Listen, trust, and obey God by the power of the Holy Spirit. That makes sense. You can do that. You’ve done it. You’ve known when Christ showed you something was right and that you must do it. You’ve known when Christ showed you something was wrong and that you must not do it. You’ve sensed that something was wrong in a situation, and you avoided it. You’ve sensed the peace of God when something was in God’s will. You may not have given Christ the credit, but you should have.
You need to depend on the Holy Spirit alone. Depend on the Spirit of Christ.
That does bring up some questions. For instance, should you avoid all technical instructions and rather pray God would give you a vision to show you how to program your electronic devices? God could do that, and He could lead you that way. However, the Holy Spirit is likely to give you wisdom and lead you to read the instructions if that’s what’s needed. You need to be in the Spirit to have the wisdom of Christ flowing through you in either case. Should you avoid researching a topic or a procedure? Not necessarily. The Holy Spirit often leads you to look up the needed information. God will guide you in the process. When you come to a problem, you’re in the Spirit and seeking God’s will. The Holy Spirit can guide you to look at a video that shows how to do something technical. He can also give you confidence so you know what needs to be done. Don’t limit God.
Should you throw out your Bible if you depend on the Holy Spirit alone? No. The Holy Spirit will lead you to read your Bible. The Holy Spirit will interpret the meaning of the Bible for you. The Holy Spirit may guide you to look up the original meaning of a word. The Holy Spirit will warn you about false teachers and lead you to teachers and shepherds who will keep you safe from lies. He may lead you to one church body where you grow until you’re ready to move to another church body. You know God’s ultimate plan for the church is unity, but the body of Christ is in that interim between the promise and the full possession. The main thing is that you seek God’s will and yield to His Spirit. God is practical and active in your life.
What about politics in a republic like the United States? Should you avoid voting? Should you totally detach yourself? In the past, many Christians stepped out of politics. They turned their schools over to ungodly people. They turned their lawmaking responsibilities over to ungodly people. That resulted in ungodly laws that grieve the heart of God. And they thought it wouldn’t be a problem. However, it led to serious problems. Those problems are part of why the world is so crazy now.
Some say the Holy Spirit leads them to detach from the world. Some say the Holy Spirit tells them to avoid voting or even being aware of what’s happening in the world. I’m not going to second-guess that. Just be sure you’re listening to and following the Holy Spirit. Be sure you’re not following your own will or rationalized reasoning. It’s between you and God.
Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. ~ Romans 14:5b
Be sure the Holy Spirit is leading you and not the culture, a persuasive leader, or the news media. Beware of the ungodly counselors in the media and the culture. Beware of false teachers and false prophets.
