Understanding The Person Of The Holy Spirit – 1

Apostle Grace Lubega

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

The scriptures instruct us never to quench the Holy Spirit. It means that we shouldn’t suppress or stiffle Him in anyway.

Quenching the Spirit is when one interrupts His operation in a place or through a person.

He is a spirit of liberty and how yielded you are to Him defines how much you will flow in these liberties.

For example, when a person hears another speaking in tongues and commands them not to do so, that is quenching the Spirit because when men speak in tongues, it is the Holy Spirit who gives them utterance.

If you disrupt a meeting of a man of God as He teaches the Word, if he is a man of truth, you quench the Holy Spirit. In doing so, you cut short His intended purpose and as such, carry the responsibility of any souls that may be lost as a consequence of your actions.

Some church services are designed in such a way as to quench the Holy Spirit. ‘Program’ is their God and rules the day. There is absolutely no room for the Spirit of God to manifest and fulfil His intention. This does not mean that we should abuse time and unnecessarily elongate services. It means that we must be sensitive enough to allow Him move as He wants to even if it disrupts our carefully planned programs.

Your spirit must be exercised to know what touches the Spirit and what pleases Him. You must know when He says yes and when He says no. When He says proceed and when He says stop.

Hallelujah!
