Led by the Spirit, Step by Step

Have you ever felt God nudging you to do something… but it didn’t really make sense at the time?

Philip’s story gets even more incredible. After his revival in Samaria, the Holy Spirit tells him to go to a desert road, with no clear reason why. No crowd, no stage, just sand and heat.

But Philip goes. And there, he meets a man from Ethiopia, reading Isaiah but not understanding it. Philip walks beside him, explains the good news of Jesus, and the man is baptised right there on the side of the road.

This wasn’t a plan Philip could have written for himself, but God knew. Spirit-led evangelism often looks like this: simple obedience, one step at a time.

Philip didn’t need the whole picture; he just needed to be led by the Spirit. And the impact? That Ethiopian official likely carried the gospel back to his home nation.

You might not know where your “yes” will lead. You might feel unsure, even nervous. But when you’re listening to the Holy Spirit, you can trust the steps he asks you to take, even if it leads you through a desert.

Take a moment today to ask, “Holy Spirit, where are You leading me?” Then be brave enough to take that step, even if it’s just starting a conversation or offering prayer.
