You need a Guide in Life



 Ever try to figure things out without a map? Ever try to succeed without a mentor? We need mentors and guide, the greatest of which is Jesus. Hear his words and consider these thoughts on listening to him.

“…the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.”
John 14: 26
Jesus said to the people who believed in him, "You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. John 8: 31

The way we are guided is marked by Listening
I have to choose to listen to the voice of the Lord. Consider for a minute these thoughts about learning to listen to him.

1.       God speaks in my innermost spirit.
2.       God tends to speak with gentle leadings.
3.       God’s voice produces freedom.
4.       God tends to speak when I am seeking him.
5.       When God is speaking, there is a sense that everything is under control.
6.       God gives specific directions.
7.       God convicts of specific sins.
8.       God speaks with 100% truth that can be tested by the Word of God.
9.       God’s voice always leads to a deep, abiding sense of peace.       

He is speaking to you. The question is are you listening?
