Let's take a look at the Holy Spirit checklist and see if we can't discern something here.
First there's the gifts:
Word of Wisdom
Word of Knowledge
Faith
Healing
Working of Miracles
Prophecy
Discerning of spirits
Divers kinds of tongues
Interpretation of tongues
Does your relationship with, do these orbs manifest any of these things? Can you share with me an example or two?
Then there's the fruit of the Spirit:
Love
Joy
Peace
Longsuffering
Gentleness
Goodness
Faith
Meekness
Temperance
Does your relationship with, do these orbs manifest any of these things? Can you share with me an example or two? (Just off the top I find most of them lacking in your attitude here.)
What is the purpose of the Holy Spirit? Isn't it to shine the light on, bring the glory to, and facilitate our relationship with the Risen Christ?
Does your relationship with, do these orbs manifest any of these things? Can you share with me an example or two?
I'm particularly worried that you iterate your relationship as with the Holy Spirit. Your relationship should be with the Risen Christ. The Spirit is a conduit to that. You, your 'relationship', and these orbs remind me of Catholics and Mary - something to preoccupy you, keep you off focus and muddy the waters.
Then there's graven images. We're not supposed to seek them. Because then we worship them instead of the original. That's just our fallen nature. Does your relationship with, do these orbs worship God? Can you share with me an example or two?
True, true, I don't know your experience with the Holy Spirit. But tit for tat, you don't know mine. So climb down off your alter and realize that as much as you know, it's not time to stop learning. It may be time to start discerning.
Does your relationship with, do these orbs manifest any of these things? Can you share with me an example or two? Calmly and without the soapbox?
