Spirit-Filled Life

DAY 3 OF 7

Right after being filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. Watch the progression: leading follows filling. After Jesus was filled, He was led. It happened naturally. We will be led by whatever we are filled with. If we are filled with selfishness, we will be led by selfishness. If we are filled with anger, we will be led by anger. If we are filled with offense, we will be led by bitterness. But if we are filled with God’s peace, joy, and righteousness—which is what being filled with the Holy Spirit is—then the Spirit of God will guide our life. 

So instead of seeking God’s leading, we should focus on being filled with God. The Spirit of God leads those who are filled with Him. Being led by the Holy Spirit is the mark of sonship.

The Holy Spirit leads us to pray, fast, humble ourselves, ask for forgiveness, extend forgiveness, give sacrificially, and serve without complaining—all the things that hurt our flesh. 

Following the Holy Spirit means death to our flesh. It will result in a detachment from material things; thus, it will usually involve us giving up something that we may think is good for something better that God promised. Let’s not be surprised if our obedience to God’s voice begins with something that costs us. But, if we ignore His voice, we mute the Holy Spirit. 

Here’s a little secret I learned: Hearing God always requires faith. 

God’s voice usually leads to sacrifice before it takes us to success. 

Let’s Pray:

Holy Spirit, teach me to follow Your voice and Your leading. Teach me to hear and obey You.

About this Plan

Spirit-Filled Life

Jesus was filled, led, and empowered by the Spirit. At His ascension, He prayed to the Father that His followers would have the same power available to them by depending on the Holy Spirit. We are called to pick up our cross and follow Him, but we can’t do that unless we rely on the Holy Spirit the same way He did. Find out more in Spirit-Filled Jesus.
