Yes studying is important but you ask how does one know they are led by the spirit? By being in synch with him by knowing his voice by basking in his presence this is how you get to do more than know of his glory you experience it you swim in it it is a glory that words do not do justiceRunning the race @Blain.

How does one know that they are led by the Spirit?......By knowing the protocol plan of God. Study,study and study. And APPLYING that knowledge.
We don't magically get to know His plan for us.......We have to ENGAGE in His plan. Grow in His Grace and knowledge.
These forums are a perfect example. Some are stuck on stupid and some are advanced. Some are VERY advanced.......Running the race. Not sitting on the sidelines.
I know that there are highly intellectual types and there are those who are more in tuned with the spiritual aspects I find that a balence of both is what is needed You can study your heart out but unless you are doing so in him it is all for naught a waste all the knowledge in the world cannot bring you to his truth unless you are in fact led by the spirit
