I want to share this from Kenneth E. Hagin's Faith Food for today!
Howbeit when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come ... He will show you things to come. - John 16:13
A minister friend of mine had three serious automobile accidents in less than ten years. People were killed in these accidents. His wife was almost killed, and the minister himself was seriously injured. Both he and his wife were healed by the hand of God. When he heard me teaching along these lines of listening to your spirit, the inward witness, he said, "Brother Hagin, every one of those accidents could have been avoided if I had listened to that inward intuition."
Yet people will argue, "I just don't know why those accidents happened to a good Christian. He's a preacher."
Well, he had to learn to listen to his spirit just like you have to learn to listen to yours. People want to blame God and say that God did these things. But as this preacher told me, "If I had listened to the inward intuition I had that something was about to happen, I would have waited and prayed. Instead, I said, 'I'm busy. I don't have time to pray.' "
Many times, if we had waited on God when we had that inward witness, God would have shown us things, and we could have avoided problems. But let's not moan and groan about our past failures. Let's take advantage of our present opportunities, and make sure that we follow our inward witness in the future.
AMEN! There is really no short cut for being led by the Spirit of God! Remember that Jesus said of Him in John 16:13:
13 But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future].

HE is Omniscient (all-knowing)! He knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10) and He knows everything you will ever face! Spend time in His presence so that you, too, can be forewarned and prepared at all times! Here is "Oceans - Where Feet May Fail" by Hillsong United:
Shalom in Him!
