Don’t quench the Spirit. Let the Holy Spirit work freely in your life. Do not resist His power or voice.  Don’t quench the Spirit—these bold words from Paul urge believers not to resist the work of God within. “Do not quench the Spirit.” (1 Thessalonians 5:19). This command reminds us that spiritual transformation requires our cooperation. When we hinder the Holy Spirit, we slow down our progress in becoming more like Christ.
