Quench not the Spirit.
1 Thess 5:19 (KJV)
In order that you may not quench the Spirit, you must make it a constant
study to know what is the mind of the Spirit. You must discriminate with the
utmost care between His suggestions and the suggestions of your own deceitful
heart. You will keep in constant recollection what are the offices of the
Spirit as described by Christ in the Gospel of John. You will be on your guard
against impulsive movements, inconsiderate acts, rash words. You will abide in
prayer. Search the Word. Confess Christ on all possible occasions. Seek the
society of His people. Shrink from conformity to the world, its vain fashions,
unmeaning etiquette. Be scrupulous in your reading. “What I say unto you, I say
unto you all, watch!” “Have oil in your lamps.” “Quench not the Spirit.” –Bowen
