He Speaks Wisdom All The Time .

Now when they had gone throughout
Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and
were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to
preach the word in Asia, After they
were come to Mysia, they assayed to
go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered
them not (Acts 16:6-7) .
Paul and his companions decided to go
to certain regions to preach the
Gospel, but the Holy Spirit prevented
them from going at that time. How did
they know it was the Holy Spirit who
didn't let them do it? They were so
acquainted and yielded to Him that
they could recognize His voice. That
being so, He was able to lead and
instruct them. He “didn't let them”
say what they wanted to say or do
what they wanted to do, just because it
was good. Afterwards, they received
guidance and went to Macedonia to
preach (Acts 16:8-9). Halleluiah!
The Holy Spirit has a voice, and He
speaks to you from the Word.
Whenever He speaks He speaks
wisdom, for the Word of God is the
Wisdom of God! That's why it's so
important for you to learn and know
God’s Word. He never says anything
outside the Word. Whatever He tells
you is always in sync with the written
Word, and consistent with God’s will
for your life. John 16:13 says, “Howbeit
when he, the Spirit of truth, is come,
he will guide you into all truth: for he
shall not speak of himself; but
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he
speak: and he will shew you things to
come.”
If you're acquainted with the Word,
you’ll know whenever the Holy Spirit
talks to you, for He bears witness to
the Scriptures. When He tells you to
do anything, don't try to question or
rationalize His counsel because He’s
the Spirit of wisdom. You can't follow
His leading and lose. He’ll lead and
guide you from success to success, and
from glory to glory.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the Holy
Spirit who has come to live in me, and
guides me in the path of your perfect
will! My life is an unending stream of
the miraculous because I’m totally
yielded to His guidance and promptings
from within, in the Name of Jesus.
Amen.
Further Study: Romans 8:26-27
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our
infirmities: for we know not what we
should pray for as we ought: but the
Spirit itself maketh intercession for us
with which cannot be uttered. 27 And
he that searcheth the hearts knoweth
what is the mind of the Spirit, because
he maketh intercession for the saints
according to the will of God. ,
Isaiah 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a
word behind thee, saying, This is the
way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the
right hand, and when ye turn to the
left.
