ATTITUDES THAT GLADDENS THE HOLY SPIRIT

"Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32. And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." (Ephesians 4:31-32 KJV)

After Apostle Paul revealed some of the attitudes that grieve the Holy Spirit, which we are to get rid of or put away, he followed them up with some of the right attitudes that gladdens the Spirit and hence promote His operations in our lives.

He declared that whiles we are to put away with every form of malice or wickedness, we are to be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another even as God for Christ sake has forgiven us.

These attitudes, being kindness, tenderheartedness, and forgiveness are attitudes that gladdens the Holy Spirit and thus opens our own spirit up to the operations of the Holy Spirit and also enriches our intimacy with Him.

By these attitudes the Holy Spirit flows more with our own spirit and effectively carries out His own ministry in and through our spirit to the Glory of God.

Thus, from today let's consciously embrace these attitudes and make them our daily lifestyle and by so doing we will experience the operations of the Holy Ghost in greater dimensions in Jesus name. Amen!

Prayer/Declaration
