TEST # 1 Yielding to the Spirit PROMPTINGS

John 16:13 CSB

13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth. For he will not speak on his own, but he will speak whatever he hears. He will also declare to you what is to come.

Note: This can be done in a couple of ways

A. The Holy Spirit Reminds you of Scripture or a Spiritual TRUTH you’ve learned before

Example: You need to forgive someone / Apologize to someone / Feeling Convicted about something or someone [ The Holy Spirit REMINDS you of it ]

B. The Holy Spirit can Prompt you to do something that’s not necessarily some verse but it’s just a prompting of the Spirit is wanting you to do.

Acts 8:29 CSB

29 The Spirit told Philip, “Go and join that chariot.”

Acts 11:12 CSB

12 The Spirit told me to accompany them with no doubts at all. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we went into the man’s house.

Acts 16:6–7 CSB

6 They went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia; they had been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia. 7 When they came to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.

Note: At times The Holy Spirit will prohibit you from doing something

Note: At other times The Holy Spirit lead you to do something

Footnote: The more INTIMATE CONNECTION with God the more you’re be able to DISCERN how the Holy Spirit is speaking to you, leading you, guiding you along the way.

Ephesians 5:18–20 CSB

Footnote: Worshiping - Thankfulness - Gratefulness - Lifting Hands - etc...........

Praying in The Spirit

Jude 20 CSB

20 But you, dear friends, as you build yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

Note: When your prayers are being led & guided by the Holy Spirit ( And Scripture )

Note: This is NOT PRAYING IN TONGUES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Note: God will never require or command you to do something that is a gift if tongues is a gift that some believers have, then how can He command you to do something if every believer is not going to do it or have that gift ( 1st Cor. )

Example: Whistling with your fingers in your mouth some people can do it and some can’t because it’s not a gift

Galatians 5:16 CSB

16 I say, then, walk by the Spirit and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh.
