I find it funny that the Holy Spirit told Philip to walk next to the chariot, but Philip spoke up on his own... I don't see any mention of the Holy Spirit saying, "Hey! Dude! Speak up!" I guess God expects us to figure some things out for ourselves. He must be kind of like us in that He doesn't want to spell out everything for us.
However, even if we have to figure some things out on our own by thinking about it and being sensitive to the Holy Spirit, we still need to stay in the Word. God will never lead us to do something that falls outside His Word. The apostle Paul himself (I believe it was Paul... look it up) said that if a man or even an angel preaches another gospel than the one that was preached by the Apostles, that person will be accursed.
Bottom line: Use your brain, but stay in the Word.
Peace out
