Acts 16:6 (NKJV) 6 Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia.
Paying attention to the promptings of the Holy Spirit is so very important, and even more so in the days we live in.
We could be walking into a dangerous situation at times, but with His guidance we will be able to withstand the wiles of the devil.
We can avoid a lot of problems if we remain sensitive and eager to follow His leading.
Ephesians 6:11 (NKJV) 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
There will be times when we may never know the reason for the things He keeps us from doing. We just need to know that by following Him we did the right thing, and it could have saved our life.
He tries to show us the importance of staying alert.
Acts 16:8-9 (NKJV) 8 So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
Here we can see the Holy Spirit led them by a vision or a dream.
His word and prayer are the two primary ways that God leads us. He may also use a dream or a vision.
Are we open to such things today or have we completely disregarded them, thinking they were only for the apostles?
That is wrong for us to think. He is still the same God He was then. And the Holy Spirit is still the same Holy Spirit, speaking the same way He has always spoken.
God will lead all of us through the Holy Spirit if we are open to Him and let Him lead as He sees fit.
Psalm 32:8 (NKJV) 8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.
