Proverbs 20*27, "The spirit of man is the
candle of the Lord.... "
Romans 8:16, "The Spirit itself beareth wit-
ness with our spirit, that we are the children of
God."
Romans 8:14, "For as many as are led by
the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."
God guides us through our spirit. Understand
that Jesus said, "God is a Spirit." He does not
communicate with us through our physical being.
He does not communicate with us through our
mind. He communicates with us through our
spirit. It is the spirit of man that contacts God,
and God contacts us through our spirit.
"The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord"
means that God uses man's own spirit to enlighten
him or guide him, or direct him. So as children
of God, first of all, the Holy Spirit—God's Spirit,
the Spirit Himself—bears witness with our spirit
that we are the children of God. He leads and
guides us first of all through the "inward
witness.
