In this teaching, we looked at what it truly means to be led by the Spirit of God - not by emotion, pressure, or personal revelation detached from Scripture. In a time when many claim to be “Spirit-led,” we returned to the biblical foundations that guard us from deception and keep us anchored in Messiah.

I presented my points in testimony, but I would like to share the notes I prepared, even though I did not follow them. There are three essential principles I would like you to grasp:

The Spirit Leads in Alignment With God’s Word

The Holy Spirit never contradicts what God has already spoken. Being Spirit-led does not mean independence from Scripture—it means illumination of Scripture. Any “leading” that bypasses the cross, contradicts the Word, or elevates personal revelation above biblical truth is not from God.

The Spirit Always Glorifies Yeshua

The primary work of the Spirit is to exalt Messiah. The Spirit does not draw attention to spiritual status, prophetic identity, or supernatural experiences. He centers everything on the lordship, character, and kingdom of Yeshua. When a leading magnifies ego, experience, or signs over obedience and holiness, it has drifted from the Spirit’s purpose.

The Spirit Leads Through Sonship, Not Fear

The Spirit leads sons and daughters, not slaves. His leading produces peace, clarity, and conviction, not panic, manipulation, guilt, or pressure. Fear-based control and religious coercion are not tools of the Spirit; they belong to religion, not relationship.

Here Is A Practical Key to Being Spirit-Led

Slow down enough to test what you’re hearing. Ask:

1. Does this align with Scripture?
2. Does this glorify Yeshua?
3. Does this lead me in peace as a son or daughter, not fear as a servant?

The Spirit leads through relationship, not intimidation.

Summary:

To be led by the Spirit is to walk in alignment with the Word, submission to Messiah, and confidence as sons and daughters, never driven by fear, ego, or religious pressure.

Hearing Clearance - Learning to Recognize His Voice

Last night during our Zoom gathering, the testimonies all circled around one clear theme: God still speaks, and His people still hear. What stood out was not spiritual drama, but quiet confidence, not performance, but relationship.

I’ve included a short YouTube clip from the opening moments of the meeting, recorded during the preparation time before I invited others to share. Because this is a private Zoom gathering, we don’t publish the entire meeting, but you can stay connected and receive updates through Crossing Point Global Community, our prayer-focused Facebook group.

If you’re not part of the group, I’d love to invite you to join us. We meet every Sunday on Zoom, and the weekly login details are sent via our e-news platform.

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.”

John 10:27

The Real Struggle Is Not Belief, It Is Hearing

Most believers don’t struggle with whether God exists.

They struggle with whether He speaks personally and presently.

Many believe about God.

Fewer expect to hear Him.

Yet throughout Scripture, God’s people are defined not by information, but by responsiveness. Faith doesn’t begin with action; it starts with hearing. Obedience is not performance; it is response.

The crisis today is not a lack of teaching.

It is a lack of attentiveness.

Hearing Is Relational, Not Guesswork

Hearing God is not strange, elite, or reserved for prophets.

It is the normal function of a believer in Yeshua.

Yeshua didn’t say, “My sheep learn techniques.”

He said, “My sheep hear My voice.”

Hearing is not something we force.

It is something we cultivate through trust and proximity.

A Simple Illustration

When Hayley lost her lens from her glasses, there was no panic.

I paused and asked the Holy Spirit.

The answer came simply: “It’s in the dog, Joey’s bed.”

And it was.

This wasn’t intuition or guesswork, it was relationship.

God does not shout to prove He is present.

He speaks because He is near.

Scripture Shows the Pattern

1. Samuel heard God before he recognized Him. The issue wasn’t silence, it was clarity.
2. Abraham obeyed without explanation. Direction came before understanding.
3. Ananias heard a command that contradicted fear, and history changed because he obeyed.

When God’s voice is ignored, Scripture is equally clear:

1. Saul heard but obeyed selectively and lost the kingdom.
2. Jonah heard clearly, resisted and suffered delay.
3. Israel chose louder voices over God’s and wandered for forty years.

Hearing is not optional.

It shapes destiny.

Why Many Struggle Today

Not because God stopped speaking, but because:

1. We confuse activity with intimacy
2. We fill silence with noise
3. We...

Hanukkah is often misunderstood as a festival about tradition, miracles, or folklore - but its true power lies in dedication, covenant faithfulness, and the restoration of God’s dwelling.

In this short overview, we look beyond later myths and return to the biblical and historical foundations of Hanukkah, showing how it connects directly to Sukkot, the Maccabean struggle, and ultimately to Yeshua the Messiah.

Hanukkah did not originate as a commanded feast in Leviticus 23. It emerged during a time when Sukkot could not be celebrated because the Temple had been desecrated under Antiochus Epiphanes. After the Maccabean victory, the Temple was cleansed, pagan worship removed, and true worship restored.The dedication of the Temple was then celebrated in the pattern of Sukkot, with rejoicing and thanksgiving.

This historical context gives powerful meaning to John 10:22–23, where Yeshua stands in the Temple during the Feast of Dedication and reveals His divine identity.

In this overview, you’ll discover:

Why Hanukkah is connected to Sukkot—and why it is not a replacement for it

How the Maccabean stand was about covenant faithfulness, not culture or politics

What the cleansing and rededication of the Temple points to in the New Covenant

Why Yeshua identifies Himself as the true dwelling place of God How Hanukkah ultimately calls us to wholehearted dedication to Messiah

This Overview keeps Messiah at the center, rejects extra-biblical mythology, and shows Hanukkah in Scripture, history, and the changes that come in Yeshua.

The Light is in the Son.
