the deceptions of Satan.

Having determined that we will trust Christ, following after Him wherever He leads,
we must then learn to discern how He leads us. In the wilderness, God led the Israelites by

the pillar of fire and the cloud. When these moved, the whole nation of Israel would
immediately strike camp and move with them.

The child of God is likewise to be led by God. Instead of fire and a cloud, we have
God’s own Holy Spirit to guide and lead us.

Romans 8:14

For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are [mature] sons of God.

The articles in the Holy Place of the temple are symbolic of the Spirit of God. The altar
of incense and the golden candlestick indicate that if we are to progress further into the

temple, we must be led by God’s Spirit. The reason for this is that the Bride must have no
will or initiative of her own. She lives to do the will of God. In order to do so she must

discern the voice and leading of God. Yahshua is our example in this.

As the Christ, the sent one of God, Yahshua willingly became subject to God the
Father. He only did the will of the Father, never seeking His own will or acting upon His
own initiative. His complete obedience in this was perfectly demonstrated upon

Gethsemane when He told the Father, “Not My will, but Thy will be done” (Luke 22:42).

Yahshua repeatedly demonstrated to His disciples the obedience that the Father
required. He did not even speak a word on His own initiative, but spoke that which the
Father gave Him.

John 5:30
“I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just,

because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.”

John 8:28-29
Yahshua therefore said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that

I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the
Father taught Me. And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I
