E. DEEPENING YOUR WALK WITH GOD / INTIMACY WITH GOD

Recently I was seeking to decide about some painful memories in my past. I thought I knew what I was to do, but I decided to create an environment in which I would make myself available to be coached by the Holy Spirit. I created some questions that I thought the Holy Spirit would want to ask me. It was extremely helpful to respond to his voice and make a decision that was filled with love and reconciliation.

Can you be coached by the Holy Spirit? I offer this plan for your consideration.

You may be thinking of an area of life that is challenging you personally, and you would like coaching in it. There are two options from my point of view. One option is to find someone who could be your coach and ask him or her to take on the job of asking the questions that will help you take action steps. On the other hand, you might let the Holy Spirit coach you.

Romans 8:14:

“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God”

FOR EXAMPLE:  Here is how the Holy Spirit might ask you a divinely directed coaching session:

Holy Spirit speaking: Good morning (insert your name). What would you like to talk about today?

Your Response: Lord, I would like to talk to you about my parenting.

Pick any area of your life and put it in the “I would like to talk about blank.

Holy Spirt speaking: Good morning ___________________. What would you like to talk about today?

Lord, I would like to talk about _____________________________________.

Continue to dig deep, be vulnerable, and delight in the flow of intimacy with the Holy Spirit.
