We join with you in this heartfelt cry for the Holy Spirit to speak clearly to you, to your wife, to your children, to your pastors, to your churches, to your leaders and to all your prayer and financial partners and their families, and we thank God for your hunger to hear from Him and to be led by Him in every area of life.

We love your desire that God would use every biblical means to make His will known, and we agree that God is still able to guide His people powerfully. We are reminded that where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory, Proverbs 11:14, and that your sheep hear His voice and He knows them and they follow Him, John 10:27, and that as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God, Romans 8:14. We also rejoice that you look first to the Word of God rather than the noise of the world, for we are told to turn to the law and to the testimony and if they do not speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them, Isaiah 8:20, and that all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work, 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

We want to gently encourage you with biblical balance as you seek dreams, visions, prophecy, signs in the heavens and other extraordinary leadings. We believe God has spoken in these ways in Scripture, as with Joseph in Matthew 1:20, the magi in Matthew 2:12, and as promised that your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions, Acts 2:17, and that God does speak in a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, Job 33:15. Yet we are also taught that God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, Hebrews 1:1-2, and that the final authority and test for every message, every impression, every dream and every counsel must be the written Word of God, and that we should not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, 1 John 4:1. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path, Psalm 119:105, and the Holy Spirit will never lead contrary to Scripture, for when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, John 16:13. So we encourage you to cherish the Bible as the supreme and sufficient voice of God, and to weigh every other means, whether a message from the pulpit, godly counsel, a divine appointment, or a governmental authority which is ordained by God, Romans 13:1, against that perfect standard.

We also affirm your commitment to marriage and family as you pray for your spouse and children. We pray that your marriage will continue to reflect Christ and the church, and that you and your wife will grow together in holiness and unity as you seek His will together.

We pray together now for you and all those you have named.

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, we come before Your throne of grace with humble confidence. We thank You that You are able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through Him, seeing He ever lives to make intercession for us, Hebrews 7:25, and that nothing shall be impossible with God, Luke 1:37. We ask that You would speak clearly to this husband and his wife, to their children, to their pastors, to their churches, to their friends and partners and to our leaders in government. Speak to us first and most clearly through Your holy Word, open our eyes to behold wondrous things out of Your law, and give us ears to hear what the Spirit says. Grant us wise and godly counsel and surround us with counselors who fear You and speak truth. Lead us by Your Holy Spirit in every decision and keep us from leaning on our own understanding, Proverbs 3:5-6.

Lord, if it pleases You to give dreams or visions or other confirmations of Your will, we ask that You would do so only in a way that aligns perfectly with Scripture and that exalts Jesus Christ, and give us discernment to test all things and hold fast to what is good, 1 Thessalonians 5:21. Keep us from deception, from false prophecy, from lying wonders and from the evil one, for You are faithful, who will establish us and guard us from the evil one, 2 Thessalonians 3:3. Protect our minds from the pollution of the world and the love of the world, 1 John 2:15, and set our affections on things above. We ask for Your incomprehensible peace as we make our requests known to You with thanksgiving, and we claim Your promise that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and our thoughts in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:6-7.

We pray for our churches and pastors that they would preach Your Word faithfully, for faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ, Romans 10:17, and that they would shepherd with wisdom. We pray for our government leaders that they would be ministers of God for good, Romans 13:4, and that You would grant them to govern justly and to restrain evil. Keep us all from temptation, deliver us from evil, Matthew 6:13, and teach us to discern the signs of the times with wisdom like the children of Issachar, who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, 1 Chronicles 12:32, yet always trusting not in signs but in Your sure Word.

We thank You in advance, believing that whatever we ask in prayer, believing, we will receive, Mark 11:24, for without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to Him, Hebrews 11:6, and we trust that all Your promises find their Yes in Christ, 2 Corinthians 1:20. Let Your will be done in our lives and families as it is in heaven, and let Your light shine so that darkness cannot overcome it, John 1:5. We ask all this in the mighty and only saving name of Jesus Christ our Lord, who alone is the way, the truth and the life, John 14:6, Amen.

We hear your heart in this prayer, a deep longing for the Lord to make His will clear for you and for her, and for your spouses, children, pastors, churches, leaders and partners. Wanting to hear Him well and to walk in step with Him is a good desire, and we join you in bringing it to Him.

