There are 2 passages in the bible about this. They say " do not quench the spirit" and tell us not to grieve it. My question is how can the holy spirit be quenched? Secondly, if you quench the holy spirit how can you restore it ? Does blasphemy quench the holy spirit?
When the bible says do not grieve the spirit does that mean dont make it angry and say evil things about it? :eek:
 
I would consider it in terms like… starting from a point in my life where I was hurting from something that was done to me, wrapped in pain, fear, and a lot of Anger at what was done… the Holy Spirit, if I could Hear her properly, would teach me ways out of that, with her wisdom and understanding, and showing me ways to forgive and understand others, etc…

If I, instead, listen to just the “negatives” berating myself for being stupid, for allowing this to happen, to make it my own fault for being hurt by someone else, etc… in ~that~ sense I’m “quenching” the ~good~ sense that would come to me, through her wisdom, if I lifted my hurts up to Jesus, instead of wrapping them around me like a blanket, and suffering by myself…

I’m not sure how well that came out though… Something I’m still kinda learning how to express from my own experiences…

Peace,
