Recently I wrote a blog about allowing The Holy Spirit to have His way & say......and received some" interesting "anonymous comments.
Let me clarify again that The Holy Spirit does long for freedom of access into your life, mine and the beautiful bride of Jesus Christ ( the church). The sad truth is that He can be grieved and rejected in which case whilst He strives with all people to allow Him to do His best work in our lives , he will not robotically force us to co-operate with Him, nor compel us to respond to His promptings. It is our choice to respond to His convicting, stirrings, and directions! Be certain of the fact that The Holy Spirit can be grieved , the Word of God says so. Let me share with you some important verses of Scripture: from Ephesians 4:30-31"And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. v31' 'Get rid of all bitterness, rage , & anger , brawling and slander, along with every form of malice."Continuing on with chapter 5 from Ephesians , verses 15-18''Be very careful, then, how you live - not as unwise but as wise, v16. making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.v17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. v.18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit."The Holy Spirit leads us ( if we allow ) to give glory to the Saviour Jesus and helps us to hear the voice of God & obey, there is nothing to be feared in this Holy relationship except if we ignore Him. Allowing the Holy Spirit access is like accepting Salvation ... it has been given freely to us , all we need to do is respond and receive.
If you are in The Salvation Army dear readers understand we have as our motto : BLOOD & FIRE, we are called to be washed in the cleansing blood of Jesus & filled with the Holy Spirit,thus I repeat beware of grieving the Holy Spirit.There are sad consequences if we do.
Jesus help us please!
Revelation repeatedly tells us :''...HE WHO HAS AN EAR LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAYS TO THE CHURCHES."
Praying for you all today....MARNEY
