J ust for example, just suppose you are trying to married to this person, but this person is not compatible to you, and the Holy Spirit is trying to warn you of the danger, how does he communicate his message to you and how can you know for sure? The greatest problem of Christians is that we make bad decisions, and this bad decisions came about because we have not learn to master communication with the Holy Spirit, so he can inform us when we are walking into a death trap. There are several group of believers in the church, we have the carnal are immature believers, then we have the false believers, the bible call these false brethren, and we have the deceived believers. Finally we have the mature believers the bible call these the spiritual man. There are people who claimed to be fill with the holy spirit but are actually being possess with satanic spirits. It is only the Holy Spirit know who are his.
Little before our lord’s crucifixions, he begin to tell his disciples about his coming emulations. He also told them that he would sent the Holy Spirit to be their teachers and guide. So each believer is assigned a new guide and councilors here on earth and that is the Holy Spirit who came and fills the body of Christ here on earth the church. The problem is, due to the wickedness of sin and the foolishness of our hearts, we came up with our own version of what and who the holy spirits are. We reach the places where we sin even against the Holy Spirit and do not know. In this article I will only deal with how to know when the Holy Spirit is talking to you as a person. As to the personality of the Holy Spirit, his gifts, the evidence of being fill, and all the other goodies I will not deal with in this article.
CHRIST TURN US OVER TO THE KEEPING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
John 16:13 (KJV) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
John 14:26 (KJV) But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (helper (parakletos-Greek)
We refer to the Holy Spirit as Holy Spirit but truly Holy Spirit is not his name. We call him Holy Ghost, Spirit of God, Holy Spirit, The spirit. But none of those is his name. However we know he is a person because personal pronouns are use toward him over and over again.

HOW TO KNOW WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS TALAKING TO YOU.
The Holy Spirit communicates to the believer spirit man, not to your body, but you hear his voice in your spirit.
Ephes. 3:16 (KJV) That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
WHAT IS THE NEW MAN THE EPH 3:16 TALKING ABOUT?
Proverbs 25:28 (KJV) He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
Ezekiel 13:3 (KJV) Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
According to Prov 25:28 Every person was born with a sprit, a soul and a body. When the person is converted the Holy Spirit clean up that human spirit that the person was born with. This clean up spirit is call the new man, and before the spirit was clean up it was call the old man.
1 Thes. 5:23 (KJV) And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Genesis 35:18 (KJV) And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin.
Job 14:22 (KJV) But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.

Job 14:22 (KJV) But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
Job 14:22 (KJV) But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
THE OLD MAN = YOU SOUL AND SPIRIT BEFORE YOU WERE CONVERTED.
Ephes. 4:22 (KJV) That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
Col. 3:9 (KJV) Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
Ephes. 5:9 (KJV) (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
Ephes. 5:9 (KJV) (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
THE HOLY SPIRIT WITNESS TO YOUR SPIRIT.
Romans 8:16 (KJV) The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
1 John 5:10 (KJV) He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. Guides Into All Truth John 16:13 Acts 8:39
THE HOLY SPIRIT CREATE A DOUBT SYSTEM IN EACH BELIVERS.
Doubt is not all bad. Doubt is a noun a feeling of uncertainty. (Verb 1 feels uncertain about.) Doubt is only bad when it questions what it knows to be the truth. Police call this “an hunch” This is just the first stage when learning to fallow the leading of the Spirit, as times goes by you will hear his voice but in your spirit and not in your body. Not in your head as some people hears voice in their head telling them to go rape or go kill. Not in your stomach as voices coming from any part of your body. No spirit must be in your body except the spirit, which you were born with, what we call the old man, or human spirit. “ Fill with the spirit is and idiom” and does not mean that the Holy Spirit Himself come and physically live in you foot in your foot and hand in you hands, or like a bay live in a pregnant woman. It is you that go into him, “for in him we live and move and have our beings” Be careful how you interprets those fall upon and filled scriptures.
Christians call this the wooing of the spirit. Just for example, you are trying to married to this person, but this person is not compatible to you, the holy spirit is trying to warn you of the danger, how does he communicate his message to you and how can you know for sure? The Holy Sprit will create a doubt in your spirit. You know deep down in you that something is just not right here. This is where covetous, prejudice and racist Christians went off course. Because these emotions has a way to triggers off the doubt systems.
Acts 10:19-20 (KJV) While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. [20] Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
Acts 16:6 (KJV)
Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,

