  8. Luke 24:49 “And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.”

Disciples/Apostles Led by the Spirit • Acts 8:29 – Philip goes to Ethiopian Eunich • Acts 9:11 – Ananias goes to Saul/Paul • Acts 10:19 – Peter receives vision and then told to go to Cornelius’ household • Acts 13:2 – Barnabas and Paul called to missions journey • Acts 15:28 – direction for settling doctrinal issues

  12. III. Subjective becomes Objective • Leading of the Holy Spirit – subjective? • Three Questions • Who are you delighting in? • What is the desire of your heart? • What gives you peace?

  13. Jeremiah 17:9 - 10 9 “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? 10 But I, the LORD, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.”

  14. Psalms 37:4 Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart’s desires. • Isaiah 55:12 "For you will go out with joy, And be led forth with peace; The mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you, And all the trees of the field will clap their hands."

  17. What if I make a mistake? • What’s your motive? • God is big enough to steer you back on track if your motives are right • You may only have perceived it a mistake

  18. Interactive Time • Has there ever been a time when you felt you were being “carried” through a temptation or a difficult time? How does 1 Corinthians 10:13 relate to this? How does the poem “Footprints” relate to this? • Share a time when the Holy Spirit spoke to you or prompted you to do something. How did you know it was the Holy Spirit? What was the outcome? (stir and be stirred by this interaction)

  19. Do you believe you are following the Holy Spirit’s leading for your life at this time? How do you know?

  20. Guidance Available • Along our highways, well placed at appropriate locations, are official signs which give us direction and warn us of danger. Most of these are the reflector type; that is, they are designed to reflect the light of auto headlamps. In darkness, they are invisible to anyone who travels without a light. But when our auto headlights are flashed upon these signs, they reflect back to us their message of guidance or caution. Their night-time aid to us depends upon the light we bring to them. They have no meaning for unlighted lamps. • God would like to guide us through the days and through the years of this life. His signs are out there—in all the appropriate places. But whether we see them will depend upon the light with which we approach them.
