📖 Day 17 – Doctrinal Depths
“Grieving the Holy Ghost: What It Means and How to Stop It”
Ephesians 4:29–32 • 1 Thessalonians 5:19 • Isaiah 63:10
🎙️ [SERIES INTRO]
Welcome to Deep Dive: KJV Bible Studies. I’m Pastor Joshua Tapp from True Words Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky. In this series, we go verse by verse, no fluff, no compromise—just the King James Bible, preached and taught with boldness and truth. Let’s dive in.
💔 POINT 1: THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON—AND HE CAN BE GRIEVED
Ephesians 4:30
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
You can’t grieve a force.
You can’t grieve a power.
You grieve a person.
The Holy Ghost isn’t a feeling, a fog, or a force—He’s God.
🔥 POINT 2: GRIEVING IS NOT LOSING—BUT IT BREAKS FELLOWSHIP
Ephesians 4:31–32
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
When you walk in the flesh, you don’t lose salvation, but you lose closeness.
The Spirit is still in you—but you’re ignoring Him.
🚫 POINT 3: YOU CAN QUENCH THE SPIRIT’S WORK IN YOUR LIFE
1 Thessalonians 5:19
Quench not the Spirit.
This is where most Christians live—quenching the voice, dodging the conviction, numbing the tug.
Grieving leads to quenching. Quenching leads to coldness. Coldness leads to powerlessness.
😢 POINT 4: ISRAEL GRIEVED THE SPIRIT—AND PAID THE PRICE
Isaiah 63:10
But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.
God won’t bless rebellion.
Even if you’re His child—He’ll chasten you. And He’ll stop using you.
You don’t lose your salvation—you lose your power.

Are you grieving the Holy Ghost?
Bitterness. Gossip. Selfishness. Unforgiveness.
These kill your fire and silence your power.
Repent, be renewed, and let the Spirit lead again.
