Subject: Discerning the Leading of Holy Spirit |
Bible Note: As I thought about the implications of this teaching, I began to list the following corresponding counter-points: 1. Resistance to the Holy Spirit is, therefore, my rebellion to God's command. (Acts 7:51) 2. Resistance to the Holy Spirit is my taking the heavy yoke and my refusing the light yoke. (Matthew 11:29-30) 3. Resistance to the Holy Spirit is my embracing the devil's chaos and my refusing rest. (cf Luke 11:24) 4. Resistance to the Holy Spirit is pride, setting myself above the authority of God, and drawing to myself all that is due by sin. (Romans 7:25) My default state is to resist (Acts 7:51) rather than yield -- except by God's grace and mercy (1 Peter 1:2-3). Plus, He has kindly given to us the Word, so that we need not be untaught and unstable and unstable (2 Peter 3:16). |
