Tag: Bible verses about letting the Holy Spirit guide us

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-1-20

Exodus 19:8 (NKJV) 8 Then all the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do.” So Moses brought back the words of the people to the Lord.

We cannot trust in ourself to obey God or to be able to do what He asks us to do by our own strength and wisdom. We need to learn to depend on our Helper…the Holy Spirit.

In the verse above, the people of Israel promised to do what God had asked them to do.

Not long after that, when Moses took longer than they expected to come down from Mt. Sinai, they immediately abandoned their promise to God and did what they thought would be best, only to bring corruption on themselves.

Exodus 32:7-8 (NKJV) 7 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go, get down! For your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves. 8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and worshiped it and sacrificed to it, and said, ‘This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!’ ”

How quickly they turned from what God had commanded them. That is human flesh at its best.

We cannot do what God asks us to do on our own. We need to let Him lead us by His Holy Spirit.

How many believers today struggle with trying to obey God’s word on their own?

This brings so many failures, and is very discouraging at times. It can cause us to want to give up completely when it comes to trying to follow and obey Him.

God gave us His Holy Spirit. Let Him be the Helper He was meant to be.

He will guide us through our daily walk, giving wisdom, discernment and the strength to actually do what is required.

We are not strong enough on our own to fight our fleshly desires and push back the thoughts in our minds. But with the Holy Spirit, we can get it done.

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

We need our Helper.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-25-19

Colossians 3:13 (NKJV) 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.

Bearing and forgiving are two very hard and challenging things for all believers to work on.

We cannot do this on our own. We need our Helper. If we think we are going to be able to do these kinds of things without the Holy Spirit, we are wrong and very deceived.

We need all that God has for us. His strength. His Wisdom. His understanding and perseverance. It takes more than what we have.

God knew this. And the Holy Spirit was made available to us for our daily walk and the challenges that we face.  We must not only give Him a place in us, but we need to let Him move freely.

John 16:7 (NKJV) 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.

Some people may have never heard that they have a Helper, the Holy Spirit. Jesus said He would send Him to us. It’s like someone handing us a wonderful assistant to help us get a job done. But if we don’t let the assistant do their part, we will be stuck in the same dilemma over and over again.

If we are struggling with trying to forgive others or bearing with them, it’s not uncommon. Many Believers do.

Even when we try to be patient and stand with them in their difficult time, we can’t always understand or get past why they do what they do. And because of it they end up in the same predicaments over and over.

If we have a hard time getting past their faults, we are most likely not giving the Holy Spirit room to move, to teach, or to touch those areas in us that need healing, understanding and wisdom.

He has a way of helping us to understand and bring light to any given situation so we can forgive or stand with others, with the right heart.

Holy Spirit, come and teach us, that we may be able to do the things that are beyond our power, thoughts and understanding. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-12-19

1 Corinthians 2:12 (NKJV) 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

There may be many things that we can’t understand about God with our natural minds. This is perfectly normal, since we are carnal and God is spiritual.

As believers, God wants to change that. He wants us to learn to see beyond what our natural eyes can see and understand beyond what our natural minds can comprehend.

Now, that may sound a bit strange to some. After all, we live in a natural world, inside of a natural body of flesh and bone, with a brain made of natural, tangible matter. How can we possibly expect to understand beyond our natural abilities?

Easy. We need to let God teach us to look beyond the natural, into the world behind the scenes; the spiritual world.

God has given us the Holy Spirit, whom He sent to be our Helper.

The Holy Spirit helps us to see and understand the things that our natural mind can’t even begin to fathom. With the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit, we can learn to live by the Spirit 24/7.

And as we grow and mature in living by the Spirit, we will begin to instinctively see past the things right in front of us and see what’s happening behind them.

God has ordained it to be so. It’s part of walking with Him!

Romans 8:14 (NKJV) 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

It may seem strange and foreign to us at first. But, over time, and with effort on our part, we can learn to live by the Spirit, see past the flesh, and get understanding that’s only available to sons and daughters of God.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-4-18

Matthew 16:15-16 (NKJV) 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

He was the Christ, the Son of the living God! He lived among man and He was perfect. He was pure. He was righteous and miraculous in His life here!

The work that was done through Jesus Christ was done solely by the power of the Holy Spirit.

John 1:32 (NKJV) 32 And John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him.

The Holy Spirit remained upon Jesus throughout His work here on this earth.

It is impossible for any man or woman to minister, in the way God has intended for us, without the anointing of the Holy Spirit. And it is impossible to live the life God has intended for us individually without the Holy Spirit moving through us.

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

We need our Helper. We need to be taught, prompted and reminded constantly throughout our day of the things we need to hear, do and say.

Some of us have been trying so hard to get things right. Our hearts are willing, but we keep failing because we lack what it will take to get it done. It takes the Holy Spirit.

Today, ask Him to come and help us in our decisions, in our trials, in our raising and training up of our children, in our ministry and in our everyday walk.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-28-18

Psalm 31:3 (NKJV) 3 For You are my rock and my fortress; Therefore, for Your name’s sake, Lead me and guide me.

Becoming a Christian happens when we truly believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah, and that He came to save us from our sins.

His death on the cross was for one purpose; to save us from our sinful nature. He made it possible for us to have a relationship with God, His Father, and live eternal life in Heaven. Praise be to God!!

Walking daily with Jesus is different than life was without Him. After we become a Christian, we have to decide to allow our relationship with Him to grow deeper. This happens when we open ourselves up to the Holy Spirit, our Helper, and allow Him to come and help guide us each day. He guides us in our prayers and He helps us keep our eyes open and be discerning. This keeps us alert.

Mark 14:38 (NKJV) 38 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

You know how much more we can see when we yield to the Holy Spirit? He has a way of clearing our vision when we yield our eyes and ears to Him. Things get done when we walk by the Spirit, versus walking by the flesh. The verse above says that our flesh is weak. And this is very true.

The flesh is full of itself, and it has no room for anything or anyone else. It’s selfish. It will make decisions based on what it wants, putting itself first and above everything else.

The Spirit is out to help us in any way He can. His agenda is to fix things and make them right. With Him we are quick to discern right from wrong.

Sometimes we don’t have a lot of time to make a decision. It needs to be made quickly, accurately and in that moment. The Holy Spirit will guide us in making the right move.

Our walk is so much more complete when we give Him room to help.

John 14:16 (NKJV) 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-21-17

Matthew 11:29 (NKJV) 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Sometimes our minds are our worst enemy. We think about things that might happen and then our thoughts run away from us. And this causes us to worry about things that we have no control over.

Sometimes we can get caught up in our emotions. It’s easy to do. Unfortunately, that’s the worst thing we can do.

God created us to have emotions! It’s part of His design. But He doesn’t want us to let our emotions control us. And He doesn’t want us to live based on our emotions. If we do live that way, our lives will be like a rollercoaster, up one day and down the next, based on how we feel.

God wants us to learn to rely 100% on Him for everything we need each and every day. It takes time for us to learn this. It’s a lifelong learning process!

Matthew 4:4 (NKJV) 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”

That’s why it’s critical that we spend time in His word. Because as it gets into us, we learn to rely on it and pull it up from within our spirit when we need it.

The Holy Spirit is faithful to remind us of the things we have studied and learned from His word, so it’s important that we know the Word and let it become a part of who we are.

Take one day at a time. Spend time in His word. Let it become a part of who we are. And as we grow and learn to depend on Him, our emotions will no longer control our lives.
