PILLAR-3: UN-REPAIRED LEAKS LEAD TO FLAT-TIRE LIVING
Turn over with me to 1 Thessalonians 5:19. In this verse, we see the most miserable condition a believer can operate in a time of the Spirit of God being quenched. Note how simply Paul says it:
1 Thessalonians 5:19 (NKJV) Do not quench the Spirit.
In 1 Thessalonians 5:19, the word “quench” is the Gk. sbennumi which means ‘extinguish, stifle, retard, choke’.
Go back with me to the image of someone trudging along, pushing a bike with a flat tire? Or think of one of those cars abandoned by the road after a tire blows? Both are constant reminders of a spiritual condition we also can face.
Bikes pushed long distances: are not living up to what they were designed to be.
Cars left by the road because their tires won’t hold them up for travel: are not living up to what they were designed to be.
Believers who are empty spiritually, not overflowing with the Spirit’s fruit & power: are not living up to what they were designed to be.
This morning, no matter how far we have trudged along through life instead of riding filled with the Spirit, it is only one step back.
The words of a hundred-year-old hymn from 1922, written by Helen Lemmel say it all. That once step back, of putting off, being renewed, and putting on is captured in her poem:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.
