Freedom of Obeying

Freedom comes when we love God above everything else. Have you ever disobeyed the Holy Spirit? It is terrible the feeling that comes when you do that.
When you have felt that, because you love God and when you are separated from Him you suffer, you never want to feel that again.
That's a vaccine. No matter how much it may hurt to give up, to obey God, it is nothing compared to the horrible feeling of disobeying Him.
We need to learn to differenciate this from religiosity. And when we know the difference to be radically obedient. THis is how we can be guided by the Spirit.
When we are guided by Him, we know Him more.
