LESSON 5

What does a person mean when he says the Holy Spirit is “leading” them?

The Miraculous Leading of the Holy Spirit Jesus was “led” by the Spirit (Mat. 4:1 Lk 4:1) Paul was “led” by the Spirit (Acts 16:6-7) Peter was “led” by the Spirit (Acts 10:19-20) Philip was “led” by the Spirit (Acts 8:26, 39)

God has always “Led”! The Father “Led” –Noah (Heb. 11:7, Gen. 6:13-15; 7:5) –Abraham (Heb. 11:8-9, Gen. 12:1-4) –Israel (Deut. 8:14-15; 29:4) The Son “Led” (Jn. 1:43; 6:44-45) The Spirit leads (Rom. 8:14)

There is NO “Mystical” leading by the Holy Spirit The dramatic (experience) has never saved! (Acts 11:14) Obedience to the word, is what saved. (Isa. 1:18, 2 Thess. 2:14, Rom 1:16)

Jacob Creath—”I never saw the day when I did not desire to be good and please God, my Maker. I often withdrew to retired places, and prayed to him that I might see a great light shinning around me, like Saul of Tarsus; or hear a voice informing me that my sins were pardoned. Under these circumstances nature sometimes gave way and I went to sleep on my knees, overwhelmed with the dreadful consideration that I was forever lost.” Search For the Ancient, Vol. 1, p. 118

How the Holy Spirit leads to Salvation Leads to Salvation only through what He has revealed through Scripture. Romans 10:13ff

Salvation was accomplished as… 3,000 “gladly received his word” (Acts 2:41,47) Many “heard the word” (Acts 4:4) Samaritans “believed…he preached” (8:12-13) Eunuch heard Jesus “preached” (8:35-38) Saul was “told what to do” (9:6) Cornelius would hear “words”

Salvation was accomplished as… Cornelius would hear “words” (Acts 11:14) Lydia “heard…things spoken” (16:14) The Jailor heard Paul “speak the Word” vs 32 The Corinthians “hearing believed” (18:8) The Bereans “received the word” (17:11-12) The Eph. 12 “heard” (19:5)

Direct Operation is illogical Why ask a question in Acts 2:38? Why the importance of the gospel? Why are there lost in the World? (2 Pet. 3:9)

The Holy Spirit leads Christian in 3 ways Via miraculous means during the infancy of the church. Via the Scriptures—to avoid error (1 Tim 4:1- 2), to obtain all spiritual blessings (2 Pet. 1:3), to spiritual security (1 John 5:13) Via Providential means

The “Leading” of the Holy Spirit God has always “led” by imparting “Truth.” When man listens and obeys, he is “led.” The miraculous leading does not exist today. The instructional ministry is critical to the Spirit’s leading. (Heb. 3:7; 10:15) Thus the Holy Spirit uses the Scriptures to “lead” mankind today!
