Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.

Fire needs three things to thrive: fuel, air, and heat. When firefighters desire to extinguish a flame, they do so by putting water or other retardants on the fire that will quench the it.

In the same way, Christians can quench the Spirit of God in our lives. While the Spirit doesn’t disappear from our life, His power and work are diminished because we have resisted His work and leading.

We resist Him by resisting truth, supporting error, harboring a bitter spirit, violating Scripture, giving into fleshly appetites, or neglecting prayer.

The result can be drastic for a Christian. There is a hardness that settles in our heart, a spiritual coldness, or weakness to resist sin.

The answer is to yield completely to Him today.
