Instructions for Life in the Church 3
Jesus Christ, who is the Word of God, speaks…
…the Apostles write it down…
…when we read what they wrote…
…we hear what the Spirit is saying to us.
Four Ways We Quench The Spirit:
1. By not listening to the Spirit and thus not knowing God’s will for us.
2. By obeying the desires of the flesh over the desires of the Spirit.
3. By worshipping God in ways that dishonor Him.
4. By walking in fear, rather than boldly in faith.
Notice:
We are not asked to blindly trust what anyone says.
We are to test everything BEFORE we trust it.
Paul uses “good” & “evil” rather than “true” & “false”.
We are to test a prophecy to know its source.
