Intentionally Keeping The Holy Spirit In Me

1 Thess 5:19-22
19Do not put out the Spirit's fire; 20do not treat prophecies with contempt. 21Test everything. Hold on to the good. 22Avoid every kind of evil.


The writer is encouraging the followers of Christ to continue to keep in the faith. It says here to not put out the Spirit's fire, meaning to keep in God's faith and to seek Him and His Holy Spirit.

What was revealed to me here is that we are the ones that take the action and puts out the Spirit's fire. A lot of times we complain and or say that we are losing our relationship with Christ, but it is not a passive thing, we are intently putting out the Holy Spirit's fire. I need to seek the Holy Spirit more, and to fast and pray and digest God's words more and more.

Father God, I love You so much. You are the the Holy and Mighty. Your blood redeemed me. Your compassion for me is so great. Thank you for everything. Thank you for the blessings and favor you have for me. I thank you for this word of encouragement. I pray and seek that I may keep Your flame in my Spirit going. Not wanting to let it die. Allow me to spark the Holy Spirit in me. I pray this in all things in Jesus name.
Amen.
