Thursdays Before the Throne

Been thinking much about ways I have been ignoring the Holy Spirit's prompting in my life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Suppose God brings you to a crisis and you almost endure it,

but not completely.

He will engineer the crisis again,

but this time some of the intensity will be lost.

You will have less discernment and more humiliation at having disobeyed.

If you continue to grieve His Spirit,

there will come a time when that crisis cannot be repeated,

because you have totally quenched Him.

But if you will go on through the crisis,

your life will become a hymn of praise to God.

Never become attached to anything that continues to hurt God.

For you to be free of it,

God must be allowed to hurt whatever it may be."
