Hoping that I'm staying on topic I would like to pose a question. Tonight during our Wednesday night Bible study we looked at Hebrews 11:1-16 regarding faith. The direction that was taken was that of faith in God and how God may be leading us by faith in certain areas of our lives i.e. decisions, work, ministry etc.

I guess I'm looking for a proper exegesis here...would you personally apply the text this way? If not, how so (I do have my own thoughts regarding this issue)? Also, I do believe that the Scriptures provide all that we need regarding personal matters but when we're speaking about specifics (ex. should I take this job, move to this city etc.) how do we determine when we are being led by the Spirit. It just seems that in reading the responses in this thread we are to avoid such "impressions" or "leadings" or is the focus more on being "so called" led to certain doctrinal beliefs in which we find many who have fallen into error as a result of their false impressions attributed to the Holy Spirit.

Am I making sense? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />
