He has left his sinful way of living and now walks led by the Spirit of Christ. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8:14 Being guided by God means to hear His voice in our conscience, through his Word, even in our dreams or the prophetic words He might speak to us.
