QUENCH NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT

• 1 THESS 5:19 SAYS QUENCH NOT  THE HOLY SPIRIT 
• IF THERE IS ANYTIME IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND, IN OUR LIFETIME THAT WE NEED TO PAY FULL ATTENTION TO THE HOLY SPIRIT, IT IS NOW AND MORE THAN EVER BEFORE

• AMPLIFIED BIBLE SAYS “Do not quench [subdue, or be unresponsive to the working and guidance of] the [Holy] Spirit.”
• THE HOLY SPIRIT  IS ALWAYS ON DUTY AND HE IS  WORKING HARD TO CONVICT THE WORLD AND THE CHURCH AND SATAN HIMSELF OF THE WILL OF GOD FOR HUMANITY IN THESE TIMES
• JOHN 16:7-13 AMP

 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the [a]Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him (the Holy Spirit) to you [to be in close fellowship with you]. 8 And He, when He comes, will convict the world about [the guilt of] sin [and the need for a Savior], and about righteousness, and about judgment: 9 about sin [and the true nature of it], because they do not believe in Me [and My message]; 10 about righteousness [personal integrity and godly character], because I am going to My Father and you will no longer see Me; 11 about judgment [the certainty of it], because the ruler of this world (Satan) has been judged and condemned.

• IN THESESE DAYS NOW AND MORE THAN EVER BEFORE ,WE ALL NEED TO LET THE HOLY SPIRIT OUR GUIDE,HELPER ,COMFORTER, COUNSELLOR AND STRENGTHENER DO HIS WORK IN OUR LIVES

• THE SAINTS NEED TO LET THE HOLY SPIRIT MOULD THEIR PERSONALITY FOR PERSONAL INTEGRITY AND GODLY CHARACTER
• THE DEMONS OF THIS WORLD NEED TO ACCEPT THEIR DEFEAT AND LET THE HOLY SPIRIT CONVICT THEM THAT THEY HAVE BEEN JUDGED BY GOD ALMIGHTY
• ALL THESE THRE ENTITIES,THE WORLD OF SINNERS AND BACKSLIDERS,THE SAINTS AND SATAN HIMSELF ARE REALLY TRYING TO QUENCH THE SPIRIT OF GOD ON EARTH
• THANK GOD FOR THE PRAYERFUL NADWATHCFUL SAINTS
• THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE CEO OF THE GODHEAD AND HE IS THE ONE ASSIGNED BY THE LORD TO HELP US SAILL THROUGH OUR TIMES HERE ON EARTH.

 JOHN 16 :7 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the [a]Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him (the Holy Spirit) to you [to be in close fellowship with you].

³⁹ For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

⁴⁰ And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

¹⁴ When they came [back] to the [other nine] disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes questioning and arguing with them. ¹⁵ Immediately, when the entire crowd saw Jesus, they were startled and began running up to greet Him. ¹⁶ He asked them, “What are you discussing with them?” ¹⁷ One of the crowd replied to Him, “Teacher, I brought You my son, possessed with a spirit which makes him unable to speak; ¹⁸ and whenever it seizes him [intending to do harm], it throws him down, and he foams [at the mouth], and grinds his teeth and becomes stiff. I told Your disciples to drive it out, and they could not do it.” ¹⁹ He replied, “O unbelieving (faithless) generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me!” ²⁰ They brought the boy to Him. When the [demonic] spirit saw Him, immediately it threw the boy into a convulsion, and falling to the ground he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth. ²¹ Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he answered, “Since childhood. ²² The demon has often thrown him both into fire and into water, intending to kill him. But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!” ²³ Jesus said to him, “[You say to Me,] ‘If You can?’ All things are possible for the one who believes and trusts [in Me]!” ²⁴ Immediately the father of the boy cried out [with a desperate, piercing cry], saying, “I do believe; help [me overcome] my unbelief.” ²⁵ When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering [around them], He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again!” ²⁶ After screaming out and throwing him into a terrible convulsion, it came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse [so still and pale] that many [of the spectators] said, “He is dead!” ²⁷ But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him; and he stood up. ²⁸ When He had gone indoors, His disciples began asking Him privately, “Why were we unable to drive it out?” ²⁹ He replied to them, “This kind [of unclean spirit] cannot come out by anything but prayer [to the Father]

• BLOOD TEST,URINE AND SUGAR TEST,BP,MRI EXTRAYS COSTING TIME AND MONEY
• BUT THE HOLY GHOST GAVE HIM A ONE SIZE FIT ALL DIAGNOSIS.

• HE IS  JUST USING THAT PROBLEM OF SICKNESS,BARENESS,MISCARRIAGE,JOB LOSS,MARITAL DISHARMONY ,PAIN , SORROW  AND FRUSTRATIONS TO STEAL AND DESTROY YOUR RELATION SHIP AND PEACE IN CHRIST

• BLIND BATHEMEOUS WAS BLESSED BECAUSE THOUGH HE COULD NOT SEE,HE COULD HEAR AND CRY OUT TO JESUS,SO WAS ZACHEUS ETC
• THAT SPIRIT TRIED TO SILENCE HIM THROUGH PEOPLE BUT HE REFUSED TO BE QUIET
• IF YOU WANT TO BE FREE ,IF YOU WANT TO OPERATE IN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT STOP IGNORING THE HOLY SPIRIT
• IN OTHER WORDS STOP QUENCHING THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN YOU
• JUST LOOK AT WHAT JESUS DID AND SAID IN  MARK 9:25-26
