Five Things Not To Do Against the Holy Spirit

 So many people cry out, "we need a move of God!" Yet when it happens they do not know what to do. No one can say they have an edge on God.
We are all learning and growing in understanding and obedience.

There are though warnings of what not to do in the Bible when the Holy Spirit shows up.
I would like to share five things not to do in a move of God.

Five things not to do against the Holy Spirit

1. Blasphemy- Mt 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
What is blasphemy? It is attributing the working power of God by the Holy Spirit to Satan. It actually brings a person to a denial of Christ. When the Pharisees saw the workings of Messiah and attributed it to Satan, they rejected the Redeemer.

2. Lie- Ac 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Pretending to do one thing while doing another. God knows all and sees all. When the move of God is present there is nothing hidden. He will expose every detail of a persons heart and make it manifest.

3. Tempt- Ac 5:9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
To tempt the Holy Spirit means to test. Ananias and Sapphira pretended to sell the land for so much money and give all to the church. Yet they kept part of it. So many people are pretending to give God their all and yet they are keeping a portion of things unto themselves. On the surface it looks like they are all sold out, but God knows they are testing Him!

4. Quench- 1Th 5:19 Quench not the Spirit. To quench the Spirit means to extinguish. This same word is the word sbennumi used in Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
If we extinguish the Fire of the Holy Spirit we will not be able to extinguish the fiery darts of the wicked. Yet so many deny the power of the Holy Spirit. Fan the FLAMES of the Holy Spirit church!

5. Grieve- Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. To grieve the Spirit means to bring into distress or sorrow. The roll of the Holy Spirit is to guide and lead us, to instruct us and bring us to Yeshua. When we resist it brings a grieving or a sadness because The Spirit brings us into the desires of the Father. Let us listen for His Promptings and leadings that we may be transformed into the image of the Son of God.

One way many people are doing these things is by the rejection of the true servants of the Lord. There is a lot of counterfeit out there, but God still has a REMNANT!

Closing Scripture

Lu 11:49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

Be wise church. God is still displaying His power and He is using people to do it. When the true representation of the Kingdom is present, to do the five things listed above will cause one to be in a fight against God Himself.

When people persecute the servants, they persecute God.

In His Service,
Apostle Jesse
