” That was a bold statement. Notice Paul said, “You should have listened to me.” He didn’t say, “You should have listened to the Lord.” He didn’t say, “The Lord told me.” He said, “I perceive.” “Ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss. And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship …<\/p>\n

Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me” (vv. 21,22,25). Paul perceived danger, and if they had listened to him, they could have avoided shipwreck. But they didn’t, so they lost all the merchandise and the ship. Yet Paul assured them there would be no lives lost, “for I believe God …” and every man’s life was saved. A statement in Acts 13 will help us further in receiving guidance from God.<\/p>\n

“Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers… As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said…” (Acts 13:1,2). Notice under what conditions the Holy Spirit said something: “As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted. ” I am not aware of many services like that today. Usually the preacher ministers to the people, not the Lord. Most of our church services are built on that principle. We are ministering to one another. But they ministered to the Lord.<\/p>\n

It was in that kind of atmosphere that the Holy Spirit spoke. It would be good for us today to have some services where we would minister to the Lord. The Inward Voice The Holy Spirit also leads us through what is known as the inward voice.<\/p>\n

When the Holy Spirit within you speaks, it will be a little more authoritative than the inward witness.<\/p>\n

1 The Inner Man\u2014The Real You 2 Guidance Through the Inner Man 3 Guidance Through Visions 4 Guidance and the Gift of Prophecy Chapter 1 The Inner Man\u2014The Real You The writer of the Book of Proverbs said that the spirit of man is the candle (lamp) of the Lord (Prov.<\/p>\n

20:27). That means that God will enlighten and guide us through our spirits. Too often, however, we seek guidance every other way except the way God said it was going to come. We judge by our physical senses, but nowhere does God say He will guide us by our senses. Or, we often look at things from a mental standpoint. But God said, “the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord,” which means that He will guide us through our spirits.<\/p>\n

Man is a spirit being. He has a soul, and he lives in a physical body. But he is a spirit being because he is made in the likeness of God. Jesus said that God is a Spirit. When the body is dead and in the grave, man lives on. Paul, speaking of physical death, said, “For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better” (Phil. 1:23). To show he was talking about physical death, he then said, “Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you” (v.<\/p>\n

24). He was saying, “When I depart I am going to be with the Lord.” You see, there is an outward man and an inward man. The outward man is not the real you. The outward man is only the “house” (body) you live in. The inward man is the real you. Before we can understand how God will guide us through our spirits, we must first find out what a spirit is.<\/p>\n

This inward man\u2014or as he is called by Peter, “the hidden man of the heart” (1 Peter 3:4)\u2014is the spirit of man. When the Bible speaks of the heart, it is speaking of the spirit, the inward man, or the hidden man. This is the real man. When Paul says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature… ” (2 Cor. 5:17), he is talking about the inward man, the real man. You certainly didn’t get a new body when you were born again, but the real you became a new man in Christ.<\/p>\n

Often our terms are so indistinct in describing things, they are confusing. It would be better to say things as the Bible says them. For instance, in First Thessalonians 5:23, Paul prays for the Church at Thessalonica saying, “I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

” Paul begins with the inside and comes to the outside.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
