The spirit is fire.. it is powerful.
What does it mean to quench the Spirit?
I was thinking about Peter and James? when they asked the Lord if he was going to rain down fire and brimstone because the town wouldn't receive them.
Jesus said, ye know not what spirit ye are of.
I still am working on that.
There is spiritual fruit.. but there is also that fire..
tongues of fire..
I think we need to allow the Spirit to direct us what to pray for, in what situation to rejoice.
Just give him free reign.
You feel like singing, sing praises. You feel sorrowful, out of blue sad, then let him help you pray.
He is our comforter.
He is also our sheild and our helmet. He wears the armour of God that he shares with us.
His armour protects us.
He is a fighter, a protector, a tutor, a councelor, a friend, a brother, my God.
wow, kinda feels like I hit the roof lol
I don't believe he will leave the one's he hears and the ones who hear him.
It's those that can't see and can't hear, we need to pray for.
And when one has their sight healed and their ears healed, then we can rejoice
another sheep was found.
I believe God is very angry right now. But he is sooo patient.
Even though we have to suffer with him through it.
I never been in any war conflict. Maybe a schoolyard fight on occasion.
I can't imagine the immense power it takes to that long-suffering.
Until you come to realize that Love overcomes Hate.
Kindness overcomes anger.
Mercy and Forgiveness and Grace..
without measure..
Like a fresh cup of cold water in the middle of a desert.
God is Hot.
He is the everlasting fire.
And yet we can touch him. We can touch his heart with our hearts.
They were too afraid to come close to the mountain, so the Lord roped them off and told them keep your distance.
They quenched the Spirit of God.
They quecnched his mercy, his graciousness and provisions, His Love.
Quench not the Spirit..
Love God with all your heart and soul and might
There is no fear in love
and you will be a bush burning as with fire and yet not consumed,
For it doth not yet appear what we shall be, but we know when we see him we shall be like him.
stars of heaven shining in the night..
as long as there is day and night, summer and winter..
There is Hope
