Our emotions and beliefs can affect how we hear God’s voice and hinder us from receiving his best for our lives.

To learn to be led by the Holy Spirit we need to learn to be able to discern and listen to our own spirit.

The Bible is clear about how the Spirit will lead us and there are many examples in the New Testament of how the leading of the Holy Spirit applies in the New Covenant.

The very least we can do is NOT work against God by speaking words of doubt and fear!

There are things we can do to cooperate with the will of God in our lives and there are things we can do that hinder His will.

Christians often miss the leading of the Holy Spirit when they miss-understand how God leads us. There’s an order of importance, a hierarchy in being led by the Holy Spirit.

Let’s admit it, sometimes Christians make the worst decisions and God gets the blame!

On the cross, Jesus identified with us, taking the consequences of our sin. ‘Identification’ is a spiritual principle.

Most of us are constantly measuring our worth and value by our actions. This means that we are still under a ‘works’ mentality- we have a sin consciousness.

Recently, I was in a Christian bookshop flicking through chapter headings of a book. A particular chapter caught my eye, it was titled ‘Is Christianity A Superior Morality?’.

Your faith is what you believe, those things of which you have a firm conviction. But your faith will do you no good until it is released.

If you don’t know what faith is, you can’t identify if you have it.

The promises of God are not automatically fulfilled in our lives, in this life at least.
