy Spirit’. Many think they ‘walk in the Holy Spirit’.
But, are they 'led of the Holy Spirit'?
Can a Christian be ‘led of the Spirit’ sometimes, and ‘led of the flesh or devil’ at other times?
A. Your Choices
Have you chosen to use a birth control that murders babies? All birth control pills and IUDs murder babies.
If you have, has the Holy Spirit led you to this sin?
1 John 3:15
B. Your weight
Are you overweight?
Is gluttony sin?
Deut. 21:20;
Proverbs 23:21;
Mat. 11:19;
Luke 7:34
Did the Holy Spirit lead you to over eat?
C. Your Postings
Which posts did the devil lead you to write?
Which posts did a demon lead you to write?
Which posts did your flesh lead you to write?
Did the Holy Spirit lead you to write any of your posts?
D. Your Church
If I went to your Apostolic church for four Sunday morning meetings, could I write an order of the meetings? First the church does this, then this, then this, the sermon follows this, and then the church closes with this.
What does
1 Corinthians 14:26 say? It says every church member could have a part. The Holy Spirit should be allowed to give you a part in your next church meeting. But, the reality is for most to have a part they must first get someone’s permission – to preach, to teach, to sing, to pray, etc. If the member is given by the Holy Spirit something to preach during the meeting, forget it! The Holy Spirit is not in control, man is! The meeting is not Holy Spirit led; it is man led – tradition led.
In Azusa Street Mission, the Holy Spirit led the meetings. Brother William Seymour may never have started a meeting. He let the Holy Spirit start the meetings. Someone being led of the Holy Spirit would start to sing or pray or speak in tongues then someone would interpret, so the meeting has started, what happens next? No one knows but the Holy Spirit! Have you been in meetings like those? They are very, very exciting! NOT boring! They are very anointed; everyone receives ministry. These meetings are not a one man show!

Don’t you desire to be in a ‘Holy Spirit led meeting’?
