Unclouded Directions and Decisions
David Wilkerson (1931-2011)
June 8, 2022
God’s purpose for every one of his children is that we surrender to the reign and rulership of the Holy Spirit. “Those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:24-25, NKJV). In other words, “If he lives in you, let him direct you!”
I want to show you what it means to walk in the Spirit. I have not yet fully arrived in this glorious walk, but I am gaining ground. We have heard the expression “walk in the Spirit” all our lives, but what does it really mean? I believe the book of Acts offers some of the best examples of what it means to walk in the Holy Spirit.
“After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. …And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us.’ Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them” (Acts 16:7-10, NKJV).
The early Christians did not walk in confusion. They were led by the Spirit in every decision, every move, every action. The Spirit talked to them and directed them in their every waking hour. No decision was made without consulting the Lord. Christ said over and over throughout the New Testament “He who has ears to hear, let him hear” (Matthew 11:15).
I began ministering in New York City because the Holy Ghost told me very clearly, “Go to New York City and raise up a church.” He told me when to come. No devil or demon could move me from this because the Spirit gave detailed instructions. I remember standing between Broadway and Seventh Avenue, weeping and raising my hands. The Holy Ghost said, “In this very area I am going to raise up a church. Obey me, David. Start a church in New York City!” Times Square Church is not an accident. It is the result of clear, detailed instructions from the Holy Spirit!
The Holy Ghost provides absolute, clearly detailed instructions to those who walk in him. If you walk in the Spirit, you don’t walk in confusion; your decisions are unclouded ones.
