John 10:27 (NKJV) The sheep that are My own hear My voice and listen to Me; I know them, and they follow Me.
Romans 8:14-16 (NKJV) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
God would like to speak to you, lead you, and guide you. Today, God primarily speaks to us through the Bible and the leading of the Holy Spirit.
We are three-part beings with a spirit, a soul, and a body. It is the spirit being that is sensitive to God. Scripture reveals that God leads us through the spirit man and bears witness with our spirit. He does not lead us in our soul, where our mind and intellect are located, because spiritual things—including seeking confirmation from the Holy Spirit—are discerned by the spirit. We will have an inner witness of peace to proceed if the Holy Spirit agrees. We need to train ourselves to yield to and be led by the Holy Spirit.
This is when we simply know something on the inside—an inward knowing. It doesn’t come through our physical senses but from the Holy Spirit speaking directly to our spirit. It is a quiet conviction that guides us in a situation or specific area of life. Sometimes it comes as an inner urge or prompting. At other times, it is an uncomfortable check—not in our emotions or body, but deep within—warning us not to move forward. It’s the “red light” or “yellow light”.
It can also come as a deep, settled peace that encourages us to act or move in a certain direction—a “green light”. This is not about hearing words or voices, but about perceiving something within: an inner intuition, an inner assurance that says, “This is it”. That is the inward witness.
We, New Testament believers, have the Holy Spirit residing within us to help, counsel, and guide us around the clock as long as we remain receptive to His help and guidance. We will become familiar with His voice if we do not grieve the Holy Spirit when He prompts us to forgive someone or warns us not to yield to temptation. The same voice will guide us in making the right decision, alongside a personal Word from God, before we undertake any major decision.
Proverbs 16:3,9 (NJKV) Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established…. A man’s heart plans his way but the Lord directs his steps.
Be humble even when you have heard from the Lord. Present the decision you need to make to God, and do not have any preconceived ideas or answers. Lay down your rights to God. Commit the plan and strategy to Him, and ask Him if it is His will for your life. Seek godly counsel by sharing with them what you perceive to have heard from God.
Reflection: How can you grow in your ability to hear and recognise the Holy Spirit’s guidance in your life?
Sermon Series： Walking With God
被圣灵引导
约翰福音 10:27 我的羊听我的声音，我也认识他们，他们也跟着我。
罗马书 8:14–16因为凡被 神的灵引导的，都是 神的儿子。你们所受的，不是奴仆的心，仍旧害怕；所受的乃是儿子的心，因此我们呼叫：“阿爸！父！”圣灵与我们的心同证我们是 神的儿女。
神渴望向你说话，引导你，并带领你的生命。今天，神主要是借着圣经和圣灵的引导来对我们说话。
我们是由灵、魂、体三部分组成的人。其中，对神最敏感的是我们的灵。圣经启示我们，神是借着我们的“灵人”来引导我们，并且与我们的灵同作见证。祂不是通过我们的魂（即我们的思想和理性）来带领我们，因为属灵的事——包括从圣灵那里寻求印证——必须用灵来分辨。若圣灵认同我们的方向，我们里面会有一种平安的见证，使我们可以继续前行。因此，我们需要操练自己学习顺服圣灵，并被圣灵引导。
这种引导往往是一种里面的知道—一种内在的确信。它不是通过我们的感官，而是圣灵直接在我们的灵里说话。这是一种安静却坚定的感动，在某个处境或人生的某个领域中引导我们。有时它表现为一种内在的催促或提醒；有时则是一种深处的不安——不是情绪上的，也不是身体上的，而是在灵里的警示，提醒我们不要继续往前。这就像是一个“红灯”或“黄灯”。
有时，这种引导也会表现为一种深沉而稳固的平安，鼓励我们采取行动或朝某个方向前进，就像“绿灯”。这并不是听见声音或话语，而是一种内在的感知：一种属灵的直觉、一种深处的确定感，在心里说：“就是这个。”这就是内在的见证。
作为新约的信徒，圣灵住在我们里面，全天候帮助我们、安慰我们，并引导我们，只要我们愿意敞开心领受祂的帮助与带领。当圣灵感动我们去饶恕别人，或提醒我们不要陷入试探时，如果我们不叫圣灵担忧，我们就会越来越熟悉祂的声音。这个同样的声音，也会在我们作重大决定之前，配合神个人赐给我们的经文，引导我们作出正确的选择。
箴言 16:3,9 你所做的，要交托耶和华，你所谋的，就必成立……人心筹算自己的道路，惟耶和华指引他的脚步。
即使你觉得自己已经听见了主的声音，也要保持谦卑。把你需要作出的决定带到神面前，不要预设答案，也不要先有既定的想法。将自己的权利交托给神，把你的计划和策略交在祂手中，并寻求祂是否愿意在你的生命中成就这件事。同时，也要寻求属灵同伴的劝勉，与他们分享你所领受的感动，一同分辨神的心意。
默想：
在你的生命中，可以通过哪些方式帮助自己更敏锐地听见并辨认圣灵的引导？
