Jesus had an intimate relationship with His Father in heaven and regularly withdrew, prayed, and spent time alone with God. He knew what it was to be guided and prompted by the Holy Spirit. Scripture does not indicate whether He knew the outcome in advance when He followed those promptings. Similarly for modern-day believers, often God does not reveal the reason for the Holy Spirit’s prompting ahead of time. He usually prompts us to take the first step, and then the next, and so on. The Bible provides many examples where the first step is simply being obedient to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
