John 14:16-17| “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever – The Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you.”

1. How have you seen the Heavenly Father looking out for you?
2. When was the last time you did NOT recognize God looking out for you, until after the fact?
3. Where and how do you see the “Spirit of Truth” alive and active today in Jesus’ followers?
4. Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit, as the “Spirit of Truth” 3 times to his disciples to drive home the thought that the Holy Spirit was trustworthy. How is this still true today for Jesus followers?

R E S P O N D 

1. Looking back on your life, how have you seen God orchestrate key decisions or moments for you?
2. How have you seen the Holy Spirit active in your life in recent days?
3. When was a time that you ignored the Holy Spirit’s nudge in your heart, only to discover later that it really was the Holy Spirit?
4. What was that experience, and what was the result of your not doing what He was prompting you to do?

Father, I confess that I have been fearful about following the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Today I admit it; I confess it; and I turn from it. I want to experience the coaching ministry of the Holy Spirit in my life. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. Therefore, I know He will never mislead me. Starting today, I choose to put aside my apprehensions and surrender to the leadership of the Holy Spirit. With Him helping me, I will begin to follow His leading and let Him guide me through life. AMEN!!!
