1 Corinthians 2:9  ‘But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit:

DAILY READING  •  1 Timothy 1, Isaiah 31-33, Psalm 119:33-64

Electricity is an amazing thing. We tend to take it for granted that when we flip the switch, the lights will come on. We can’t see it, smell it, or taste it, but it is there!
In the study of electricity, one of its most outstanding characteristics  is that electricity always takes the path of least resistance. Often the power of the Spirit has been likened to electricity. And likewise too the Holy Spirit will flow where He is not being resisted. It is also interesting that in nature, we find the same character in two things often used to represent the Spirit; the river and the wind.  Rivers flow in the path of least resistance, and the wind will take the path of least resistance.  The Holy Spirit will always go where He is welcome and wherever He is resisted He tends to withdraw Himself. To be successful in our Christian walk  we must be sensitive not to resist, grieve, or quench the Spirit of the Lord.

In Acts 7:51, Stephen rebuked the Jews saying “You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you”.

And in Ephesians 4:30-31 Paul writing to the church at Ephesus, commanded them: “Do not grieve the Holy Spirit.” In the next verse he indicated the things that grieve The Spirit of God. “Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice”.

Indeed if we are going to be led by the Spirit, then we have to get rid of such things from our lives. The Holy Spirit is a person,  and He can be saddened by our behavior. When we, God’s people, harbor bitterness in our hearts and malicious words in our mouths, then we are “grieving The Holy Spirit of God.”

Just as a fire can be quenched, the promptings of the Holy Spirit can be stifled.
God has a plan and a purpose He wants to accomplish through our lives, especially in this second half of the year, but they can only be accessed through the guidance of the Spirit.

1 Cor 2:9 says ‘But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit:

We need the Holy Spirit to guide us into the great and mighty things God has for us in the new month. As you submit wholly to Him He will begin to reveal Himself to you in a new dimension. He will begin to show you the secrets that make stars of men. And one of the ways to create a conducive atmosphere for The Holy Spirit to work in our lives is by maintaining a lifestyle of worship. The more our atmosphere is filled with praise and worship to God the more The Holy Spirit moves, to manifest His miracles, signs and wonders in our lives.
In this new month let us continually maintain the Presence of the Spirit by keeping our atmosphere filled with worship, praise and thanksgiving to God. And when The Holy feels welcomed and not being resisted, then He will begin to manifest mightily and blaze like a mighty fire that will burn every chaff in us and transform us into living wonders ..

PRAYER:  Lord, please help me to never resist Your Spirit. Today, I receive the grace to live a life wholly submitted to Your Word and filled with Your praise, so that the Holy Spirit will flow freely and mightily doing wonders through me in Jesus Name.
