"A subjective sense of leading--when we've asked for it (as in James 1:5 we ask for wisdom) and when God freely gives it--is wonderful. The desire for such a subjective sense of leading, however, is too often, in contemporary evangelical piety, binding our brothers and sisters in Christ, paralyzing them from enjoying the good choices that God may provide, and causing them to wait wrongly before acting.
Beware of the bondage of guidance." ~ Mark Dever
Dever writes a short but excellent post explaining in simple terms how one can receive God's leading in addition to Scripture. His main point however is that we must be cautious to being in bondage to that type of guidance.
CJ Mahany adds some extra references for reinforcement. In contrast to the misinformation Teampyro would prefer to share.
