- [ Instructor] Four ways God guides us.
It is the leading of the Lord,
and not the strength of a man
that makes great leaders on Earth.
Welcome to Grace Digital presentation.
In this video, we will cover four ways God guides us,
and at the end, there's a short prayer for you.
The truth is, when your destiny is guided by God,
you will end up supernaturally distinguished
as God supernaturally distinguishes His followers.
Number one, the voice of the spirit.
The Holy Spirit speaks to us,
either by an inner witness or an outer audible voice.
God guides us through the voice of the spirit.
God has a voice and He still speaks to His people today.
God guided people, multiple times in the Word of God.
Acts 10 verse 19 tells us,
as Peter continued to reflect on the vision,
the spirit told him,
"Three men are here looking for you,
"get up and go downstairs
"and accompany them without hesitation,
"because I have sent them."
As Peter continued to reflect on the vision,
the spirit told him,
"Three men are here looking for you."
The voice of the Spirit,
which is the voice of the Lord is a majestic voice.
It breaks the cedars and divides the flame of fire.
The voice of the Lord is full of power and majesty.
The voice of the Lord is very essential in every step
that you take in life.
The spirit witnesses to you,
by impressing something on your spirit.
By the end of this video,
we pray that your spiritual ears pop open,
so that she can hear the voice of the Lord.
John 16 verse 13 tells us,
but when he, the spirit of truth, comes,
He will guide you into all truth.
He will not speak on his own,
He will speak only what he hears,
and he will tell you what is yet to come.
It is in your best interest to heed the voice of the Spirit
when you hear it.
If you have ever heard God speak to you,
then you have heard the Spirit of God.
You cannot trust yourself
to make all the decisions in this world,
as you may have good intentions,
but still go down the wrong road.
Paying attention to the voice of the spirit,
is an awesome way to to achieving great success in life.
If you want to get your divine destination,
then you need divine direction.
A lot of people bear too many heavy burdens,
because they are on the paths that are not theirs.
Number two, the Word of God.
This is the principal method
that God uses to guide all of us as children of God.
The Word of God is the guardian of our destiny.
The Bible calls it, a more sure word of prophecy.
This can be seen in Second Peter, chapter one verse 19.
The Word of God tells us,
thy word is the lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path.
Psalm 119 verse 105,
every great future is rooted in the discoveries
that we make from prayers.
Pray, this prayer with me.
Lord, as I go through the scripture from the word,
help me encounter light in my area of calling.
So that I will always know what steps to take.
Divine guidance comes through the Word of God.
And who is the word of God?
Jesus.
John 1:1-3, lets us know this.
In Luke five, we are told the story of how Peter
and his men labored all through the midnight
and caught nothing.
Jesus then came to that location and said to him,
launch out into the deep for a catch.
Jesus gave them a command, and when they obeyed,
they puled a great catch.
You will always locate the right side from the Bible,
because it is the truth.
God's Word will not lead you astray.
You can watch our videos or other inspired messages,
but it will never be as powerful to you
as reading the Word of God.
As a matter of fact, if you had a single option
between watching this or reading the Bible,
I will tell you to read the Bible.
All roads lead there.
Even when you come here, we will lead you back there.
This is why you should plan your days
around the Word of God.
Read it before you leave your home.
Read it on a Saturday morning when you're at your desk.
Second Timothy, verse three to 16 says,
all scripture, God-breathed and is useful for teaching,
rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.
The scripture is one of the ways
that the Lord accomplishes His promise
in Isaiah 48 verse 17,
to lead you by the way that you should go.
Number three, the witness of the Spirit.
The healthier your spirit is,
the stronger the witness your spirit
can receive and relate with.
The healthiest spirit, the more sensitive it will become
to the movement of the Spirit of God.
Whatever does not create liberty in spirit
is a constraint of the Holy Spirit,
against the step you about to take.
For the Bible says, wherever the Spirit of the Lord is,
there's liberty.
