Always Consult With

PASTOR
CHRIS
The Spirit
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt
go: I will guide thee with mine eye (Psalm 32:8).

T he Holy Spirit can tell you what to do in every

situation for you to always win in life. Many are
frustrated because they never consult with Him on the
right steps to take. They’d rather go to their relatives and
friends to help them out of trouble. Sadly, those they meet
for help only provide them counsel that doesn’t work,
because it’s based on human reasoning and sense
knowledge.
Learn to consult with the Holy Spirit for answers. Ask
Him for guidance and direction concerning everything you
do. When you face challenges that seem insurmountable,
call on Him, and He’ll tell you what to do; He’ll give you
the strategies to employ. The great men and women we
read about in Scriptures understood this truth, which was
why they never took a major step until they had consulted
with the Lord.
Joshua, for one, had to rely on the Holy Spirit to tell
Him how to take over Jericho: “And it came to pass, when
Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked,
and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his
sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and
said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? And
he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I
now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and
did worship, and said unto him, what saith my lord unto his
servant?” (Joshua 5:13-14).
The Captain of the Lord’s host referred to above is
the Holy Spirit. He gave Joshua a strategy no human
thinking could have reasoned out. No human mind could
have thought of bringing down those monstrous walls of
Jericho just by blowing trumpets and having the people
shout and praise God. But the Holy Ghost said so and it
happened just that way. The Bible says, “By faith the walls
of Jericho fell down” (Hebrews 11:30). Joshua’s faith in
the Word of the Lord was demonstrated by his obedience.
Learn to trust the Holy Spirit; depend on Him at all
times, for He’s with you, in you and for you! He’ll teach
you, lead you and guide you into victory and triumph in
everything you do, if only you’d ask Him.

Prayer
Dear Holy Spirit, my joy knows no bounds today
knowing that it’s your delight to guide and lead me in
the path of victory and success always. I know that
I’ll never walk in darkness, confusion or uncertainty
because you’re my light; you’re teaching me in the
way that I should go, and guiding me with your eye! I
love and appreciate you dearly! Amen.
