“Quench not the Spirit” (1 Thes. 5:19).
The Bible teaches that The Holy Spirit Indwells each believer in Christ:
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that
the Spirit of God Dwelleth in you?” (1 Cor. 3:16).
The word “quench” means to extinguish, stifle, and suppress, as one would
extinguish a fire...
Paul prayed for the Ephesians that God would grant them “to be strengthened
with might by His Spirit in the inner man” (Eph. 3:16). God is our strength
(Psa. 18:2). The way we are strengthened by the Spirit in the inner man is by
nearness to God.
When we do not stifle the Spirit’s fire, and allow Him to draw us closer in our
relationship with our Savior, we will “be strengthened with might...in the inner
man.” May we “quench not the Spirit” by submitting our hearts to God, opening,
trusting, and rightly dividing the Word...
...“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the Word of Truth” (2 Tim. 2:15).
By failing to rightly divide the Word, and attempting to live by promises made
to Israel under her prophetic program, we can quench the Spirit....
