"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." (John 14:16-17 KJV)

One concern that most Christians have is how they can be sure that they are being led by the Holy Spirit

Whereas there are several ways by which the Holy Spirit leads or direct us. The most surest way is through the word of God. Hallelujah!

Remember that our Lord Jesus Christ referred to the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Truth (John 14:17), and that truth is our Lord Jesus Christ or the Word of God. So the Holy Spirit can be referred to as the Spirit of the Word.

Thus, for any idea that you receive, any dream, vision, or prophecy that you receive, the litmus text that it is coming from the Holy Spirit is how that idea or counsel conforms to the written Word of God. That is how you get to know that that counsel is really from the Spirit of God.

If the counsel does not conform unto the Word of God, know that it cannot be from the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of Truth or the Spirit of the Word. Glory to God! Hallelujah!

Prayer/Declaration
Heavenly Father, I thank you for the opportunity to be led by the Holy Spirit through Your word. I declare that I yield to this leadership of the Spirit by Your word in Jesus name. Amen!
