5 Pillars: Inspired by the Holy Spirit

“What an interesting example of what I would call negative inspiration. They're wanting to go to Asia. They're wanting to go all the way to Messia, and yet, they're not allowed to by the Holy Spirit of God. Isn't that interesting? Have you ever wanted to do something? And this felt oh, I shouldn't. You want to, but maybe you can't. They weren't allowed to. Some good things are not inspired by God. Sometimes something might be good, but it doesn't mean it's inspired by God. Just because you could see how it would be really good, doesn't mean the Holy Spirit of God wants you to do it, even if you are a super apostle. How do you think they were kept by the Spirit? It doesn't really clear. It doesn't really say, is it an internal feeling, maybe an external event? Could be a person speaking against them going there. We've seen that a few times in the Scriptures. It talks about the Scriptures. It talks about grieving the Spirit some places. Some things grieve the Spirit.”
