Pursuing the Spirit - Grieving and Quenching

Jan 11, 2026    Brian Barr

Are you satisfied with your current relationship with God, or do you want more of His presence and nearness? A.W. Tozer once said we have as much of God as we actually want, inviting us to examine how we engage with Him. The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force, but God Himself—our Advocate, the Spirit of truth, with us and in us. Because He is personal, He can be grieved or quenched when we neglect relationship, rely on ourselves, resist His work, or confine Him to what feels comfortable. While this doesn’t remove us from Christ, it can dull our awareness of God’s joy, peace, love, and nearness. The invitation is to reflect honestly on where we may have poured water on the Spirit’s work instead of fanning it into flame.
