How To Be Led By The Holy Spirit: Discerning God's Will For Your Life. This item is unavailable.How To Be Led By The Holy Spirit: Discerning God's Will For Your Life

How does the Holy Spirit speak to you? Is it a burning in the bosom, an inner impression, or a still, small voice? Do you need confirmation from other people who are praying and from circumstances that are presumably manipulated by God to convince you to make a decision that will be smack dab in the center of God’s will? David Platt is a best-selling author, and he was the pastor of the Church at Brook Hills, a megachurch in Birmingham, Alabama. In 2014, he received an offer to become the president of the International Missionary Board for the Southern Baptists, and he accepted this offer. In making his decision, David used the ideas stated in the above paragraph, along with others. His example is important since he follows fundamental Christianity. This book examines his decision-making process, compares it with scripture, and finds that it is hopelessly lacking in discerning the will of the Lord. This book also presents the way decisions should be made. Yes, the Holy Spirit does speak and lead Christians today, but He does so through God’s Word alone, not through inner impressions and the manipulation of circumstances. Read, and discover how to make decisions in your life so that you know that those decisions line up with the will of the Lord.

The author believes that God has inspired and preserved His Word perfectly without error today, just as He promised He would, down to the very letter (II Timothy 3:16-17; Psalm 12:6-7; Matthew 5:18; Matthew 24:35), and God’s Word today in English is the King James Version of the Bible. In order to maintain the purity of God’s Word, the author rightly divides the Word of truth (II Timothy 2:15). This involves understanding that God made Israel His chosen people, beginning with Abraham in Genesis 12. God set Israel aside at the stoning of Stephen due to their unbelief (Acts 7). God started the mystery dispensation with Paul in Acts 9. The mystery program will continue until our gathering together with the Lord Jesus Christ (II Thessalonians 2:1), at which time the body of Christ will occupy heavenly positions in Christ (Ephesians 2:6). Then, God will save Israel through the tribulation period (Romans 11:25-26) and reconcile the earth back to Himself with Israel being a kingdom of priests to the Gentiles (Exodus 19:5-6). As such, both heaven and earth will be gathered together with Christ in God for all eternity (Ephesians 1:10; Colossians 3:3). For holding to these beliefs, the author was expelled from Calvary Chapel Bible College in 2009.
