Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Be led by the Spirit

Acts 16:6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia

Beloved, the sons of GOD are those who are led by the Spirit. The Lord GOD sent the Holy Spirit to be an helper and a teacher. Therefore you are to be obedient to every promptings of the Spirit.

An example is in the scripture above, Brother. Paul was prevented from preaching the word in Asia but the question is 'Is preaching the Gospel not a right thing to do as Christ Jesus as commanded us' yet the Spirit forbade Paul to preach the Word in Asia. Beloved, the prompting of the Spirit are not convenient and not what we normally desire.

The ways of the Lord are higher than our ways, His thoughts higher than our thoughts. He know all things, therefore whenever you are prompted to do anything by the Spirit of GOD, immediately obey without any delay. Afterwards, Brother Paul was spoken to in a night vision to do an assignment in Macedonia and through his obedience, a woman was saved, a damsel was delivered from the spirit of divination and the keeper of the prison where he was imprisoned along with Silas was saved, not only that but the whole family of the keeper of the prison believed the Gospel. (Read Act 16)

For all these purposes, the Holy Spirit forbade Paul from preaching the Word in Macedonia. This know of a surety that the promptings and leading of the Spirit of GOD is not never convenient nor pleasing to the flesh even beyond logical reasoning, yet you must submit and yield that the perfect counsel of GOD might be fulfilled.

Paul's obedience led to the salvation of a whole family who might not have received the Gospel if he had disobeyed. Beloved, the Lord's Word to you is that you obey the prompting of His Spirit. If the Lord GOD says preach, do preach. If He says, keep quiet, keep quiet! if He says speak, speak! If He says stay, stay! If He says go, go!

Many times, yea countless times the Spirit of GOD will prompt you to do things which are inconvenient, all you have to do is yield and do all He ask. Do you not know that it is He who works us both to will and do His good pleasure? All He desires is that you are a pure and yielded vessel and surely He will express Himself through you. Take no thought about how you will do it, just take that step in obedience.

Romans 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Beloved, don't give place to the flesh, flesh will say don't pray when the Spirit is saying pray, flesh will say rest and sleep a little but your Spirit is saying get up and pray and read the Word of GOD. The Spirit of GOD was sent to the earth to teach you the way to go, He is the very one that will see you through till when Christ Jesus shall return.

To please GOD, you must be led by the Spirit, obeying all His prompting and leading and forsake the voice of the flesh which seek self-pleasure and convenience.

Finally, repent of fleshly lust and any sin whatsoever and daily and consistently be led by the Spirit of GOD and by doing this, you will please your Maker and reign with Him in eternity - Heaven.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Shalom.

How do we hear the voice of the Spirit?

How do we hear the voice of the Spirit?

Through constant and consistent fellowship with Him by studying, meditating and obedience to the Word and through daily communion with Him (prayer).

The same way you recognize your parent, friends' or relatives' voice whenever they speak due to the fact that you have been in daily communication with them is the same way you come to recognize the voice of the Spirit of GOD and discern correctly. It is an intentional effort which comes with consistency. The Lord GOD bless you. Thank you Sir.
