In other words, it is not whether "we believe" the Spirit is leading us, but rather whether He actually, truly is leading us.

Precisely the truth. Amen!

And if the Holy Spirit is leading us then the fruits of the Spirit will be in evidence and our lives will be harmonious with the teachings of Scripture.

It's just not that difficult to understand.

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit...

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." -- Romans 8:1-4;26-28

So very true! Thank you for sharing your insights and testimony - and thank you for those beautiful excerpts from Romans 8!
