Grieving the Holy Spirit
“We often neglect or insult the Holy Spirit by ignoring Him or living contrary to His promptings, and then we wonder why there is no power in our lives.” Francis Chan (Forgotten God). We short-circuit the manifest presence of God by grieving the Holy Spirit. In this message we will explore what entails grieving the Holy Spirit and examine the various things that repel God’s Spirit. It is important to note that God’s manifest presence is essentially the presence of the Holy Spirit. It behoves us to study what the Holy Spirit likes and is attracted to, which we have been doing in this series thus far. It is not enough for us to know just what activates the presence without exploring what deactivates the manifest presence of God.
