"Re:  Warning to the Prophets"


The following are a few of the many scriptures which instruct by declaration and example that we are to be led by the Spirit.  I await scriptures which offer example or commandments that indicate these scriptures no longer apply.
 
John 16:13
13 "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.
NASU
 
Acts 8:29
29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join this chariot."
NASU
 
Acts 10:19-20
19 While Peter was reflecting on the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men are looking for you.
 
20 "But get up, go downstairs and accompany them without misgivings, for I have sent them Myself."
NASU
 
Acts 11:28
28 One of them named Agabus stood up and began to indicate by the Spirit that there would certainly be a great famine all over the world. And this took place in the reign of Claudius.
NASU
 
Acts 16:6-7
6 They passed through the Phrygian and Galatian region, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
 
7 and after they came to Mysia, they were trying to go into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them;
NASU
 
Rom 2:29-3:1
29 But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.
NASU
 
Rom 7:6
6 But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.
NASU
 
Rom 8:3-8
3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,
 
4 so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
 
5 For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
 
6 For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,
 
7 because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so,
 
8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
NASU
 
Rom 8:14
14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
NASU
 
1 Cor 2:10-15
10 For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
 
11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.
 
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God,
 
13 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
 
14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.
 
15 But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one.
NASU
 
Gal 3:2-3
2 This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?
 
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?
NASU
 
Gal 5:16-18
16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.
 
17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.
 
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
NASU
 
2 Peter 1:20-21
20 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,
 
21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
NASU
