Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good… —1 Thessalonians 5:19-21 (NIV)
When God wants to do something dynamic in our lives, the Spirit of God moves into action. We can see an example of this in the book of Genesis. When God was preparing to create the world we know today, the Holy Spirit had to move first.
The Bible records, …the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. —Genesis 1:2-3 (NIV). When the Spirit of God moved over the waters, every word that God spoke became a reality. Therefore, if the Spirit of God does not move in a situation or in someone’s life, God cannot fully work through them.
The moves of the Spirit are not designed by people. Instead, the Spirit of God operates on timings and frequencies that do not play by human rules. We must be sensitive to His movement; this is the only way the Holy Spirit will move within you without limitation. The Holy Spirit loves acceptance and freedom. He will not move in a vessel that doesn’t believe in Him, and He won’t move in someone who is rigid.
If you want the Spirit of God to move in your life, you must stop every form of resistance and give Him the freedom to work. He is an ever-ready help in times of need and a comforter when you need Him the most. He will do all He needs to do if you allow Him to move without limitations.
So, stop resisting the Spirit and stop quenching the move of God’s Spirit in your life. Do not make the Spirit of God hold back while He dwells in you. Give Him freedom by talking to Him, studying the Word, worshipping, and praying. As you engage in these activities, you will see the mighty workings of the Spirit of God manifest in your life. Amen.
