The Holy Spirit’s Leadership Style

Galatians 5:16

"The Holy Spirit never coerces, never compels, never puts on the pressure, and never bullies. He does not drive; He leads. He leads; we follow. He leads us into all truth. He leads us in the paths of righteousness. He leads us step-by-step. He leads gently, understandingly, and unerringly. He leads us in our daily quiet time. He leads us by the godly counsel of Spirit-taught men. He leads through the circumstances of life. He leads by gently witnessing with our spirit in the innermost recesses of our being. He leads by quickening our conscience. He leads by encouraging us or by restraining us, by assuring us or by reproving us. He leads, but He never drives. He never gives us that 'now-or-never' feeling or that 'do-this-or-else' urging. He leads. We follow one step at a time." —John Phillips
