Do You Have the Leading of the Holy Spirit? #Questionable Things

When things are not spelled out clearly in the Bible, we can expect the Holy Spirit to lead us.

"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."—Romans 8:14.

Someone suggested that the stops as well as the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. The Holy Spirit leads us in prayer. Most believers who have been saved any length of time have experienced times when the Holy Spirit gave definite leading regarding a matter. 

When I talk about the leading of the Holy Spirit, I'm not talking about hearing an audible voice or having strange visions. God works in us the desire and then gives us the power to make the desire a reality.

In any matter where we have questions, we have a right to ask the Holy Spirit to lead us and to expect His gentle guiding.

Have You Prayed About it? #Questionable Things

The Bible indicates that we are to pray about all things. Philippians 4:6 says,

"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."

One of the saddest verses in the Bible to me is James 4:2: "Ye have not, because ye ask not." It doesn't say what we don't have; it just simply says we have not because we ask not. That would certainly include the leading of the Lord regarding a questionable matter.

When praying for the Lord's will about something questionable, don't give up if you don't receive clear leading after one prayer; just keep on praying until God makes it clear. When God answers, He will not answer in an audible voice; He will lead you by the Holy Spirit.
