Is it really the holy spirit

 Being  nice, gentle, kind, showing love to people can still be disobedience to  God. How? Because we are acting out in the flesh. Because it might not  be God’s timing, God’s ways or God’s words that we are speaking. 

We must discern the difference between hearing from the Holy Spirit and  satan/a demon. Most people have no idea how many thoughts or “feelings”  they get that seems like the right thing to do are not from the Holy  Spirit but from satan/demon.  

Satan doesn’t mind you doing  “nice” things as long as you are going against God’s timing, God’s way,  God’s words. While you might get a nice warm feeling  insdie by doing  something nice for someone, or showing someone love, your actions or  words  or timing could be going against God’s will which is disobedience  and do more harm than good.

In the Bible, Jesus was telling His  disciples that He must go and be killed so He can be raised on the third  day. But Peter acted out in the flesh and tried to talk Jesus out of  it. This might seem like a normal reaction from Peter, but it was  disobedience to God, he was NOT listening to God, but to satan and   interfering in God’s plan for Jesus to be the world’s Savior. Peter was  listening to satan and not God.

Matthew 16:21-23 (NKJV) says:
“From  that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to  Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and  scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.
22 Then Peter  took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You,  Lord; this shall not happen to You!” 23 But He turned and said to Peter,  “Get behind Me, Satan! You are [j]an offense to Me, for you are not  mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

In another  example, Peter took his sword and cut off the ear of one of the high  priest’s servant’s when then came to take Jesus and Jesus had to correct  Peter. Again Peter was listening to satan and not God.
In John  18:1-11 Jesus goes into the Garden Gethsemane with his disciples.  Then  Judas came with an army of troops to take Jesus. Peter took out his  sword and cut off the ear of the high priest's servant.
Then Jesus corrected him saying do not interfere with God's will.

Consider Moses with the Israelites backed up to the Red Sear, suppose  Moses, decided to act out in the flesh and rally the Israelites to fight  the Egyptian army?  Moses would have denied God from being God and  miraculously parting the Red Sea by Moses raising his staff. If Moses  acted out in the flesh in disobedience and sin, he would have cheated  God out of showing the Israelites his power and He was truly the King of  Kings.

Joshua faced a formidable wall around the city of Jericho  and trying to penetrate it could have cause a lot of deaths to the  Israelites. Rather than acting out in the flesh, and doing what “seemed”  like the logical thing to do, Joshua trusted God. God told Joshua to  march around the city of Jericho for 7 days and then blow their horns  and yell on the 7th day and the walls of Jericho came down. 

There are times when God told His people to take action to prove His miraculous ways
God doesn’t always want us to just sit back and do nothing. That is  where listening to the Holy Spirit is absolutely crucial to your  obedience and life.

For example in Judges 6 and 7 it explains the  Midianites were stealing and destroying the Israelites source of food  and leaving them impoverished.
An Angel of the Lord came to Gideon  and told him to fight the Midianites. But Gideon wanted to test the  Spirit to make sure He was from God.  God told Gideon his army was to  big and when they won, they would be tempted to take credit for the  victory themselves. So 22,000 who were afraid left the area and 10,000  men remained and then was reduced to only 300 men. So there would be no  question that the victory was because of God. God directed them to take a  pot, torch and horn and surround the Midianites camp. They all blew  their horns at one time and the Midianites started to kill each other  and ran from their camp in fear.  

If Gideon would have acted out  in his flesh with over 30,000 men to fight the Midianites, God would  not have been able to be God and show His miraculous power. 

We  are stopping God from moving today. We are being taught to look for  opportunities to be nice, show someone love, kind, gentle, etc. This is  disobedience to God. We are being taught to emulate, try to duplicate  the fruit of the Spirit in the flesh and that is a sin.

We have  to learn to rebuke and walk away from the seminar leaders and pastors  that focus on trying to get you to just do something. 

Being  taught to ask the Holy Spirit for opportunities to be nice, kind or show  love is wrong. You should be taught to draw closer to the Holy Spirit  so you can DISCERN the difference between the Spirit of God and satan  and your own flesh. ONLY then can you know for sure that you are obeying  the Holy Spirit

It is far more important to draw close to God so  we can hear and discern His Spirit rather than acting out in the flesh  and possibly being disobedient to God and interfering in His plans.
