ENJOYING EVERYDAY LIFE

THE BEST

LEADER

FOR YOUR LIFE

BY JOYCE MEYER

What does it mean to be led by the Holy Spirit? Some may refer to it as being filled with – or sensitive to or anointed by – the Spirit. It
sounds really spiritual, but being led by the Spirit is actually a very practical part of living the Christian life. Simply put, to be led by the
Holy Spirit just means to be obedient to Him.

The Holy Spirit does such awesome, yet practical work in the lives of God’s children. He is our Comforter, Counsellor, Helper, Intercessor, Advo-
cate, Strengthener and Standby. He teaches us and guides us into truth…and He even brings the things we learn back to our remembrance as we
need it.

And the best part of it all is that He lives in each of us. Ephesians 3:16 (AMPC) tells us that He enables us to be “…strengthened and reinforced with
mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality].”

He comes to live in our hearts when we’re born again, and then He teaches and guides us according to God’s plan and purpose for us. One of the
ways He does this is by convicting us of the sins in our life, and we learn what’s right and wrong as we grow in our faith. We may get by with things
that are not right for a while, but the time comes when we need to grow up. I remember when I would go to church every Sunday and then gossip
about the pastor or whatever I didn’t like about the service.
