Don’t put out the Spirit’s fire.
– 1 Thessalonians 5:19 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
You may say, but the Holy Spirit is God so how can you stop God Himself? Listen…God doesn’t work FOR you, but rather He works THROUGH you. If you don’t want to get up and move when He tells you to, you are literally binding His hands. But when you do this you are grieving Him tremendously. Don’t wound Him like that! We are Jesus’ hands and feet on the earth. If you don’t do what needs to be done, who will??
