Spiritual Malpractice

There has always been an assault on the Holy Spirit. Jesus mentions it in the Gospels and it is carried over in the Book of Acts of the Apostles. People were upset with the Holy Spirit, especially the religious leaders of the day and at times the common overly religious person.

The Holy Spirit brought us the ministry of water baptism of John and the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus, but the people of Jesus’s day did not accept what John or Jesus had to say. Sure some believed and followed as disciples but the majority were skeptical and unbelievers.

Jesus said, “Wisdom is justified of her children…Jerusalem would be completely destroyed.” And, it was in 70 AD. Oh, how we ridicule the Holy Spirit. That which we do not understand we make fun of, and we pay for our ignorance and skepticism.

God has judgment for those who do not accept the 3rd part of His Trinity. In fact, God states that all criticism of the three parts of the Trinity would be forgiven, except when you reject the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit brings all of the Father and the Son to us—this is His job. The Spirit displays all of ‘who God is’ to us through the operation of the Gifts, Fruits, Ministries, and Presence of God.

There is legal malpractice, medical malpractice, educational malpractice and of course Spiritual Malpractice. It is Spiritual Malpractice—rejecting who, how and why the Holy

Spirit works—that will usher in the judgment of the Father and the wrath of the Son (Book of Revelation).

If I want to be found acceptable by God at the Judgment Day, it is ‘Spiritual Malpractice’ that need not be written in God’s court proceedings against me. For me, "Give me the Holy Spirit or give me death"—there ‘is no life’ outside of the Holy Spirit ‘in my life’.
