#ScriptureSunday Follow Where He Leads
This week, we are looking at what it means to walk in the Spirit.
This month, we have discussed that once we receive Jesus as Lord, the Holy Spirit comes and lives in us. Because He lives in us, we need to be aware of two essential things to live our lives by His direction.
First, we need to throw off the things that would hinder us. There are so many things in the world that we live in that vies for our attention. So many of those things cause us to take our eyes off Jesus. It is so important that we fix our eyes on Him and ask ourselves the question, "Does this draw me closer to Jesus, or does it hinder my walk with Him?"
Hebrews 12:1,2
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
The second is that if you have the Holy Spirit, you hear His voice. John 10:3 says that the sheep hear the shepherd's voice. He calls us by name and leads us.
This week, cast off those things that hinder you. Focus on your relationship with Jesus. Tune out the voices of the world. Listen to the voice of the Spirit and follow where He leads
