BookClub- How You can Be Led by the Spirit of God- Kenneth E Hagins

You are welcome to BookClub.This Week,which happens to be the beginning of a New Month, we will be reading a Kenneth E. Hagins Book- How You can Be Led by the Spirit of God.

This is one thing we all should desire as Christians because the bible says that 'as many as are led by the spirit of God are the sons of God'. The leading of the Spirit is the guarantee of our Eternal Life.

The entire book will not be published but every chapter will be previewed and I strongly recommend that you get a hard copy for future references.

Ensure that you do not miss any part of this book reading. Enjoy!


Chapter 1: The Lamp of The Lord

The Spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly
- Proverbs 20:27
What it means is this: God will enlighten us- He will guide us-through our spirits.

We sometimes judge how God is leading by what our physical senses tell us.But nowhere does God say that God will guide us through our physical senses.

The Bible does not say that the body of man is the candle of the Lord, nor that the mind is the candle of the Lord. It says the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord.

Now before we can understand how God does lead us and guide us through our spirits, we have to understand the nature of man.

Chapter 2: Man: An Eternal Spirit

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:...
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him.... 
- Genesis 1:26-27
Jesus said God is a Spirit (John 4:24). So man must of necessity be a spirit. Man is a spirit, he has a soul, and he lives in a physical body (1 Thess. 5:23).
When the physical body of man is dead and in the grave, the spirit lives on. That part of man is eternal.

There is an outward man. And there is an outward man. The outward man is not the real you. The outward man is only the house in which you live. The inward man is the real you. The inward man is a spirit man.

The part of man that is born again is his spirit. Man's spirit receives eternal life- the life of God, and the nature of God. It is man's spirit that is made a new creature in Christ.

Chapter 3: Spirit Conscious

...I pray God whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless.
- 1 Thessalonians 5:23

Sometimes we are more mental-conscious because we live more in the mental realm... we need to be spirit conscious .Spiritual things will be more real to us the more spirit-conscious we become.

If we are going to be led by the Spirit of God, we must become more spirit-conscious, or we'll miss out on the whole thing.God's Spirit lead us through our spirits.
