Why be open to the Holy Spirit? (Bulldog for May)
Why be open to the Holy Spirit? This question is important because the only link between us and the Throne of Grace is the Holy Spirit.
If he is quenched (1 Thessalonians 5.19) or grieved (Ephesians 4.30) we have almost certainly cut off the only link that will let us know how God is moving today, not to mention forfeiting any real intimacy with God (1 John 1.3). We must, therefore, maintain the best possible relationship with the Spirit.
