To be consciously led by the Holy Spirit isn't easy. It takes time and spiritual maturity. Most of the time we follow Biblical principles (Proverbs 4:11). If the Bible says something is wrong, we avoid it. All that we need to follow Christ, including holiness, life and liberty are penned in the Bible (2 Timothy 3:16). Following Christ based on a profound spiritual intimacy that allows the Lord to confide in us (Psalm 25:14) requires spiritual maturity. Proverbs is a good place to start for sound, practical, and Biblical wisdom. Peace in Christ.
