Do not grieve the Holy Spirit..
Can you recall just how many times you've read or seen these
words in your faith walk? Do you know what they mean? Do you know just how you,
personally engage in this act?
So, once again Oswald Chambers - My Utmost for His Highest
has done it again....taken me to a place of deep thought and reflection about
what it means to grieve the Holy Spirit. I've become keenly aware of some of
the behaviors that prevent me from experiencing God in all His glory and
fullness.
Ephesians 4:30 And
do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of
redemption.
Genesis 6:6 The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart
was deeply troubled.
Psalm 78:40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the wasteland!
Isaiah 63:10 Yet they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he turned and became their enemy and he himself fought against them.
John 3:33 Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful.
Ephesians 1:13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,
1 Thessalonians 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit.
Hebrews 10:29 How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
Psalm 78:40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the wasteland!
Isaiah 63:10 Yet they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he turned and became their enemy and he himself fought against them.
John 3:33 Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful.
Ephesians 1:13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,
1 Thessalonians 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit.
Hebrews 10:29 How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
The aforementioned are passages of scriptural examples of
how we grieve the Spirit and what the outcome of our actions may look like...
How ya livin'?!!!
