“So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.” —Galatians 5:16 (NLT)
God says to let Him guide your life—not for you to guide it yourself. Temptation is real, but so is the power of God, which He gives you to choose what is right.
What does it mean to let the Holy Spirit guide your life? Let’s make it simple.
Who or what is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth living inside us. When Jesus Christ was crucified and resurrected to secure salvation for all humanity by paying the penalty for sin (death) and defeating it through resurrection. He made a way for us to receive this gift The Holy Spirit. In the Book of John, Jesus promises that God will send the Holy Spirit to help us, teach us, and lead us.
(a quick note—when you see red words in the Bible, it represent the direct spoken words of Jesus Christ, designed to help readers easily locate his teachings and dialogue. I love when I see red words in the bible. If you know you know.)
“If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. – John 14:15-17 (NIV)
–John 14:26
The advocate intercedes, defends, or acts as a helper, specifically referring to Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. The biblical greek word for advocate is (parakletos) is one who pleads another’s cause before a judge. Believe it or not we all will be judged! So when we say, “let the Holy Spirit guide you,” that’s the advocate giving you guidance from God The Father, To God The Son, To The Holy Spirit, and told to you straight from God.
We have to put all effort to lean on the Holy Spirit so we can walk by the Spirit to overcome sinful desires. “Walk” implies a continuous, active lifestyle or conduct. This phrase suggests a daily, moment-by-moment reliance on the Holy Spirit for guidance and strength.
“Take a moment today to examine your heart. Ask yourself what you’re still holding onto. Instead, give it to Jesus. Pray honestly, surrender fully, and choose to place your trust, your life, and your eternity in His hands. Ask Him to forgive your sins. He is a forgiving God. Tomorrow isn’t promise
