"do not quench the spirit"the voice of the spirit of god is as gentle as a summer breeze - so gentle that unless you are living in complete fellowship and oneness with god, you will never hear it.
the sense of warning and restraint that the spirit gives comes to us in the most amazingly gentle ways. And if you are not sensitive enough to detect his voice, you will quench it, and your spiritual life will be impaired. this sense of restraint will always come as a "still small voice"(1kings 19:12), so faint that no one except a saint of god will notice it.
whenever the spirit gives you a sense of restraint, call a halt and make things right, or else you will go on quenching and grieving him without even knowing it.
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.
