A study from Vince Baker Ministries
How can I discern the Spirit’s leading?
Romans 8 connects the Spirit’s leading with belonging to God and turning from sinful practices. Galatians describes the fruit of a Spirit-led life, including love, patience, and self-control. Compare an impression with Scripture, examine its fruit, and seek counsel when the decision carries consequences for other people.
How should readers handle a striking attributed phrase?
One saying in this set uses provocative language about moving the Holy Spirit. The collection labels its attribution. First Corinthians 12 gives a clear point of comparison by placing the distribution of gifts in the Spirit’s hands. Let the passage guide how you apply the saying to prayer or ministry.
