How to be Led by the Holy Spirit Pt. 9

Derek Prince teaches from Romans 8:14 that spiritual maturity comes only through being continually led by the Holy Spirit, not through following religious rules. He warns that legalism - seeking righteousness by keeping rules or imposing requirements God hasn't imposed - is the most common hindrance to being led by the Spirit. Using the parable of choosing between a map (the law) and a personal guide (the Holy Spirit), he illustrates how we repeatedly try to achieve righteousness through our own efforts rather than surrendering to the Spirit's lordship.

Prince emphasizes that Christianity is primarily a relationship with Jesus through the Holy Spirit, not a set of rules. Citing Romans 3:20, Romans 6:14, and Galatians 5:18, he shows that no one achieves righteousness through law-keeping, and that being under grace rather than law is the only path to freedom from sin. He warns that returning to legalism after experiencing the Spirit's grace brings a curse, as stated in Jeremiah 17:5, and urges believers to repent of legalism and return to being led by the Holy Spirit.
