The Word of God is very clear about the instructions given to believers regarding how to walk the Christian walk.
Apostle Paul instructs in Galatiansโฌ โญ5โฌ:โญ16โฌ-โญ17AMPโฌโฌ
โ But I say, walk habitually in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be responsive to His guidance],
and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts].
For the sinful nature has its desire which is opposed to the Spirit, and the [desire of the] Spirit opposes the sinful nature;
for these [two, the sinful nature and the Spirit] are in direct opposition to each other [continually in conflict],
so that you [as believers] do not [always] do whatever [good things] you want to do.โ

But if you are guided and led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the Law.โ

We are to allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us. This is how we are truly sons and daughters of God.
Romansโฌ โญ8โฌ:โญ14โฌ โญAMPโฌโฌ tells usโฆ
โFor all who are allowing themselves to be led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.โ

We know that we are walking in the spirit based on the evidence of the fruits of the spirit in our lives.
In Paulโs letter to the Galatians, he admonished in;
Galatiansโฌ 5โฌ:โญ22โฌ-โญ24โฌ โญAMPโฌโฌ
โBut the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is:
– love [unselfish concern for others],
– joy,
– [inner] peace,
– patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],
– kindness,
– goodness,
– faithfulness,
– gentleness,
– self-control.
Against such things there is no law.
And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature together with its passions and appetites.โ

We are to allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us in our prayers.
Ephesiansโฌ โญ6โฌ:โญ18โฌ โญAMPโฌโฌ
โWith all prayer and petition pray [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] in the Spirit, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all Godโs people.โ

We must not grieve the Holy Spirit with our life choices and behavior.
We are to choose to please Him in holiness and kindness and avoid choices and actions that displeases Him.
โญโญ Ephesiansโฌ โญ4โฌ:โญ30โฌ โญAMPโฌโฌ tells us:
โAnd do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [but seek to please Him], by whom you were sealed and marked [branded as Godโs own] for the day of redemption [the final deliverance from the consequences of sin]. [Eph 1:13, 14; Phil 3:20, 21]โ

We are to encourage His gifts and guidance in our lives and not quench the Holy Spirit by ignoring His guidance in our lives.
โญโญ1 Thessaloniansโฌ โญ5โฌ:โญ19โฌ-โญ20โฌ โญAMPโฌโฌ
โDo not quench [subdue, or be unresponsive to the working and guidance of] the [Holy] Spirit. Do not scorn or reject gifts of prophecy or prophecies [spoken revelationsโwords of instruction or exhortation or warning].โ
