Acts 7:51–52 (MEV) 51 *“You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you. 52 *Which of the prophets have your fathers not persecuted? They have even killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become the betrayers and murderers,

Stephen said that the Pharisees always resisted the Holy Spirit. I wonder what resisting the Holy Spirit would look like today. Have you ever resisted the Holy Spirit? I would suggest that we resist the Holy Spirit every day. We live our lives on our own terms and portray our selves as being in total submission to God. While I probably do not rise to the level of the Pharisees’ resisting the Holy Spirit, I know that resisting the Holy Spirit is easier than following the Holy Spirit.
