The Bible teaches “…do not give the devil an opportunity.... Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,” (Ephesians 4.27, 30).
When we fail to perform the above we “give the devil an opportunity” and “grieve the Holy Spirit of God.” In both cases the writer Paul says, “Do not” do that.
We know what not to do. Flipping the passage to say the same thing from a positive angle, we learn exactly what to do. Reverse the structure of both commands and convert the negative to achieve the same message positively. By substituting “the devil” with “the Holy Spirit of God” and removing “not,” we get…
‘Do grieve the devil and dogive the Holy Spirit of God an opportunity!’
