Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the
wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Matthew 4:1
It was interesting how the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness. Jesus
heard and responded to the leading of the Spirit, even if that meant a period
of forty days fasting in the wilderness. At the end, he also had to endure temptation.
Those who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. I used to
think you evidence that you are a son of God by how you are led by the Spirit.
However, Jesus was first declared the Son of God, and then led by His Spirit,
according to our passage, into the wilderness. You do not have to be led by the
Holy Spirit before you become a son of God. It is the other way round - you are
led because you are a son. This revelation just changed my perspective in so
many ways.
The Holy Spirit leads me because I am a son of Elohim God by adoption
through Christ Jesus. This gives me the confidence and courage to take steps or
actions that might not make sense to people. I have the faith and trust in God to know
that the Spirit of Almighty Elohim lives in me.
Many believers still struggle with fully understanding their identity as
a son of God. As son of the Most High God, His Spirit gives you direct
access to His manifold wisdom. You tap into the abundance of grace because you
are led by Elohim.
The Spirit of Elohim will lead you only into those things that are of
God - righteous and holy. Do not misuse the privilege
but maximize the power to bring forth the Kingdom of God here on
earth.
Remember you are not alone.
Almighty Father, thank You for adopting me as your son. I pray for the sensitive heart to hear and listen to Your Spirit. May I be led by Your Spirit in every area of my life in Christ Jesus. Amen
I pray this inspires you to be more and do more for Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ). Spend this week to meditate on the passage and take relevant step to live out your faith.
