Divine Guidance | Episode 10 | Can I Get A Witness

Grace & Truth

September 25, 2024 • Duane Sheriff • Romans 14:7, Isaiah 45:19, 1 John 5:7–10, Romans 13:8–10

In the tenth episode of "Divine Guidance," Duane Sheriff teaches the importance of being led by the Holy Spirit and discerning God's voice. He shares his experiences of initially dismissing the Holy Spirit's leading but then learning to recognize and follow it.

God leads us through an "inner witness" in our spirit and provides several witnesses to confirm this inner leading. The first witness is the Word of God - the Holy Spirit will never contradict clear biblical principles. The second witness is the love of God, as 1 John 4:8 states that "God is love." Anything that violates God's nature of unconditional love is not from Him.

The kingdom protocol in Romans 14:17 states that the kingdom of God is characterized by "righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit." God's voice will always align with these spiritual realities, not just selfish desires or unrighteous actions. Isaiah 45:19, "I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right." When God speaks, it will align with what is morally upright and just. He cautions against following voices that contradict God's word or promote unrighteous behavior, even if they claim to be from God.

Develop an ear to hear God's voice, test it against Scripture, and respond in faith. By learning to discern and obey the Holy Spirit's leading, believers can experience God's power and see lives transformed.

Divine Guidance | Episode 1 | We Are Led

September 12, 2024 • Duane Sheriff • Romans 8:11–17

In the brand new series, "Divine Guidance," Duane Sheriff teaches how God leads us, how God speaks to us, and how to confirm the inner witness of the Lord's leading in your life. How can you differentiate between God speaking, your imagination, or your own desires independent of His will? Nothing is more critical in a believer's life than being led by the Lord, knowing the voice of God, and discerning, recognizing, and obeying His voice. Many grew up in church seeking the Lord but were never taught how to discern the inner witness, the voice of God. This series will help you learn the language of the Holy Spirit. Every kingdom has a language, and the Holy Spirit speaks in a unique, inner way within the Kingdom of God. The decisions we make, influenced by the inner witness of the Holy Spirit, determine the quality of life we will live. Decisions made independently of God's will lead to forms of death, depression, and discouragement.

Divine Guidance | Episode 2 | The Inner Witness

September 13, 2024 • Duane Sheriff • Romans 8:12–14, Ezekiel 36:26, John 16:13

In the second episode of "Divine Guidance," Duane Sheriff teaches how God leads and guides us through our inner spirit. Romans 8:14 states, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." It is crucial to discern and follow the inner voice of the Holy Spirit. God doesn't just lead us by external circumstances but primarily speaks to us from within. The guidance of the Holy Spirit is like a GPS system, urging us to heed the corrections and directions given by God. Even when we make mistakes or stray from God's path, the Holy Spirit guides us back in the right direction. The Holy Spirit, God's divine guidance system, is indwelling within you. He never leaves or forsakes you and is always speaking through the inner witness. Even when we dismiss or override His guidance, He prompts us to repent and recalculates our route to guide us back to His will.

Divine Guidance | Episode 3 | God Speaks

September 16, 2024 • Duane Sheriff • Romans 8:14, Mark 4

In the third episode of "Divine Guidance," Duane Sheriff teaches how to hear God's voice. Mark chapter 4 highlights the importance of choosing to hear God's voice and how it can lead us to wise decisions that bring healing and prosperity into our lives. Romans 8:14: "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God." If you are born again, it is your birthright to be led by the Lord. Even though God constantly speaks and leads, it is not automatic and requires faith. Duane references biblical examples to illustrate that God has always talked to His people, from Adam and Eve to Enoch, Noah, and beyond. Discern God's voice and heed His guidance in every aspect of life – for your occupation, relationships, or personal decisions. Sin does not stop God's voice. Instead, He calls us to repentance and closer fellowship. God's guidance is always available; we must learn to recognize and respond to it.
