Sermon Overview
Often subtitled "The Great Confirmation," this message explains that a disciple's life is not one of guesswork. Reidhead posits that as we surrender our wills, the Spirit provides a "witness" or confirmation that we are walking in God’s path, often using the "peace of God" as a spiritual umpire in our hearts.
Key Principles
Resident Guide: Rely on the Holy Spirit as your internal counselor for both large and small decisions.
Umpire of Peace: Use the "Peace of God" in your heart to settle disputes or confirm directions.
Word/Spirit/Circumstance:Look for the "triple alignment" of Scripture, internal peace, and providential openings.
Distinguishing Impulses: Test every "lead" to see if it satisfies a fleshly desire or a divine purpose.
Role of Community:Seek confirmation from spiritually mature believers to verify your internal "peace."
Waiting for Green Light: Practice the discipline of waiting until the Spirit provides clear internal liberty before acting.
Safety in Surrender:Trust that a will fully resigned to God is the only "fail-safe" for hearing His voice.
Fruit of Intimacy: Look for guidance as a natural overflow of your relationship with Christ, not a technical formula.
