Divine Guidance | Episode 17 | Circumstantial Evidence

Duane Sheriff Ministries - Messages

In the seventeenth episode of "Divine Guidance," Duane Sherif teaches how circumstantial evidence is a secondary witness to God's leading. While the Holy Spirit primarily leads us, God often uses our circumstances to confirm His will and direction. We should consider them as supporting evidence that the Holy Spirit is already communicating to us internally.

Using the example of the prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 17, God used circumstances to guide Elijah's steps. When the brook Cherith dried up, it was a sign for Elijah to prepare for change. However, Elijah didn't move until he heard directly from God to go to Zarephath, demonstrating the balance between circumstantial evidence and direct divine instruction.

Believers should be attentive to the Holy Spirit's internal leading and the external circumstances that God may use. When we truly follow God's will, there will often be supernatural manifestations in our circumstances, such as provision, open doors, or miraculous events. This balanced approach helps believers to discern God's guidance more effectively in their daily lives.
