In November of 2007, Rachel, the girls, and I attended a missionary retreat in Rothenburg, Germany. It was our last Thanksgiving in Romania as missionaries and we decided we would spend the money and make the effort to attend this retreat. We drove across the country of Romania (where we met up with some Romanian Christians who were also going) and then into Hungary. We took the autobahn across Hungary, into Austria, and then into Germany.
We had an enjoyable 4 days there and then headed back home. We got off the autobahn onto a European highway in Budapest, Hungary. It was there that we got lost. We drove around in the city of Budapest for three hours! We stopped three times to ask for directions but either our Romanian brothers could not understand the Hungarian or the Hungarians did not know how to give directions.
Finally, at the last stop, a taxi driver overheard our Romanian brother asking for directions, and he told our driver if we would follow him, he would get us to the highway where we needed to be. We followed him and he lead us correctly and we finally arrived home, extremely late but safe.
If you and I are going to make it to heaven, we’ve got to have help. We must have directions. “It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps,” the prophet Jeremiah tells his audience in Jeremiah 10:23.
There are three points I want to make: 1.) There is no way we can know what God wants out of us unless the Holy Spirit reveals it. 2.) That revelation is in the Bible; 3.) We must, must, follow the Bible, specifically the NT as it is the covenant of Jesus Christ.

The Holy Spirit reveals God and His ways: Luke 10:22; John 14:16-17, 26; 15:26-27; 16:7-13.
The Holy Spirit’s revelation is the Bible: 1 Corinthians 2:10-13; Ephesians 3:1-6.
We must follow the Holy Spirit’s message in the NT: Romans 8:12-17; Ephesians 4:30; 1 Thessalonians 5:19. John will emphasize this in the book of revelation when, at the end of all seven letters in Revelation 2-3, John says, “If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear what the Holy Spirit says to the churches.”
We can’t know the mind of God unless the Spirit reveals it. Let us focus on the Spirit’s message in the Gospel of Christ and follow His lead.
