Bible Question: Before God I used my own mind to think, reason, and figure things out; now that I'm saved I keep hearing my husband say the Lord told him this and the Lord told him that and I can't tell the difference between then and now! I read the Word, I pray, and I reach for Him, yet I can't honestly say I know the Holy Spirit is directing me in any way that I am aware of. Can any one help me? |
Bible Answer: Micket's Mom I found a book for you I think will be good. Try googling it. It is "The Mystery Of The Holy Spirit", by R.C. Sproul. http://www.monergism.com/directory/link_category/Holy-Spirit/Work-of-the-Holy-Spirit/ Doc is a real gold mine of information, as are plenty of others on this site, he is where I got the site from. Judging from the names of the authors, you will find sound teachings there. Here are some scriptures about the role of the Holy Spirit I found - John 16:5-15 John 14:23-27 John 1:33 I Corinthians 12:4-13 2 Peter 1:21 I would like to be most careful in any attempt to answer your question outside of the confines of what scripture proscribes as the role of the Holy Spirit. So I gave you scriptures that talk about what His role is with us. In all humbleness, I notice that you hardly ever include scriptures with your questions? I don't think from observing everyone else that anyone here is so consistent as to "always" include scriptures. But, I can only speak for myself, I try hard to include scriptures wherever I can. It would be nice to know a little bit about who you are Mickys Mom, please fill out your profile so we can all get to know you! Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |
