Proverbs 20:27. The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
2 Corinthians 13:14“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”
Rom 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be led or spoken to by the Holy Spirit. Sometimes, with me at times, literally feels like something outside of yourself is sending you a message. It’s that moment when, despite all logical evidence sitting in front of us, our instincts are screaming just the opposite. This is very new to me. Since I've been studying in the Bible more and praying regularly these gut feelings/messages are stronger. I spent the first half of my life with "head knowledge" (ie going to college, spending lots of time studying man made theories, etc). Listening to our gut, listening to the Holy Spirit's voice is a "totally different" type of experience that will lead you into what God wants you to experience and do for him.
A witness is a ‘knowing’ or a ‘spirit connection’ that God is confirming an answer.
It is like a light bulb turned in our spirit man.
Can be descried as a tremendous lightness or flooding peace.
There is such a thing as a positive and negative witness.
Instead of feeling lightness or peace you sense a sudden heaviness or deadness in your spirit man.
Some describe this as sinking or evaporating feeling concerning what they are hearing.
It is not a feeling, it is a knowing in your spirit.
How do we get a stronger spiritual connection with God? In my life, getting to know Him through consistent Bible study and praying for guidance. Its a daily exercise that can get stronger with consistency, maturity and knowledge in His Word.
My uncle, Gary Morris, introduced me to John Piper and his inspirational books. This is a detailed account of how he heard the Holy Spirit ...speaking to him. Dr. Piper is founder and teacher of desiringGod.org and chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary. . He grew up in Greenville, South Carolina, and studied at Wheaton College, Fuller Theological Seminary (B.D.), and the University of Munich (D.theol.). For six years, he taught Biblical Studies at Bethel College in St. Paul, Minnesota, and in 1980 accepted the call to serve as pastor at Bethlehem. John is the author of more than 50 books. Hope you enjoy!
