Job 34:14-15

If God were to take back his spirit and withdraw his breath,15 all life would cease, and humanity would turn again to dust.

Acts 5:3-5

Peter asked, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart so that you should lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back some of the money you got for the land? As long as it remained unsold, wasn’t it your own? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? So how could you have thought of doing what you did? You didn’t lie only to men, but also to God!”

Matthew 12:31-33

And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

2 Chronicles 15:1; 20:14; 24:20; Joel 2:28-29; Luke 2:25

Prophets prophesy when the Spirit of God comes upon them

1 Samuel 10:9-10

The Spirit of the LORD will come upon you in power, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person 9 As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul's heart, and all these signs were fulfilled that day. 10 When they arrived at Gibeah, a procession of prophets met him; the Spirit of God came upon him in power, and he joined in their prophesying."

1 Samuel 13:13-14

The Holy Spirit changes Saul and transforms him into a person who can act in power to deliver Israel (1 Samuel 11:6). He reigns for a long time, but gradually stops depending upon God and stops being careful to obey God. After one clear act of disobedience, Samuel says to him: 13  You acted foolishly.... You have not kept the command the LORD your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time. 14  But now your kingdom will not endure; the LORD has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him leader of his people, because you have not kept the LORD's command."


1 Samuel 16:12b-14

Rise and anoint him; he is the one.' 13  So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power.14 Now the Spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul.