We love that you named so many ordinary ways God guides, His Word, preaching, prayer, the counsel of wise believers, and the quiet leading of the Holy Spirit in daily life. In our experience His guidance often comes most clearly that way, steady and consistent, rather than in dramatic moments. The Spirit is our Helper and Counselor, and He loves to lead us into truth in a way that brings peace and Christlike character, not confusion or pressure. That is why it helps to weigh any impression, dream, or sense of direction alongside what Scripture says and with a couple of trusted, mature believers who know you well.

One simple next step that may help is to keep praying together about one specific decision or concern at a time, and invite a pastor or godly counselor you both trust to listen and pray with you as you seek clarity.

Father, we thank You that You are near and that You hear when we call on You through Jesus. We ask You to give this dear brother and his loved ones wisdom, protection from deception and fear, and a settled peace as they seek You. Draw each family and church closer to You and guide their steps according to Your good will. In Jesus' name, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer that the Lord would speak and keep you and yours is heard, and there is much in it to commend, for you look to His Word rather than to the noise and pollution of the world, and you rest upon this, that He is able to save forever those who come to God through Jesus, because He lives to make intercession for us.

I would have you consider what the Holy Spirit does when He does speak. He will receive of Mine and show it to you. The whole blessed Godhead must work upon every soul that is to be saved, and the work of the Holy Spirit is to deal with the things of Christ and to glorify Christ. He does not come to magnify outward rites, nor to extol mere doctrine apart from the Saviour, nor to lead us gadding about after science or politics or signs for their own sake. When you are dealing with the things of Christ you are on Holy Spirit ground and you follow the track of the Holy Spirit. Therefore try every impression, every counsel, every dream and every vision by this test, does it glorify the Lord Jesus and does it agree with the Holy Bible. The surest voice of the Spirit is still the Word which He inspired, and the faithful message from the pulpit when Christ is lifted up, and the godly counsel which is according to that Word.

Remember also with what tenderness we must treat this blessed Guest. The little narrow heart of man the Holy Spirit has made His palace. Though it is but a cottage, a very hovel, and all unholy and unclean, yet does the Holy Spirit condescend to make the heart of His people His continual abode. And is it not a tender and touching thing that we should be charged, grieve not the Holy Spirit. He is grieved by our unbelief and by unholiness of life, when men walk not according to the Gospel. There can be no concord between God and Belial, and it is the nature of a holy being to be vexed with unholiness. If you have the Holy Spirit, that is God's seal set upon you that you are His child. Do not vex Him, do not cause Him to mourn, but yield to Him, worship Him and confide in Him, for He is not an influence or an it, but a Person to be adored.

You ask whether you have received the Holy Spirit since you believed. This is a point of utmost importance. The Holy Spirit is the Author of all spiritual life. Until He visits us we are dead in trespasses and sins, and no man was ever saved by the means of grace apart from the Holy Spirit. A holy man is the workmanship of the Holy Spirit. How can any man become holy except by the Spirit of Holiness, and how can a man pray without His assistance. That prayer which is not in the Holy Spirit is in the flesh. To pray in the Holy Spirit is to pray by the Holy Spirit and through the Holy Spirit, in His power, with His help telling us how to pray. There is no rubric except one, in the Holy Spirit. That granted, nothing else matters one whit.

Therefore hear what the Holy Spirit says today, for He still says, Today if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts. He bids His people make haste and delay not to keep the commands of God. When He stirs us to seek the salvation of men, or when He awakens the conscience, His word is Today. Do not put off the hearing of Christ. Only when the Holy Spirit comes is there any life and force and power, and we are entirely dependent upon Him.

I will pray with you as you have asked, yet according to the will of God revealed in Scripture. May the Lord keep you, her of whom you speak, your spouses, your children, your friends, your pastors, your churches, and those who labour and give with you, and your leaders, from temptation, sin, evil, wrongdoing, lies, fear and deception, and from the evil one. May He grant to each of you repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, for there is salvation through Him alone. May He guard your marriages and cause them to be lived as He ordained from the beginning, a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and may all that belongs to that covenant be kept within it in purity, and may your homes be ordered in holiness. May He give you that incomprehensible peace which is promised to those who with thanksgiving let their requests be made known unto God. May He cause you to walk in the light which darkness cannot overcome, trusting that with God nothing shall be impossible, and that no purpose of His can be thwarted.

Cry mightily unto God for the Holy Spirit, confess your dependence upon Him before you preach or hear or counsel or decide, and ask Him to take of the things of Christ and show them unto you. So shall you not be left to hopeless folly, but be taught and kept and made fruitful, to the glory of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
