Chris.
Simeon was sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. As True Believers we have the indwelling Holy Spirit. The moment that we Confess and Believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Saviour the Holy Spirit comes and dwells within us. We begin to fulfil our purpose in life because we are created for the Glory of God. One of the things that I am sure God wants us to learn is to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
