You cannot follow Jesus Christ if you
do not have the Holy Spirit. We read in Romans 8:14 Paul says that
those who are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God. You
can only be a son of God, a child of God, if you have the Spirit of
God. Jesus Christ gives His Holy Spirit IN those who decide to FOLLOW
HIM, who turn from following after their own mind, their own flesh,
the desires of their flesh and after sin, who REPENT, turn away from
those things, are baptized in water; He gives then the NEW BIRTH and
He puts his Holy Spirit IN them and they LISTEN to the Holy Spirit
and they follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. But not all of them!
Most believers DO NOT HAVE THE HOLY
SPIRIT and they DO NOT FOLLOW THE GUIDANCE of the Holy Spirit. We can
only be pleasing to God if we LISTEN to the Holy Spirit and if we are
guided by the Holy Spirit, IF our life is determined by the Holy
Spirit. You need to LISTEN to the Holy Spirit and OBEY, FOLLOW Him to
be pleasing to God. If we live according to our flesh, that which I
WANT, MY reactions, MY ambitions, My desires, then we must die! But
if we IGNORE and DENY our own desires, our own reactions and lusts
and we follow after the Spirit of God, we LISTEN to Jesus and we DO
what is pleasing to HIM then we will live. THAT IS WHAT IT MEANS TO
FOLLOW JESUS. We must be led by the Holy Spirit.
It is not about reciting scriptures,
about knowing the Bible. It is about KNOWING JESUS, having the Holy
Spirit in you, LISTENING, OBEYING and FOLLOWING Him, or else we
cannot please God and we are not part of His kingdom. We can only
follow and serve Jesus Christ IF we are LED BY the Holy Spirit.
Are you FOLLOWING Jesus Christ and are
you LED by the Holy Spirit?
May Jesus bless you.
