Summary
Pastor Mark Turman was so encouraged by Dr. Denison's book about the Holy Spirit, titled Empowered, that he asked to record its 47 chapters as daily readings for his church.
When Dr. Denison heard about this, he suggested the great idea to release these recordings as bonus episodes of The Daily Article Podcast every day from Ash Wednesday to Easter.
We hope that you will likewise be encouraged by these short, insightful, and empowering podcast episodes.

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to a bonus episode of the Daily Article podcast, presented by the Denison |
| 0:07.6 | Forum. Empowered, Day 16. The Spirit leads. The question I am asked more frequently than any other |
| 0:16.1 | is this. How can I know the will of God for my life? Let's begin with the fact that God does have a perfect plan for you. |
| 0:23.6 | He promised the Jewish exiles in Babylon, |
| 0:25.6 | I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, |
| 0:28.6 | plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope, |
| 0:33.6 | Jeremiah 29-11. |
| 0:35.6 | Romans 12 2 calls God's will good, pleasing, and perfect. So how can we know his will? |
| 0:43.0 | Scripture teaches that God reveals his plans to us through the Spirit, 1 Corinthians 2.10. |
| 0:49.2 | The Holy Spirit led Jesus throughout his earthly ministry, Luke 4.1. He led Peter, Acts 1019, and Paul, Acts 16, 6 and 7. |
| 0:59.3 | John was in the Spirit when he received the Revelation, 1110. He leads all who are the children of God, |
| 1:07.5 | Romans 814. He leads us rationally through the scriptures he inspired, 2 Peter |
| 1:13.7 | 121. He leads us practically through circumstances and events. He leads us relationally through |
| 1:20.6 | other people. He leads us intuitively as the Spirit himself bears witness with our Spirit, Romans 816. In these ways, |
| 1:30.3 | the Spirit will guide you into all the truth, John 1613. But know that God's will is more |
| 1:40.1 | about the present than the future. No one in Scripture received a five-year plan. |
| 1:46.0 | Today is the only day that exists. God's will is like a flashlight, showing the next step |
| 1:54.0 | you should take. Seek to be in His will today, and you'll be ready to follow His will tomorrow. The Holy Spirit wants us to know the |
| 2:03.3 | perfect will of our Father even more than we want to know it. So surrender to his plan and you |
| 2:10.4 | will know what you need to know in order to fulfill it. Write God a blank check and trust him to fill in the right amount. Submit to him |
| 2:19.9 | so that he can lead you in his best will for your life, and he will. Ignatius of Loyola |
