Interaction With The Holy Spirit

The Believer’s Interaction with the Holy Spirit

As the Mighty River of God moving through us, as long as we do not Grieve the Holy Spirit, through Sins of Comisson, or Quench Him (literally putting out the fire), through Sins of Omission, but instead remain fully yielded, He will continue to flow unabated as we by faith expect Him to control/fill us and accomplish His work in and through us. Trusting/Faith is simple communion with Him, expecting Him to speak with us communicating the Will of God moment by moment!
