Do Not Quench the Flame
“Do not quench the Spirit.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:19 (NASB 1995)
The Holy Spirit is often compared to fire—He purifies, empowers, and warms the heart with God’s presence. But Scripture warns us not to quench Him.
How do we do that? We ignore His promptings. We resist conviction. We exchange His still, small voice for louder, worldly ones.
The Spirit is not forceful. He speaks to those who listen.
Fan the flame. Let His presence grow, not dim.
Reflection:
Are there ways I’ve been silencing or resisting the Spirit in my life?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, forgive me if I’ve ignored Your voice. Reignite what’s been dulled, and help me walk in full surrender to You. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
