Truth 4 the Week - Donot quench the Spirit

Truth 4 the Week
Topic: Donot quench the Spirit
Bible verse : Acts:1:8 (Jesus Said) "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Message: When Holy Spirit comes into us He strengthens & equip us to overcome evil. Bible says Holy Spirit is a Spirit of power, love & self control (2Tim:1:7). So don't quench actions of Holy Spirit (1Thes:5:19). If you donot walk in Spirit you will end up doing desires of flesh (Rom:8:13). Secondly, you cannot be a witness nor you can serve God effectively without the power of Spirit; because our fight is not with man but with dark forces (Eph:6:12). That's why St Paul asks Timothy to fan into flame this gift of God (2Tim:1: 6,14) Finally, the more you listen to Holy Spirit & allow Him to work only then He will increase in you (John:7:38,39 & Is:44:3). Remember we have same Holy Spirit who resurrected Jesus, who was with deciples & many men of God (1Corin:12:4,13 & Rom:8,11)

Prayer: Dear Lord let the Holy Spirit grow in us each day. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

Also false prophets (Mat:24,11,24) True love decreasing (Mat:24:12). We should stay awake & live our daily life in Christ (Mat:24:4,42); because many get deceived when they don't realize & unaware of Truth (Mat:24:38,39). Secondly you get opportunity to stand as a testimony with increase of persecution because God will be with you when you stand in faith (Luk:21:13,14 & Mat:28,20). Finally  since Holy Spirit is with us He helps us not to be deceived & keeps us on victory side ( 1Jhn:2:20,27 & 4:4). God bless you.
