Grieve Not The Holy Spirit

By THE HOLY SPIRIT Paul wrote in Ephesians chapter 4:

25 Therefore, putting away lying, Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another.

26 “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

27 nor give place to the devil.

28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.

29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

In order to grieve not the Holy Spirit we must be open and willing to change.  Our current set of beliefs do not take into account the infinite Wisdom and mysteries found within FATHER thus we must be open to receive HIS communication in a continuous fashion.  FATHER imparted HIS Holy Spirit to comfort, lead and convict us as necessary for our growth with the goal of be fully led by THE SPIRIT.

The Holy Spirit will convict us of our sin if we are willing vessels.  In John chapter 16 Jesus spoke:

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.

8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me;

When I mess up the Holy Spirit immediately convicts me and that immediate feedback is critical to my correction and growth.  I must maintain my sensitivity and the best way I know how is to have a continued focus on walking in Love.  I must never let my Love grow cold.  As our hearts and our minds are open and willing to receive, FATHER will impart HIS Wisdom and reveal HIS mysteries unto us.  Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians chapter 2 by THE SPIRIT:

6 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory,

8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9 But as it is written:

​​​“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,

​​Nor have entered into the heart of man

​​The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

​10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

FATHER has, is, and will give various “things” to those who Love HIM.  Love is the key to receiving the hidden Wisdom and the mysteries destined to be given to only those whom HE can trust.  When we die to self and walk in Love we become worthy of HIS trust therefore HE can share the deeper aspects of HIMSELF with us.  Since HE created infinity which is above all we can comprehend, we must be completely open to receive whatever is beyond our current understanding and not be enslaved by man’s doctrines.  We must trust solely IN HIM and be led by HIS SPIRIT in order to conduct ourselves fully and completely according to HIS Divine Intent.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Corinthians chapter 3:

17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

As when continue our walk being led by the Holy Spirit, we will behold the fullness of the glory of THE LORD.  We are being transformed in phases from glory to glory.  Our lights become brighter as we pass through each phase and mature into the fullness of Christ.  Our hearts are cleansed and purified by the washing of HIS Word whether written or spoken directly to us.  As our hearts and minds respond we will no longer grieve the Holy Spirit.  The result is we are pleasing to FATHER.
