Many Christians have seen the Holy Spirit misrepresented — emotional manipulation, spiritual abuse, or fake fire — and decided, “I’m not going near that again.”
But just because someone mishandled the Holy Spirit doesn’t mean we should reject Him. The counterfeit doesn’t cancel the genuine.
In this message, Andy unpacks 1 Thessalonians 5:16–22 “Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything.”
We explore what it means to grieve, quench, and test the Holy Spirit in a way that leads us back to authentic, Christ-centred desire. This sermon challenges us to move from fear to faith, from skepticism to discernment, and from distance to deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit.
