WHO LIES & WHO TELLS THE TRUTH

Three things

1. Grieving of the Holy Spirit

B. I've been in places where the Holy Spirit intensely cried within me and I was in pain. He said, “take me out of here. Don't bring me here anymore.” I know what it means to grieve and even torment the Holy Spirit. Actually, the Holy Spirit did not allow me to return to those places where God performed many miracles. I always wondered about it. Today I fully understand.
