Living obediently, resolutely, diligently and faithfully according the teachings of Scripture can never quench the Holy Spirit. It’s impossible. Therefore, to insist that a particular charismatic practice or method is unbiblical (assuming that it is indeed unbiblical) will actually encourage the Spirit, and will not drive Him away in any way. We have nothing to fear by holding tightly to the Word of God. We have nothing to fear by turning our backs on unbiblical teaching and practices - even if they are accompanied by all sorts of powerful manifestations in other places.

If anyone, even an angel from heaven, tells you that you must do something that is not commanded in Scripture in order to receive an outpouring of the Spirit, then let him be… wrong.

There is nothing better than to walk in the plans and purposes of God, and to know his dynamic presence in and through it all.

If the cost of such a life is to lose it, then it would be well worth it.
