About the Book
Scriptures teaches us about, being Led by the Spirit of God. God revealed to me and taught me, that being Led by the Holy Ghost in us, is supposed to become a way of life, for every Child of God that God may lead and guided us into everything that He desires to enter us into, according to His Divine Will, for your life. However many of Gods Children, must learn this Spiritual Truth, but for the most, many of Gods Children, do not know, this Biblical Truth. Every Son and Daughter of God must learn that, you can become taught, by your Spiritual teacher, the Holy Ghost, to be Led by His Spirit, so He may lead you into the Divine, Will of God, for your life, for your Spiritual growth to be launched into Spiritual maturity, as God desires for you to grow, to learn and know many things, according to His Will. God wants to retrain our thinking, to have the mind of Christ Jesus, concerning, being taught to be Led, by the Holy Ghost, as He reveals His ministry in us, as a Child of God and that being Led by the Spirit of God, is to become a way of life, for every believer, to be Led by Gods Spirit, to walk out Gods Will, here on earth, by God giving us the leading of His Spirit, to do things, so that He may lead, us to do them, for us to walk in the Anointing of the Holy Ghost. What every believer most likely does not realize, is when God leads us to Read His Word and to go and pray, these are small little, hints, as milestones, to train us Spiritually, to teach us, to become obedient, to be Led by the Holy Ghost, to teach us to be Spirit Led and when we are obedient. We were not just faithful to Hear Gods Voice, but we were also faithful, to be Led by Gods Spirit also; it is the way that God begins to teach us, to be Led by His Spirit. God Will Lead us to do small things, before He gives us the Leadings of larger things. In Gods brilliance, He is Spiritually training us, to be Led by His Spirit so well, that we become the learned and the taught also, to become prepared for Church work or Church ministry, as God Will Anoint us to fulfill, His perfect Will, for the purpose that God has called us into service for Himself. It is not the one time of being Led by God Spirit that teaches us to be lead as the taught, it is the, many times throughout life that we are in preparation, as God can Led us to do many things, throughout our life, that we become trained, to be Led by His Spirit, as the taught. Many times through life, we are being exercised and we do not even know it. This is what God revealed unto me. As Christians, we seem to think with our natural minds, so much that we miss it, when it comes to God and things that are Spiritual and you cannot compare Spiritual things with our natural thinking, because the Bible tell us this. For everything that Christians think, is not so important, God wants you to know, that they are vital unto Him. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. Many times a Christian, thinks with their natural mind and it truly needs to be retrained, by the Spirit of God, then you Will be able to understand things that are Spiritual, more clearly, by perceiving things that are all Spiritual, with a renewed mind, as the Holy Ghost can, Spiritually teach you about many things as He begins to work, His ministry in you, by the Power of His Spirit, as you give Him your time, to develop you, as a Hearer of the Spirit. Many of Gods Children, including ministers, do not know the needed prayer life and fellowship with God, bathing in His presence, that is needed to become a Hearer of the Spirit, for Him to give you the leadings of the Spirit, as a Servant of God, that is walking in, SHEER GRACE OF GOD, to receive the leadings of the Holy Ghost, when He gives them to you, as you are faithful to be Spirit Led, you get to be, Anointed, by the Spirit, to speak to some in the Gift of Prophesy, or the Gift of Word of Wisdom or the Gift of Word of Knowledge, it is a precious honor, to be Led by the Holy Ghost.
About the Author: My name is Pastor Luke L. Chapman. I haven't always been a preacher, quite the contrary. When I was a young teenager everyone always said: "Boy what a good kid Luke is. He is a wonderful young man." Because of a stepfather that had no love for me, my clothes were packed for me and placed on the front porch on Christmas morning. Arrangements were already made for a near friend to pick me up to take me to my real dad's home. This became a cycle unto me. I learned soon to take flight in life, realizing I'm on my own. I was kicked out of school for truancy, failure to want to go to school and to learn. This started a foundation for my life, for my ongoing future. My new friends taught me how to smoke, drink, and cuss and to tell lies. I graduated to smoking weed and using cocaine. I never drank or used cocaine on a regular basis. I just started on weekends or invited parties. I got married and had a Child when I was 21 years old. But, with a lifestyle of drinking, spending money in bars and not on bills or in my home, I soon went through a divorce. Does this sound familiar, like today's youths? At this time, now I'm remarried my wife and I are both cocaine addicts. My wife smoked weed? I sold weed and cocaine to supply our habits. My wife left me one day. I was arrested the same day and put in jail. In jail, I bowed my knees on the floor in my cell. I was the only one there that day. I called upon Jesus and was saved and sent to North Central Correctional Institution. I never thought anyone cared. But I was so wrong. What was meant for evil for me, God changed for the good. Prison became My Bible College. Prison was where God counseled me about my morals. God taught me about being a good husband, a good father unto my Children and how a preacher must live and act. I served six and a half years in prison to learn not do use drugs, not to walk through life aimlessly. I learned my lesson. God raised me up to be a preacher in prison. Prison was my lifesaver. Wow, what a statement one might say! The reason prison was my lifeline was I could have graduated to the other side of life... Six Feet Down. I almost did! I had a heart attack, just before I was sent to prison, from smoking crack cocaine. I almost died. Your Friend... The Harley Davidson Preacher Man Luke L. Chapman Gods Vision...
