Don't resist the Holy Spirit!

Act 7:51  Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

Resisting the Holy Spirit.

Do you resist the Holy Spirit?   Do you feel Spirit led to do something and then not do it? Do feel the leading of the Holy Spirit and turn your back on it?  Is your conscience pricked about things and you override your conscience? The Holy Spirit will lead us into truth but there can be NO forcefulness in that leading.  If we're waiting to have the will of God forced on us so we have no choice but to follow that will, then we are NOT truly looking to follow God at all.  We need to willingly submit to our Savior through the Holy Spirit, and live our lives in that submission.   That submission knowingly, intelligently follows Christ.

We can resist the Holy Spirit.

We can fight against the Holy Spirit and that will only succeed in pulling us away from our Savior.

Satan however, will lead us to believe that we're fine, when the truth is, we KNOW, we really KNOW that as we resist the Lord's truth, as we resist the Holy Spirit's guidance, we're putting our walk with Christ in grave jeopardy.  There is no ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED!

There is repentance, there is forgiveness, there is hope, there is mercy and grace, and submission. 

This is truth-

Gen_6:3  And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man…

We have to stop resisting, and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit!

Please, Father, please help us be Spirit led! We don't want to resist the Holy Spirit, we want to be YOURS wholly! Please, bless us, keep us, save us!

Through the LOVE of our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!


Amen.
