This vital heat produced by the divine Spirit may be quenched. Let a man resist the Spirit, and he will certainly quench this vital energy which it exerts upon the heart. We are next to notice some of the ways in which the Spirit may be quenched. Men often quench the Spirit by directly resisting the truth he presents to their minds.

  • Holy Holy Holy is the LordAlmighty Reply Posted by by niepelnosprawny,org on 5/10/2016 5:19:30 PM Holy Spirit, you who makes me see everything and shows me the way to reach my ideal, you who gives me the divine gift to forgive and forget all the wrong that is done to me and you who are in all instances of my life with me.
  • In that expression, even more than in the cognate expressions of 'quenching the Spirit' (1Thessalonians 5:19), and 'resisting the Holy Ghost', there is implied a personal relation to a Divine Person, capable of being 'grieved' by our transgressions, partly as sins against His perfect holiness, partly as suicidal rejections of His.

How Can I Be Filled With the Holy Spirit?

Ephesians 5:18 – July 9, 2014

If we live another day without the Holy Spirit's control in our lives, we have only ourselves to blame. God has made himself fully available to us. Have we made ourselves fully available to him?

Do Not Quench The Holy Spirit

I Will Pour Out My Spirit On All People

Joel 2:28-32; Acts 2:14-21 – July 10, 2005

A few days ago I happened to see my son Mark intently reading a paperback book. When I asked him what he was reading, he named a title I recognized as being very popular with Christians in their 20's and early 30's. It is, in fact, a bestseller with that group. How did Mark like […]

Do Not Take Your Holy Spirit From Me!

Psalms 51:11 – June 19, 2005

'Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me' (Psalms 51:11). It is sometimes said that no Christian should ever pray this prayer, but I wonder if that is correct. Clearly David feared being cast away by God and losing the Holy Spirit. The big question is not, […]

Do Not Quench the Spirit

1 Thessalonians 5:19 – June 12, 2005

Our text has been translated in various ways: 'Do not quench the Spirit' (ESV). 'Don't suppress the Spirit' (The Message) 'Do not try to stop the work of the Holy Spirit' (New Life Version). 'Don't stifle the Spirit' (HCSB). 'Don't turn away God's Spirit' (CEV). 'Do not put out the Spirit's fire' (NIV). I prefer […]

Do Not Grieve the Spirit

Ephesians 4:29-32 – June 5, 2005

It is so easy for us to be unkind and ungracious. Ephesians 4:29-32 shows us that we grieve the Holy Spirit first by rotten speech (v. 29) and second by rotten attitudes (v. 31). But these two things are not separate. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. We must stop making the Holy Spirit weep because of our unkind words and inner ugliness. Cry out to God for his help. Ask the Lord to open your eyes and see the uncleanness within. Pray for a fresh vision of Jesus dying for you.

Led by the Spirit into the Wilderness

Luke 4:1-14 – May 22, 2005

This is the second message in our new series on the Holy Spirit. Last Sunday we talked about John 3:8 and how the Holy Spirit is the wind—invisible, unpredictable, uncontrollable. He comes and goes as he wishes; no one can control his movements. He alone can give life to the spiritually dead. He alone can […]

The Wind Blows Wherever It Wills

Quenching
John 3:8 – May 15, 2005

This is the first in a six-part series on the Holy Spirit called Experiencing God Today. Two months ago I had no idea that I would be preaching on the Holy Spirit once we finished I Peter. But as I thought about the matter, I felt impressed by the Lord that this is the direction […]

Its possible for a believer to quench the Spirit. Quenching the Spirit is suffocating, extinguishing or suppressing the influence of the Holy Spirit in your life. Quenching the Holy Spirit can happen when you hear him speak to you but don't translate that into action.

Do not quench the Spirit;

The easiest way to quench the work of the Holy Spirit in you life is by applying reasoning and using logic on anything he says and selectively using only parts of it.

Fear

When you fear anything but God, you are giving room for the Holy Spirit to be quenched. You need to remember that the God you worship is greater than any person, situation, demonic force and satan himself. There is a good chance that your fear will prevent you from doing the Will of God.

Unbelief

This attitude can also put off the Holy Spirit. It is when you do not believe what God is capable of. You trust God exists but are not sure if he can do what he claims. Its futile to selectively believe only what you want to believe and and doubt other things when it comes to God

Control

The mark of a good christian walk is to allow God direct and control your life as opposed to you telling God what to do. It is in our nature to try to control everything be it people, situations, events and outcomes. You have to learn to trust God and believe that he has your best interests in mind. The moment you take back control from God and start doing your own thing you quench the Holy Spirit

Unwillingness to yield

You always have your free will, at any point of time you can choose to do whatever you want with your life. Many times what you want and what God wants for you are going to be different. Choosing what you want over what God wants is a sure way of quenching the Holy Spirit. You need to understand that God knows the past, present and future. He also know the hearts of others and uses all this knowledge when deciding something for you. It is simply impossible for you as a human being to think at that level. You need to yield your life to God for him to be able to make a serious difference.

There was a man who was Spirit filled and loved God. He also loved the world, and pleasures of the body. He was once able to speak clearly to God and was guided by God almost in every step of his life. Deep down he began taking this for granted, although God was patient with his sin issues, God wanted him to repent.

Quenching The Holy Spirit Pdf

This man was addicted to pornography, he used to spend a good amount of time watching pornography both from tapes and on the internet. He also was in the habit of visiting prostitutes. Although God was willing to help him overcome, he secretly liked what he was doing. He ignored repeated warnings and calls to change. God was patient and guided him in spite of all this for a long time.

Then one day about 25 years later, he woke up and realized that the joy inside his heart had gone. He no longer felt the peace he once had and he could feel that the Holy Spirit was no longer with him. The emptiness was too much for him to bear. His life lost meaning, he tried hard to get back in fellowship with God but he no longer gets a response. He has shared his testimony with people, prayed and pleaded with God and was willing to repent but silence is all he got.

The fact that he is still convicted of his sins shows that he is not completely forsaken. He still has a chance to get back with God, but it is a hard and painful lesson he had to learn. Losing fellowship with someone as precious as the Holy Spirit is one of the saddest things that can happen to you in this life.
