It's easier to convince yourself that you are "led by the spirit" than "not led by the spirit".
When you think you are being led by the spirit, then you physically have to ponder all the events leading up to a decision you must make. It's like performing a checklist or following a bunch of laws in order to have something happen. This can have disastrous results. This is because the goal is about "me". You question if God even hears you!
Galatians 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
When you truly are led by the spirit, events happen and have remarkable results, and you wonder how it all took place. You didn't have to do anything, no checklist, no book of laws, and no real thinking about it. You just followed a small voice in your head that led you on a good and rightful path. The goal, as it turns out, was to help someone else. You walk away dazed yet amazed!
Being Spirit Led is more about acting in the moment, and less about large plans well in advance.
