Do you grieve God,
the Holy Spirit?
Grieve- From G3077;
to distress; reflexively or passively to be sad: - cause grief, grieve, be in
heaviness, (be) sorrow (-ful), be (make) sorry.
READ ALL of the
following! If you want to know HOW you can grieve the Holy Spirit (in part)
read and pray for understanding, as I am definitely doing.
Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord,
beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
Eph 4:2 With all LOWLINESS and MEEKNESS, with
LONGSUFFERING, FORBEARING ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE
Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit
in the bond of peace.
Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye
are called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all,
and through all, and in you all.
Eph 4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace
according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Eph 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on
high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
Eph 4:9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he
also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
Eph 4:10 He that descended is the same also that
ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some,
prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the
work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith,
and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of
the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Eph 4:14 That we henceforth BE NO MORE CHILDREN TOSSED
TO AND FROM AND CARRIED ABOUT WITH EVERY WIND OF DOCTRINE, BY THE SLEIGHT OF
MEN AND CUNNING CRAFTINESS, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Eph 4:15 But SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE, may grow up
into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Eph 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined
together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the
effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body
unto the edifying of itself in love.
Eph 4:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the
Lord, that ye henceforth WALK
NOT AS OTHER GENTILES WALK IN THE VANITY OF THEIR MIND
Eph 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being
alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because
of the blindness of their heart:
Eph 4:19 Who being past feeling have given themselves
over unto LASCIVIOUSNESS, to work all UNCLEANNESS WITH GREEDINESS.
Eph 4:20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
Eph 4:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have
been taught by him, as the TRUTH is in Jesus:
Eph 4:22 That ye PUT OFF CONCERNING THE FORMER
CONVERSATION THE OLD MAN, WHICH IS CORRUPT ACCORDING TO THE DECEITFULNESS LUSTS
Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after
God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Eph 4:25 Wherefore PUTTING AWAY LYING, SPEAK EVERY MAN
TRUTH WITH HIS NEIGHBOR: for we are members one of another.
Eph 4:26 Be ye angry, and SIN NOT: LET NOT THE SUN GO
DOWN UPON YOUR WRATH:
Eph 4:27 NEITHER GIVE PLACE TO THE DEVIL.
Eph 4:28 Let him that stole STEAL NO MORE: but rather
let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may
have to give to him that needeth.
Eph 4:29 Let NO CORRUPT COMMUNICATION PROCEED OUT OF
YOUR MOUTH, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister
grace unto the hearers.
Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God,
whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Eph 4:31 Let ALL BITTERNESS, AND WRATH AND ANGER AND
CLAMOUR AND EVIL SPEAKING BE PUT AWAY FROM YOU WITH ALL MALICE:
Eph 4:32 And BE YE KIND ONE TO ANOTHER, TENDERHEARTED,
FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Do you, do WE
understand?! Do we want to understand! Are we being enlightened with TRUTH? Do
we want the truth? Truth meaning realizing just how far we are from being able
to say we DO NOT grieve the Holy Spirit.
ALL evil in all its
many forms from the greatest evil to the least- grieves the Holy Spirit.
Some want to believe
that they can do anything -all the evil they desire without consequence- this
isn't true. Every minute of every day we
need to be consecrated to God. We need to comprehend our Savior as a reality.
We need to look at the word of truth to comprehend reality. If we look just to
ourselves there is little truth. We need to trust that everything we are going
through in our life, all the tests we face, all the evil temptations we are
exposed to all of these will somehow work towards our GOOD because we LOVE GOD
and truth in HIM.
We cannot embrace
ANY evil we find in ourselves, not a single bit. To embrace the evil we are
prone to and strive towards accepting the evil puts us on a slippery slope
towards calling that evil good. Please
LORD help us to forever see how we grieve the Holy Spirit so we may SEEK
forgiveness from YOU and strive not to keep grieving the Holy Spirit, we would
NOT grieve you God-the Holy Spirit who is our comforter, our sealer, our
teacher, our all in all in our Savior Jesus Christ our LORD.
Please!
All in YOU! Now and
forever!
