RECEIVING INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT

Acts 13:1-3 ERV "In the church at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers. They were Barnabas, Simeon (also called Niger), Lucius (from the city of Cyrene), Manaen (who had grown up with King Herod ), and Saul. These men were all serving the Lord and fasting when the Holy Spirit said to them, “Appoint Barnabas and Saul to do a special work for me. They are the ones I have chosen to do it.” So the church fasted and prayed. They laid their hands on Barnabas and Saul and sent them out."

RECEIVING INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT

A Christian that has no fellowship with the Holy Spirit is dead; lifeless, and he will always struggle. The Holy Spirit was given to us to be with us. In other words, without Him we can do nothing; without Him we would find it difficult to achieve our goals. As a matter of fact, our goals should be those inspired by the Holy Spirit. 

When Jesus was leaving, He said He would send the Holy Spirit to replace Him. The Holy Spirit is exactly like Jesus, they are One, therefore, the Holy Spirit is the Head of the Church and we must be fully yielded to Him. Our primary objective daily should be to do His will; to do only what pleases Him. Meaning that we must be led by Him constantly.

But what we have noticed is that a lot of us hardly hear Him and are able to recognise His voice. But it won't be difficult if we fast and pray as often as we should. Praying with fasting makes our spirits attentive to the Holy Spirit and then we can easily receive divine instructions from Him that gives us an advantage over others and causes us to succeed in whatever we do.

Fasting continues until tomorrow.
