Joseph, we are here with you in prayer, seeking God's will and the movement of the Holy Spirit in your life. We commend you for seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We really only know a few things about the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God and was involved in creation. The Holy Spirit impregnated Mary giving Jesus the human characteristics needed to be one of us. The Holy Spirit receives commands from God the Father to implement the plan of Jesus Christ that God has ordained. We see this in the Great Trinity when Jesus Christ was baptized in the Jordan River by John. The Holy Spirit appeared as a dove. The Great Trinity is the Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. There are no other entities.
The Holy Spirit is supposed to dwell in each born again Christian Believer as Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to do.. In John's Gospel Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit. In the book of Revelations, though a few letters Jesus says He knows our deeds. For the Holy Spirit to know our deeds, the Holy Spirit would have to be dwelling in us and participating in our daily lives.
One of the tools the Holy Spirit uses is the sword of His Word. Jesus defeated Satan with His word and this sword is sharper than any two edged sword. This calls to our memory the verse,
For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 (WEB)
One of the ways that the Holy Spirit communicates is to bring His word to our remembrance.
The words that I speak with you are Spirit and are life. But there are some of you who don't believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn't believe, and who it was who would betray him. He said, For this cause have I said to you that no man can come to me, unless it is given to him of my Father. At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Jesus said therefore to the twelve, "You don't also want to go away, do you? Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God. John 6:63 71 (WEB)
That is why we do not see anything wrong in your request. You are asking for guidance and strength from God.
Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10. We need to take time to listen to God's still small voice. The Holy Spirit never yells or gets excited. The Holy Spirit only does what God ordains,
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
All things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose and plan. Romans 8:28 The Sword of the Spirit may come to our remembrance bringing His Truth to our lives when we need it to stay on the correct path to His perfection.
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up JosephAngels. We ask that You send Your Holy Spirit to guide JosephAngels in all truth, influencing his understanding of Scripture and directing his paths as promised in Psalm 46:10. Help him to be still and know that You are God, trusting in Your divine guidance. Give JosephAngels the ears to hear you.
The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice." John 10:3 4
Help JosephAngels to be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let Your requests be made known to God. Prayer does make a difference in our lives. We are all proof of that. Help JosephAngels to read his Bible daily so that the Holy Spirit can bring verses to his memory as needed.
In Jesus' Name.
