Quench Not the Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:19)

Quench not the Spirit. (1 Thessalonians 5:19)

The Holy Spirit is in every believer. “Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his” (Romans 8:9). His desire is to lead every believer, but He leads, and does not control. Therefore, we read, “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption” (Ephesians 4:30).

Every day, we seek His guidance. Every day, we have a choice, to seek His leading or drown out His voice with our own will. Therefore, we receive His command, “Quench not the Spirit.”
