Quench not the Spirit. Holdfast to that
which is good. 1 Thessalonians 5:19–20
Are we
raising a whole generation of young men and women without any sensitivity to
the voice of God’s Holy Spirit?
I am on
record, and I will be as long as I live, that I would rather lose a leg and
hobble along throughout the rest of my life than to lose my sensitivity to God
and to His voice and to spiritual things!
Oh, how I
want to keep that sensitivity within me—within my soul!
I am
thinking about a great throng of men and women raised in Christian homes. They
have been brought up in Sunday school. They probably cut their first baby tooth
on the edge of a hymn book when the mother was not watching.
Still, to
this day, they are not right with God. Some have made a kind of profession but
have never been able to delight themselves in the Lord.
The
reason? They have lost sensitivity to the message and the voice of God. If the
Holy Spirit cannot move something within their beings every day they are not
going to be effective Christians—if they are Christians at all!
