Do you ever forget things. Have you ever thought you knew something but it turned it that you thought wrong? It's true that the human mind is beautiful and brilliant, but its even more true that the human mind is limited. Yet, naturally we want to depend on our minds alone total us to the next level in life. Our minds are too limited to lead us! God, our Father is always willing to lead and has given us the gift of His Spirit, who is limitless to take us places our minds could never travel.

"Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left." (Isaiah 30:21).

The Holy Spirit is purposed to guide you, comfort you and give you the confidence you need to accomplish your destiny assignments in life and become everything God created you to become. The Holy Spirit is also evidence. True proof that you're a child of God is that you are never stranded, idle or confused about what to do next. A true child of God is led by the Spirit (Romans 8:14). 

One of the ways the Holy Spirit guides us is by "checking" us. A restriction or check in your spirit man is one of the ways The Holy Spirit leads you. You may be about to make a major decision or engage in a particular activity when suddenly, something inside you causes you to pause and listen as you sense that you should no longer move forward with what your mind is telling you to do. It's further described in Acts 16. It's like a burst of irritation or an unrest. Don't ignore it!

Finally, the Spirit leads you through a few other avenues: 

1. The anointing on your spirit- 1 John 2:27 and John 6:6
2. Pastoral leading- Mark 4: 5-36

Don't neglect the leading of the Holy Spirit. Recognize it and build that habit of waiting to be led by Him.
