'For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die:
but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear;
but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.'
(Romans 8:13-15)
Hello @DoveSpirit05,
Looking up the words in Scripture, referring to being led by the spirit of God, I saw the one above from Romans 8, which should be read with Romans 6:11-13, in order to understand the wording, '... mortify the deeds of the body ... ', which is to be understood as, 'reckon as dead'.
'Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin,
but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin:
but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead,
and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.'
(Romans 6:11-13)
* These verses show that your question to me:- 'are you led by the Spirit', requires so much more thought, than a mere 'yes' or 'no', doesn't it? I do, by the Spirit, reckon myself to be dead indeed unto sin, which has set me free mentally to live unto God, as one whom, in Christ, is one who is, 'approved unto God' (2 Timothy 2:15). Which requires that I live accordingly; in joyfulness, praise and thanksgiving for His wondrous mercy and grace, which has so engraced me. (Ephesians 1)
Praise His Holy Name!
In Christ Jesus
Chris

Acts 1:8 King James Version (KJV)

Mark 16:17-18 King James Version (KJV)
16 He that believeth and is baptized (and receives the holy spirit) shall be saved;
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover
do you show any of these signs?
