Spectacular Leadings

A spectacular leading of the Spirit may not be what you REALLY want.
As a believer, the Holy Spirit lives on the inside of you. He doesn’t need to use outward sources to lead you, but sometimes He does. These outward sources (e.g. prophetic words, the “voice” of the Lord, etc.) are what I term “spectacular” leadings… something out of the ordinary and special. We generally like “special” experiences, and I used to hunger for these “spectacular” leadings from the Lord.
Through the years I’ve come to realize “spectacular” leadings of the Spirit tend to precede times of trouble or difficulty, time when you’ll be glad you have something out of the ordinary to hold on to.
Personally, after some of the experiences I’ve had, I’ve begun to shy away from such leadings. I’d rather learn how to follow the quiet (unspectacular) leadings of the Lord. Those leadings have become more precious to me… particularly in light of what’s in store for me when I receive the “spectacular”.
Don’t know if that makes sense to you… It does to me.
