A believer's relationship with God is tested when things are not going well in his life.
He may be at a struggle to understand why God is letting this thing happen to him. His emotions may be at a turmoil.
In such a situation, simply telling him to "follow the Spirit" is not helpful.
To quote an article I read, he may have the following expressions
“I feel so spiritually dry right now.”
“Why can’t I hear God’s voice?”
“I’m unable to feel God’s presence in my life.”
If on the other hand, he is certain of God's presence, then he may end up following his own sinful desires, and pursue a sinful course of action which he may mistakenly attribute it to the Spirit's leading.
God's word is unchanging. God's standards of "right and wrong" do not change despite our emotions.
The believer should be guided by what God has said to be "right and wrong". That is how we tell he is trusting God:- when he is obeying the bible even when things are not going well and he does not understand why this is happening to him.
