The Spirit’s Testimony In Us
"The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children." (Romans 8:16)
If you’ve ever had a moment when you turned from sin and placed your faith in Jesus, then the Holy Spirit lives in you. The Spirit is not distant; He is personal. He speaks to you in ways that resonate with who you are. He knows how to get your attention, and He knows exactly what you need. You might chalk it up to “self-talk,” but it’s actually “Spirit talk.”
When you live in alignment with Christ, you begin to recognize the Spirit’s nudge. It’s not about following rules; it’s about being led by the Holy Spirit in your everyday decisions. The Spirit prompts you to do the right thing at the right time, even for people you may never have expected to help. Living a Spirit-led life means listening for His guidance rather than simply following a set of rules.
Over the years, I’ve heard many people say, “I’ve never heard God speak.” But the truth is, if you’re a child of God, you’ve heard Him. Maybe you didn’t recognize it at first, but the Holy Spirit has been speaking to you. The Spirit confirms that you belong to God and teaches you His Word.
He reminds you of what you’ve already learned and brings it to your mind exactly when you need it. In moments of uncertainty, He provides insight and recall that guides you. That’s the work of the Holy Spirit. Do you sense His presence? Are you listening for His voice in your life today?

Yes! I am living a spirit filled life and learning to listen to the Holy Spirit. It's AWESOME. I'm a beginner at it but I know at times it is the Holy Spirit that is talking to me. I pray I continue to grow in this area. As Dr. Cook says: WALK WITH THE KING AND BE A BLESSING.
