" Do not put out the Spirit's fire. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject whatever is harmful. May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your Whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.
1 Thessalonians 5:19-24
"Do not put out the Spirit's fire". This has been something i have struggled with, my mind struggles to rationalize everything that i become so skeptical of the spirit, that i end up quenching the gifts of the Spirit. But God has been teaching me that sometimes you just have to let go, you have to give up your understanding, and have the faith to trust. You just have to fall completely into him and he does the rest. Because the one who calls you is faithful and he will not fail you if you go out in him.
Lord i pray that each day we learn to trust you more and more. That each day our daily bread may be given and our faith will grow in you. Turn us away from doubt and skepticism and show us that you are beyond all comprehension, that your glory surpasses everything. Help us just to let go of ourselves and fall into you.
- In Jesus name, Amen
