David Wilkerson emphasizes the vital role of the Holy Spirit as the
guiding voice of God within us, highlighting that the Spirit abides in
believers, making their bodies His temple. He explains that the Holy
Spirit communicates God's thoughts and instructions to all followers of
Jesus, not just church leaders, and that He consistently aligns His
guidance with Scripture. Wilkerson encourages believers to spend quality
time with God to hear His voice clearly, assuring them that the Spirit
will never lead them astray or leave them in confusion. The sermon
underscores the importance of being receptive to the Holy Spirit's
leading in every aspect of life, promising that God reveals Himself in
profound ways during difficult times.

When Scripture says the Holy Spirit "abides" in us, it means God's
Spirit comes in and possesses our bodies, making it his temple. And
because the Holy Spirit knows the mind and voice of the Father, he
speaks God's thoughts to us: "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is
come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of
himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will
show you things to come" (John 16:13). The Holy Spirit is the voice of
God in and to us!

If you have the Holy Spirit abiding in you, he will instruct you
personally. Please know he doesn't speak only to pastors, prophets and
teachers, but to all followers of Jesus. This is evident all through the
New Testament, as the Holy Spirit led and guided his people, constantly
saying to them, "Go here, go there...enter this town...anoint that
person..." The early believers were led everywhere and in everything by
the Holy Ghost!

And the Spirit never speaks a single word contrary to the Scriptures.
Instead, he uses the Scriptures to speak clearly to us. He never gives
us a "new revelation" apart from God's Word. He opens up to us his
revealed Word, to lead, guide and comfort us, and to show us things to
come.

I am convinced God speaks only to those who, like Moses, "come and stand
by him." This means we have to spend quality time with the Lord daily--
waiting on him to open our heart fully to hear his voice, not being
rushed in his presence, believing he loves to speak to us. He won't keep
anything from us--and he'll never allow us to be deceived or left in
confusion. Even in the most difficult times, we'll enjoy a time of great
rejoicing--because he will reveal himself to us as never before.