Second Corinthians three, verse 17,
now the Lord is the spirit,
where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Paul the Apostle,
was the man that benefited from the Ministry
of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 16:6-7 records this about him.
Paul and his companions,
traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia,
having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word
in the province of Asia.
When they came to the border of Misha,
they tried to enter Betania,
but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to.
The Holy Ghost, said no to their moves by constraining them.
So, whenever you spirit man is resisted and choked,
be very cautious.
Because it might be the Spirit of God constraining you,
against the step that you're about to take.
A lot of people forge ahead in life anyway,
and insensitive to this.
The Holy Ghost, bears witness with your spirit.
And when there is no liberty or release,
it means He is placing a check on you,
or the move you're presently on, or about to make.
Be careful.
A witness of the spirit
is as strong as the voice of the Lord.
So thank God for that.
Maybe about to start getting into business,
but you're not receiving a release in your spirit.
But you're still going ahead with it.
Simply because your friend asked you to.
You have to maintain a healthy spirit.
My brothers and sisters,
you have to maintain a healthy spirit.
Watch out for liberty in your spirit
in every step you're about to take.
So you don't keep getting choked, rather than flying.
Number four, vision.
Visions can be seen as spiritual pictures,
painted by the Holy Spirit in charting a path into a future
or unfolding the plans of God in our lives.
Everyone on earth is created to fulfill the purpose.
God revealed His purpose for creating Prophet Jeremiah.
Jeremiah one verse five,
before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.
Before you were born, I set you apart.
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.
He also had a purpose for Apostle Paul.
But when God, who set me apart from my mother's womb,
and called me by His grace, was pleased.
The vision received by Peter in Acts 10:9-20,
was what land the spread of the gospel
throughout the Gentiles' sphere.
That prove that Jesus is Lord of the whole world,
and not just the Lord of the Jews.
Apostle Paul also received a vision
that showed him the next step that he had to take.
Acts 16:9-10,
during the night Paul had a vision of a man
of Macedonia standing and begging him,
"Come over to Macedonia and help us."
After Paul had seen the vision,
we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia.
Concluding that God had called us
to preach the gospel to them.
God is committed to leading you,
if you remain committed to following Him.
My brothers and sisters, the truth is this,
it is the right of every child of God, to be led by God.
God has settled plan for His children.
You only have to recognize it to be so and reach out for it.
Come on the right platform for getting it
and tune up to the voice of the Lord.
Through the guidance of the scriptures,
the voice of the Spirit, the witness of the Spirit,
and visions of heaven.
You remain supernaturally in command.
If you are interested,
we will lead you through a short prayer
to help you be divinely guided.
Let us pray.
Lord,
I praise you for bringing me into your eternal purpose.
Lord, I also thank you,
because I know that you're working out everything,
in conformity with the purpose of your will.
Ephesians one verse 11 says, in Him, we're also chosen,
having been predestined according to the plan of Him,
who works out everything in conformity
with the purpose of His will.
You are the master strategist,
Lord, I pray that you awaken my heart
and establish your reign over my life.
Out of your glorious riches, strengthen me with power,
through your spirit in my inner being,
and give me a spirit of wisdom and revelation
that I may know you better.
Ephesians 3:16-17 says,
in whom also we have obtained an inheritance,
being predestined according to the purpose of Him,
who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will.
Make me fully alive to your destiny in my life.
I pray that you will give me a greater vision
of who you are.
I acknowledge my dependence on you.
I pray that you will give me a greater vision
of who you are.
I acknowledge my dependence on you.
And thank you that impossibilities in my life,
give you freedom to work.
Your mighty power is shown through my weakness,
your positioning for your end time harvest.
You breathe your life into my impossibilities,
in every area of difficulty in my life.
Help me to understand you supremacy,
your sovereignty, and your glory.
Help me align with you and make your presence
the central theme of my life.
The Lord reigns, the Lord on high is mighty, Psalm 93:1-4.
In Jesus name, amen.
We pray you're blessed by this video,
and we pray you reach the destination
that God wants for you.
Till tomorrow.
