THE GLORY OF GOD ( PART 47 )

From Glory to Glory ( Study 26 )

What happens when we ignore the leading of the Holy Spirit?

The Holy Spirit is at work to sanctify us—by revealing sin, revealing the truth, and revealing the glory of Christ.

If we look the other way from Him, it is a profound offense.

The Bible refers to this as resisting (Acts 7:51), quenching (1 Thess. 5:19), or grieving the Holy Spirit (Eph. 4:30). 

All three cases of ignoring or disobeying Him speak of situations where we do not accept His work in our lives.

When we reject what the Word of God has to say to us, when we turn our eyes from the Spirit’s exposure to sin when we say one thing as believers and do another, we sin against the Holy Spirit.

 But when we finally see clearly and acknowledge our sin, accept the truth, and adore Christ, then we can be sure the Spirit is at work within us to will and to do according to His good purpose and for God’s good pleasure.

Abba Father, enable us to walk in tandem with the Holy Spirit, to seek and obey His leading and to invite His presence into our daily lives. Create in us a keen sensitivity to His still small voice and be guided accordingly. Help us to break free from the temptations of the flesh by the power of the Spirit so as to lead the victorious life of an overcomer in Christ for the greater cause of extending Your kingdom rather than seeking our own glory.
