Spirit Quenching
"Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good." (1 Thessalonians 5:19-21 NKJV) God's grace does not only provide man with good Spirit, it sustains man in godliness. Without the influence of the world and its worldliness, man has unlimited access to cruise from the terrestrial to the celestial. Therefore, man is daily saddled with the responsibility to response to the demand of the good Spirit and not the dictates of the flesh. Unfortunately, human sense of good is highly subjective to the interest of the flesh, even when the demand of the Spirit is clear. The rule of the thumb is that what is good for the flesh often disagrees with the tenets of godliness. And to quench the Spirit is to procrastinate the service of the Spirit in order to satisfy the interest of the flesh.
