the "shy" ONE.

I am a member of a great Spiritual family in Pretoria, a church called Bethesda Christian Centre and I am the youngest minister in the Holy Spirit Class Ministry. God is using me there to minister to new converts and teach them who the Holy Spirit is, what the Holy Spirit does, its Baptism and the effects and evidences of the Holy Spirit. Since I joined early last year, I have learnt so much and I have grown and become even more fearful and in awe of God. I recently came across this piece where Pastor Mark reveals something new especially to me in regard to the ministry God is currently using me in. I believe that sharing it will cause a thought provoking move in someone else's life as it has done in mine. here goes:
"I will just let the Holy Spirit guide me. The Spirit will guide me." It's a common response that many make to decision making in general: the Spirit will lead me. I've said it myself, I'm sure. Yet there is a subtle danger in such a process of deciding, thinking the Spirit alone will guide. The danger is that such thought tends to separate the Word of God from the Spirit of God. That biblical fact is, the Holy Spirit is the shyest member of the Holy Trinity and seeks never to draw attention to Himself but only to Christ. (Paul makes this point throughout the eighth chapter of Romans, remembering too that the inspired word through Paul says that only by the Holy Spirit can anyone say "Jesus is Lord.") The Holy Spirit then guides according to the what has already been declared as truth in God's Word. He never goes beyond the Word or contrary to the Word. So if we say, "the Spirit will guide us," let us understand this to mean that the Holy Spirit will bring us back to and deeper into the Word of God, as we read and hear it in the Holy Scriptures. With this understanding of the Spirit's leading, we will always be led to make the right decisions.
