Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. After we are born again by the Word of God from the Holy Spirit of God, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit lives in us and teaches and guides us, showing us the will of God.
I Cor. 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Like Jesus, God is our Father
after we are born of HIS Spirit, and God lives in us by HIS Spirit.
Matthew l:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
God is also
"with us" for by HIS Spirit, Jesus dwells in us after we are born again by the Holy Spirit.
John 5:30 Jesus says: I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear (from God), I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
The Holy Spirit will bring to our minds a scripture or a concept to show us the will of God for us as we live on this earth, and we believe that Word and know it shows us God's will and we take action appropriate to that word which is given us by God.
I find this to be very comforting to know it is God's will for me to do such and such.
For example: In 2020, I was considering putting new upholstery on my 25-year-old car. As I thought about this, the following from the Spirit of God came to my mind: "Or you could just buy a new car." I began thinking on that word and I reasoned:
"I could buy a new car. I had just sold my house in Texas and the money was in my bank account and I had plenty of money to buy a new car." That same night, God gave me a dream: I bought a new car.
That is what I did the following day. I knew it was authored by God to do that and it was approved by God.
God knows the future.
I was sure God was showing me the best way for me to go in this matter.
Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? (says God) Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
God leads us by thoughts brought to our mind by HIS Spirit and also by dreams which HE gives us.