THE HOLY SPIRIT USES CIRCUMSTANCES TO GUIDE HIS PEOPLE.
I found out that when people do not want me around it was always the Holy Spirit ways of telling me to get ready to leave, start packing up. Some people are always skeptical of me the first day they saw me, but as the weeks goes by they drop their guard, and start treating me good. But when I have exhausted all my efforts and the people still remain adamant, it was always the Holy Spirit uses that circumstances to show me that I am not in his will by being among these people. When a believer is in the will of God, even your enemy comes around. If you cannot win your mother in law or in laws over, this could be that you are out of God’s will in that marriage decisions. On my lost job the people work me like a mule and beat me verbally, defame and dehumanize me in every way they can. I quit, and resort to my part time job. The same week the part time job, pay was double, even though I put in the same amount of time. Do not read too much into Prov 16:7. Because what it is talking about is being in God’s will.
Proverbs 16:7 (ASV) When a man's ways please Jehovah,
He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
THE HOLY SPIRIT ALSO SPEAKS TO US THROUGH THE WRITTEEN WORD.

SPIRIT OF LUNANCYA ND SPIRIT OF DEPRESIONS.
Philip. 4:7 (KJV) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

The Holy Ghost Can Be SIN AGAINS.
1. Resisted (Acts 7:51)
2. Tempted (Acts 5:9)
3. Lied to (Acts 5:3-4)
4. Grieved (Ephes. 4:30)
5. Blasphemed (Matthew 12:31-32)
6. Insulted (Hebrews 6:4-6; Hebrews 10:26-29)
7. Quenched (1 Thes. 5:19)
8. Vexed (Psalm 78:40; Isaiah 63:10)
9. Quieted (Zech. 6:8)
10. Fellowshipped with (Phil. 2:1)
d [as your fathers did, so do ye] Rebellious children of rebellious parents of many generations. The Holy Spirit deals with rational souls and works upon the intellectual and moral faculties in order to enlighten, convince, and persuade. If man closes his mind to light, his will to reproof, his conscience to righteousness, and his emotions to his best good, then he reverts to total rebellion and must face the harvest of eternal hardness.
PROTECTING YOURSELF FROM BEING SPOILED BY MAN:
Col. 2:8 (KJV)Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Hebrews 13:9 (KJV) Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
Seven Ways that People Can Spoil Christians:
1. Through philosophy (Col. 2:8)
2. Through vain deceit (Col. 2:4,8,18-19)
3. Through human traditions (Col. 2:8)
4. Through human religion and world principles contrary to the gospel (Col. 2:8,14-23; note, §Galatians 4:3)
5. Through circumcision (Col. 2:11-13; Acts 15:1; Romans 4:9-16; Galatians 5:1-11)
6. Through the law of Moses, demanding observance of the laws on meats, drinks, holy days, new moons, feasts, and sabbaths (Col. 2:14-17)
7. Through cults that puff up and imitate the gospel (Col. 2:18-23)
By all these means, unsuspecting souls are being carried off as plunder and booty by false teachers. The founders of false religions and human philosophies which pamper the flesh and give their victims elated feelings of importance make an appeal to them.
Christianity is loaded down with some false concept. Some little believe system, which are spread by false believers. One of such teaching is that you must “Look like Christians” How does Christians look? Genuine Christianity is not an external thing but of the heart and spirit.
Micah 6:8 (KJV)He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
When cults capture a newly converted Christians, the cult first job on that new believer is to close their mind. Preventing the new believer from reading any material from other churches. So that new believer will never get out of their trap.
YOUR HORMONE DOES NOT STOP WORKING WITH CHRISTIANITY:
Philip. 3:20-21 (KJV)For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: [21] Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
Romans 8:23 (KJV) And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Our bodies were not save at conversion. The work of redemption took place in your spirit man. Our body will be redeemed at the return of our lord. We are still waiting for the redemption of our body.
According to Philip 3:20-21 and Romans 8:23. You are still going to have urges. You have to present your body to the lord as a living sacrifice. Not dead one. Living sacrifice give trouble, you will have trouble keeping that body tied to the altar. However, as you and I grow in the lord what seem impossible will be quite possible.
